Faggot

In American culture, ‘faggot’ was originally intended to be a derogatory word to be used against those of homosexual proclivities. However, the LGBT community has since reclaimed the word and repurposed it to denote a gay individual that displays and perpetuates certain messy, toxic and abrasive behavior. They perpetrate this ‘messiness’ in a variety of ways: chief among them being extremely confrontational, inciting arguments or drama, and being derisive to others, especially their fellow gays. In reclaiming this word and asserting this nuance, gays have put a wedge between their homosexual proclivities and some of the toxic traits that are stereotypically characteristic of gay culture.

I might be gay, but at least I’m not a faggot!
