the word faggot is a derogatory slur used against members of the lgbtq+ community, itâs started off as an offensive slang word to use against a gay man/boy but has since branched out to be used against other parts of the community. before you come at me, i can reclaim this slur.
person 1: hey dude, heâs a fucking faggot.
person 2: you really shouldnât use that word. it has a long history of homophobia.
