per the dictionary - faggot: bundle of sticks
Edited to add the following: I have gay and lesbian friends. Believe me, they know better than we do about "who is and who isn't". Unless they are a true queen or a real bull dyke - they are the same as you and I. They just prefer someone else. Secondly, I have this one gay friend. Prior to becoming friends we were at the same BBQ. He knew that I was from a rural area, and had made an assumption about people from that area. I, without thought made the following statement "it ain't a party till there's a good dawg fight". He and several others made some assumptions about the type of person that I was as a result. It took 2yrs to dispell those myths. Don't judge! |

Well, in Texas it could be language that "tends to incite an immediate breach on the peace." That is an arrestable class C misdemeanor. But each state has it's own laws.

It would be considered slander to call someone by a derogatory or hurtfull term. If they have a good enough lawyer, he/she can tack on a lower count of hate crime. I don't think these are jailable offenses but it can cost you. Specially if they can gather enough witnesses.

Probably no more so than the KKK can sit on a public street and call people "niggers" and claim it as part of their First Amendment rights... but why would you want to? Not like they're gonna run home and convert to a heterosexual lifestyle after you insult them.... Knock yourself out if you feel the need but it doesn't do a whole lot of good. They're gonna leave Wal-Mart just as big of lesbians as when they walked in... the only difference is that they're gonna go home and tell all they're friends about the dickhead they met at Wal-Mart today.

That is really hateful and inappropriate.
Besides, as a man I love lesbians. In fact, it has been suggested that I am a lesbian in a man's body. There is something seriously wrong with any man who hates lesbians....well maybe the ugly ones, but the lesbian babes in Vivid or the Playboy channel are serious contenders. The Collector.... |

In most states, you could get seriously jacked up and dragged into civil court even if you didn't get arrested. So you were minding your own business, and they seem to have been minding theirs. Why on earth would you feel such a need to ruin their day with a comment like that? Were they hurting you? What's your problem?

I agree. I also don't see anything in the Bible about lesbians. It says "man shall not lie with man". If the prohibiton included women, it would have said so. |

No it's not illegal. Denying them the purchase of a home, rental property, education, job, etc... on the basis of their sexual preference is illegal under the Civil Rights Act. (except in my town of Cincinnati where the city ordinance made it specifically illegal to protect homosexuality under the Civil Rights statutes!!! YAAAY!!!)
If you said it to them directly, then you couldn't be sued for slander either. Slander means that you would have had to make a maliciously false statement to the detriment or defamation of their character so as to cause loss. That would ultimately be a civil matter, but since they were openly expressing their gayness, then they were opening themselves up for someone's opinion. Might not have been an APPROPRIATE thing to say, but then again, I am not you. That's for you to decide. |

Sparky made my point. I am VERY politically [b]IN[/b]correct, but I see no reason to be nasty to someone, even if they are outside the norm. If I overheard you say it I would have a strong reaction and definitely put you in your place. And, no, I am not queer, and I have no friends or relatives who are (that I know of). Why not just be decent and mind your own damned business? If the only thing that stopped you was the fear of legal repercussions, you really ought to do a little self-examination of your innards--mental, that is. No class, man. [V]

Well, they weren't hitting on your wife, girlfriend, or daughter, huh? Well, if it isn't your cup of tea, well, let it go.
We have more than enough to worry about these days, without adding other peoples personal business... gun control loss of privacy excessive taxes terrorism etc, etc, etc So, things such as a person's race, sexual preferences, hair color, body weight, are just too unimportant for me to waste time thinking about. You want to be left alone, to keep the arms you think you have a right to own, read what you want, live and travel where you want, etc... but you cannot stay out of another's business? I think you should extend the same freedoms to others that you expect for yourself. But that is my opinion... |

As a young lad, one of the first things Moms taught me was "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and if she didn't like what I had to say she would slap the shit out of me. (this was the olden days when you could do that kinda stuff) The lesson took...

Karkatoa:
If you are compelled to do something like this, then you need to use the correct jargon. "Faggot" is the term used most often to describe male homosexuals. If you had yelled "faggot" at the two women they may not have known that you are directing your comments to them and your efforts to be offensive would have been wasted. The more appropriate term would have be "dyke", "butch", "lesbo", etc. That would have gotten thier attention. However I agree with resqman in terms of the probable response. Legally speaking in most places it wouldn't be that big of a deal unless violence or the threat of violence was invloved. If that is the case then yes, hate crimes would be an issue. Finally a word of caution: Becareful! I have worked with homosexual people who don't take that kind of crap. They work out, train in the martial arts, and have conceal carry permits. So becareful who you screw with. It would be a shame for you to get your ass kicked by a couple of "dykes" or a "faggot". What would you say then? Supposed you initiated an altercation with a male homosexual only to have him kick the crap out of your ass, then have him decide that you were kind of cute. What would you do then? |

LMAO, hey--remember the scene in [B]PORKY'S[/B] where the Jewish guy says to the white trash guy who had repeated referred to him as a "kite"--"It's [i]kike[/i], not "kite". You're not even smart enough to be a good bigot." Then he walloped the shit out of the cretin. Classic. |

Well, you could probably call them that w/o any charges being brought against you. But why... heck, I love pussy myself, and can't blame anyone else for liking it. All of us guys are "lesbians trapped in men's bodies!" LOL!!! But as for those guys... well, that's another story... but heck, to each his/her own.
Some people like "innies" and some like "outies." I am partial to the "innies" myself. ARnSC [whacko] |

I really dont mind homosexuals as long as they keep their lifestyles to themselves. When they start going out in public flaunting it, thats when I have to draw the line.
Also, all youz who are saying you dont mind female homosexuality. You do realize that the more women who are turned onto this lifestyle, that means less pussy for you normal men? |

Really, Krak, I am having a hard time understanding why you would want to even do this to begin with.
Seriously................agreeing or not disagreeing with someones lifestyle is not the basis by which you justify a verbal assault in a public place. Were I a lesbian and you started that shit with me I'd beat your damn ass right their under the smiley face. No.........I am not queer............and personally I don't support teh gay lifestyle but reverse the situation for a moment if you will. Suppose you are at the Wal-Mart sporting goods counter buying some ammo for your pistol......lets make that a Glock 21 okay? Now........two anti-gun/anti-hunting types start verbally harrassing you while you are minding your own business. They get loud and you get really pissed. How'd you feel then? I would think one would want only to engage others when there is an eminent threat of violence to themselves or some innocent third party/family member. Personally.....I try to see that those who are asking for usually get it. Get my drift? |

Well perhaps, and I say PERHAPS, commenting on someones lifestyle choice which they display in public is in poor taste.
But how else does one deal with homosexuals growing bolder and bolder in flaunting their lifestyles in public? |
