Today in society, slurs such as faggot and homo are used to de-masculize a individual by
questioning their masculinity. The slurs
are used commonly and are even directed at non-gay and homosexual men. Used as
slang and comedic dialogue for describing something or someone as lame or
stupid, these sayings have caused much controversy as members of the gay
community find the slurs to be both offensive and ignorant. The article "Who You Callin A
Faggot", is an excellent example of how the use of such derogatory words
can negatively impact and affect the individuals for whom these slurs are
directed at.
