We shouldn't censor words. Bad habit. The only way to get rid of slurs and 'bad words' is to remove their power. Acting like the word for a meat product is Voldemort isn't helping anyone. Especially as LGBT use it amongst ourselves anyway.

Glad to see lemmy would get their tipex out and censor all of the N words out of To Kill A Mockingbird. Good job guys, you ended bigotry.

Sorry, a f*ggot is a meatball made from offal. It's a traditional UK dish and you see it on menus semi frequently in British cuisine restaurants.

Also fag is a cigarette. Both are in use.

removed is American English and homophobes in the UK preferred the term poof so they could eat their removeds for dinner.
