The use of colloquials, by definition of the term infer or conote a familiarity, which we don't have. When the colloquial (fag) also has a perjorative connotation, the useage of the term carries an added weight.<BR/>It's like the old American Express commercial, "Membership has its privileges." Or to use another analogy, some African Americans use the "N" word in reference to each other. As as white man, I can't use that word without it being offensive. Fag, faggot, and other words used in referring to gays that carry a perjorative conotation is just not cool when used by non-gay people.<BR/>In response to your question, this issue is not about "Fags and holes". I would venture to bet that straight men are more concerned with 'holes', than are gay men. Us fags tend to focus our attention on 'poles'.gay CME guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817474200268605557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725856347380049567.post-30790367128769541392008-10-12T14:08:00.000-05:002008-10-12T14:08:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.gay CME guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817474200268605557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725856347380049567.post-50030328507813846132008-10-12T12:14:00.000-05:002008-10-12T12:14:00.000-05:00What is it with Fags and Holes?What is it with Fags and Holes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725856347380049567.post-63062212962545427592008-10-05T22:53:00.000-05:002008-10-05T22:53:00.000-05:00What a funny story.
