I wasn't backing up al, although al's the breh, I just don't get down with bigotry on any level. You'll notice I'm probably the only person on here that doesn't use the word 'faggot' for the same reason.
i can see where you're coming from & can acknowledge that i should prolly phase it out of my vocabulary but i'd say its definitely levels to the shit. like you said before you consider gay rights the most important social issue of our generation & i'd highly disagree. race relations still have a precedent & hold much more weight by & large in this country. a gay white man is much better off than a straight POC still imo.
not to excuse my own ignorance with the word, i do know its offensive & i should quit but the group itself isnt as marginalized that im setting it back by my rare use of it.

When I say that its the most important social issue of our time, I mean in terms of the legal system. Enforcement aside (and I'm not trying to diminish that as an issue).
