The word fag or faggot is used widely by gay people in america as a positive word. Just like dyke is a insult to some, and a loving term to others. No there is no such thing as a bad word, ingnorant people makes words bad. So for gay people to agree that the word is bad we are only giving into it and giving the ignorant people who made it bad more power. I personaly love the word fag. But to each his own.
