Do we own this yet?

I see it on some sites by guys who want to be the dominant master role.

I see it still in some derogatory posts on Twitter and elsewhere.

I have no problem owning the word that I was called at least a hundred times growing up.

This Pride month, what are your reactions to this appelation?

Does it make you recoil?

Do you respond (like I do) and say "you say it like it is a bad thing".
 
As far as UK is concerned these are faggots:

And that is not "the F word", either.
 
@NotHardUp1 Wouldn't "own one" any more than someone calling a woman a bitch in my presence.

I am particularly offended by the use of the word "bitch" to describe both males and females put in a subservient or sexually "passive" role. Am I correct in assuming this is prison argot?

I'm not sure etymologists can honestly say whether the popularization of "bitch" has come from prisons, per se, or if it became prison argot from an ethnic slang use that followed users to prison and back.

Modern PC forces would never allow such attribution to be researched or affirmed. The speculation about it would be which corners of society have adopted it, including a very visible cadre of gay men who affect the diva whore persona of many drag queens, akin to the adoption of "gurl" to refer to any other man, an obvious attempt to feminize men in what would have originally been perceived as almost shocking juxtapositioning of genders.

Unsurprisingly, it has never been a favorite slang term among lesbians, so hardly an LGBTQ preference.
 
On a similar note, I should add that I find the use of "sissy" to be equally offensive. Fuck that.

It exists solely to denigrate, to impugn, and to bully. It is invaribly applied to any male perceived as less than macho, as weak, or as feminine, when feminine is solely used to mean less than equal. It could originate from anything as normal and simple as a preschooler applying his mother's makeup in a moment of play, exploration, or experiment, or even envy. In older males, it could be employed if another man wore deodorant, averred from violent contact sports, read too much, adopted domestic arts like cooking, horticulture, music, needlecraft, or even cared too much about parenting.

It deserves revulsion due to its intent to minimize and diminish a male for not conforming to gender roles, specifically in a hierarchy where such roles are defined as lesser. It is prominently anti-feminist, and I was raised in a household of remarkably accomplished women, in a church where women were clerics and accepted leaders, and in an era in which that was defined as progressive.
 
Ever read it? A fascinating and satirical look at homos in New York before AIDS. By one of the earliest, angriest and most influential AIDS activists in America.

Many would argue that the whole concept of "owning" epithets is wrong. Rather than dispelling the stigma of the slur, it promulgates it, and only gives it more life. Certainly that is true of the use of gay, which wasn't even an epithet, but is just as much one now as ever, with an entire generation of post-liberation youth still using it in social media and in person as a disparagement, and an insult.

When browsing the web, there is no shortage of would-be shock-jockesque use of slurs:
