"If he gay, the way he taste, that shit turn hetero"
I guess so. I kinda thought this before but... I still like her music...
Yup.
The whole, well I wouldn't say it around gay people! thing completely ignores the root issue of thinking lesser of gay people.
"I don't use it around gay people because I don't want them to know I think of their existence as something to be ridiculed!"
Yeah. The thing that makes it easy to slip into my mindstate is that people often use profanity and derogatory/inflammatory remarks with their friends in jest. Like calling your friend an motherfucker or a dumbass. It makes it easier to slip into racial and homophobic slurs because you're used to not filtering your language in certain places, where you'd filter it in others.
Though I wasn't calling him that for loving his wife, I called him that for telling me (his brother) that he loves me and wants me to have a good day at work. That's the joke. That showing emotion is a feminine thing to do and thus, since he's a man, and he's feminine... he's gay.
I agree. That's the part I said I'm working on. I don't have to work on not saying it around gay people because I don't say it around gay people.
I mean... habitual behavior doesn't change overnight. Bad behavior or not. But it's not like I "need" to use it. I'm just used to using it (as I'd wager most males are from my generation). I grew up a devout Christian and homophobic slurs weren't seen as bad as "regular" profanity, so me and my brother would call each other homophobic slurs in the stead of things like motherfucker, asshole, bitch, etc. Hell, our parents would hit us for saying nigga, but not homophobic stuff.
I swear people in these threads act like quitting a slur is like going off drugs or something. You won't go through withdraw if you stop using it, just think before you speak.
Yikes...
So being in love with his wife and sending her a sweet message makes him a "faggot"? What the hell is wrong with you?
User Banned (2 Weeks): Rationalising homophobia and sexism.
Not at all. Just saying something ingrained in your vocabulary magically disappearing from your vocabulary doesn't happen immediately. I'm not saying it's okay, or even that it's an excuse for her (or my behavior). I'm saying I can't judge her for what she said in the past, when I said/say shit like that.
And it's taking time to break that habit. Also: I'm not a bad person.
I'm not saying it IS, I'm saying that's the joke. I'm not saying anything at all you haven't heard implied through sitcoms, radio shows, comics, or anywhere else. Dudes are tough, no-nonsense bros that don't reveal emotions. Emotions are for women folk (as the joke goes). My brother did that, and went as far as to tell me he loved me (he didn't, that was a text he meant to send to his wife).
Revealing his saccharine emotions made him look feminine... gays are stereotyped as feminine... I called him a gay slur.
Keep in mind, I'm not saying any of this is okay. I just don't understand why everyone's acting like they don't know where this shit came from or how often it happens.
...This would be the third time I had to respond to this, so instead I'm just gonna wait for you to re-read what I actually said (or the response to the other person that had the same response as you, lol).
EDIT: You know what? Nevermind with my replies. Neither of us are disagreeing that what was said was wrong, and that it shouldn't be said so there's no point arguing. My responses are just arguing semantics.

I just don't think that these kinds of threads should contain people bashing the person willy-nilly. Seems a bit childish.
I'm gay and didn't feel at all comfortable by what she said. People have already discussed my every point in this thread, so I decided to add to it and not rehash.
Defending homophobia with sexism... you're not working on it very hard dude.
I cannot imagine how you could type this and think yeah this is what I want to put out into the world
Damn, I thought this was going to be a vid of a cat pouring out a milkshake--like Piano Cat or something.
I didn't know who this person was, but after reading the tweet in the OP, I won't bother finding out more. I went through four years of high school and never called anyone that word.

A homophobic slur wrapped in a misogynistic wrapper... you have some shit to work on my dude.
What the hell is this post?
Do we have to care why you use a homophobic slur? Just don't fucking use it.
Stop rationalising hate speech.
This is why the person in the OP said what they did. They think that as long as they explain why they use hate speech, everything will be ok. No, disown the word and pledge to never use it again.
It's not fucking rocket science.
She will be fine. Look at the platinum selling artist Travis Scott(album cameout this summer and hit plat)calling fans in his live show the f-word and queer a few years ago.
