| Let me suggest an analogy: Let’s say the playwright is gay and uses fag in the title. As a gay man, I would be fine with that versus a straight person using that word (especially if the person is known to be homophobic. Just my 2 cents Note - this is my opinion. I will not reply to any nasty comments. |

| Same with Larry Kramer's novel Faggots. Though come to think of it, many gay men were not happy at the time with either his title or the book :-) Which really WAS the point. |

| As a gay guy, I object to using the term in the title | |

| And that word is fag or faggot. I’ve heard the arguments that gays take back the word by using it (and I’ve heard that same argument for the n word), but I don’t buy it. When people see and hear something over and over, they become immune to it and it becomes acceptable. I don’t think (and maybe I’m completely wrong) that we don’t change the narrative for the world if we don’t change it in the community. | |
