The word 'Faggot', in all it's glory, is derived from the Latin 'Fascis' - a measured bundle of sticks - which is also the origin of the word 'Fascist', in all it's glory.

The 'Fasces Lictoriae' - shown in the cartoon - were bundles of sticks that were symbols of office carried by Roman Lictors (ceremonial body guards). The bound rods represented the combined power of the people which was used by the Magistrate (office holder) to impose discipline on their behalf. The axe was a later addition symbolising the right to impose (capital) punishment on the people's behalf.

If They are going to continue to use the word for Gays, I think it should be embraced and worn with pride - strength through unity - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB3RBxnn98g

Feck 'em!


Commas matter - 'Party on Dudes' is not the same as 'Party on, Dudes'

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
