[edit] Female Faggots

Faggot is not just a name for a male homosexual or effiminate man but also describes a female homosexual or a masculine woman. Article corrected to reflect this. YourPTR! 10:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I've heard it applied to female homosexuals. Without getting into a discussion of gender epithets, the only equivalent term I've heard applied to them is 'dyke.' - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Well I disagree. If a lesbian can be a homosexual, gay and a queer then it can certainly be a faggot and plenty of Conservatives refer to them as such. A faggot is just a non-PC term for a homosexual. A lesbian is a female homosexual. Do a Google search if you are in any doubt that people don't refer to these evil perverts as faggots.

Yeah, we aren't going to let you soapbox this. YourPTR, Your. Frankly, I saw your straw man argument coming a mile away. I think I am going to post my comment here, so that way, it can serve as fodder to have you blocked. Enjoy. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I accept that the above comment may not actually be the work of who it claims to be. Unless YourPTR! wishes to claim it, let's assume good faith. With regard to the question of whether a lesbian can be called a faggot, I think we need a good source. garik 00:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
