I feel the Goonfather should say something to make peace. He did use an offensive word after all.

Goonfather,

You might not know how much the word “fag” hurts a gay person because you’re not one and you do not understand the sub-culture. As Jason pointed out, the word is as derogatory as “nigger” is to a black person. As for your comment, I have to say that it did make a pinch when I first read it. It could have been much better if you had said “do I look gay to you?” instead. “Gay” is not an offensive word but “fag” is. You have to understand the difference connotations of words make.

Goonfather: Please recognise that the word fag is as derogatory as the word nigger. No matter what a black man feels about himself, he IS going to be insulted if you call him a nigger. Likewise with the term fag. There is no excuse for using language like that especially if you are going to be unrepentant about it.

Jason: It would only be derogatory if he is ashame of himself. And if this group of people wants to be accepted in society, they first need to accept themselves and be proud of what they are. And I believe many of them already accepted and are proud, so for the minority who still look down on themselves, it is time for them to wake up and face the world. =)

Goonfather: I agree that not associating doesn’t mean discriminating. However the term “fag” suggests that because it is derogatory in nature. But like you said, you didn’t mean it. I’m simply pointing out the tone that comes across. =)

Jason: I meant what I said. And there was nuttin negative about it. I did not say that gays are bad. Yes, I do not want to be associated with one of them, same as not wanting to be associated as being a women. But that does not mean I hate women. I love women! It also does not mean I love gays. I am neutral to them. They are just another species of human beings, that’s all. :)

By the way, not associating yourself as being Jason Tan, Jason Wong or Jason Lim, does not mean you are discriminating the Tan, Wong and Lim family right?
