I am offended by it because they are using it as a derogatory term that means "bad" or "stupid" when really all it means is happy or homosexual...it like saying thats so happy when you mean to say thats so stupid..just for the record though...Im not gay so dont call me a fa--ot which also reminds me of something. Faggots were bundles of twigs that were used for burning people at the stake. so when you call someone a faggot its like saying you want to use them to burn someone bad
this is my long rant...but still its offensive to some people to call things gay if what you mean to say is that its stupid
actually (and I learned this from my music teacher today, he's not a homophobe or anything, he just knows a lot of weird shit that most people don't haha) they call gay people fags because fags are what they call cigs in like the UK and stuff, and you "light up a fag", and that's how they came to calling homosexuals "fags" because they used to "light them up" or burn them at the stake rather way back when in old times..
