Guillen calls columnist homosexual slur
I have called people fags too. Although, most of the time since I left grade school I was usually talking to a gay friend and didn't feel comfortable calling them bitches in public. I was also regularly called a fag by one of the guys in the Army because I used facial moisturizer and conditioner for my hair. He was one of the "don't tell" people in the Army who did his job well. I wish I could remember his name. I still need to get him back for tackling me in a touch football game.
I think Chuckles my freshmen year at Iowa was the first who I regularly called fag. Most of the time it was because he was talking about his newest crush or sexual escapade though. I often called my roommate Brian a whore for the same reason.
I just wonder if Guillen would be comfortable with going someone talking about his Venezuelan heritage in derogatory terms. After all, in some parts of this country, it is perfectly acceptable to talk about people who are different in those terms.
