:If you are refering to the two I alluded to in my second response above (they both begin with F), then my answer is no, I will not include that. We are not here to propagate the use of offensive slurs. Offensive name-calling only spreads hate and closes the very doors that could be open to well-reasoned arguments and facts. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 20:09, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

::The list of 'innocent words' appropriated as anti-homosexual slurs is longer than the list of 'innocent words' appropriated by homosexuals. It is possible to acknowledge this without explicitly listing every, or even any, individual slur.--[[User:Brossa|Brossa]] 21:06, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

==Stonewall==
Bugler has a good suggestion that I forgot about: Stonewall. HelpJazz, this is more than a British pro-homosexual organization (which I incidentally did not know about). It was the name of a prominent gay night club which operated outside the law in New York City (and had a history of bribing the police, as well as numerous mafia connections). When its unlawful operations were finally shut down by the city, the homosexuals rioted against the police and regular citizens. Many historians cite this as the unfortunate moment when the gay agenda entered the public spotlight. Now why they chose this name, which was associated with one of our greatest generals, is suspect... -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 15:25, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
