It's not just MY doctrine, it can be OUR doctrine

I do find the whole "own the word" thing odd. In both contexts. But I'm not really in the mood for that discussion again. I will say that most (all?) of my gay friends do not throw around "fag" that way. And some of them are really offended by the use of that word. And of "fag hag", which I find generally unoffensive if used to describe me, but I've never been persecuted for having gay friends. But I'm not surprised to hear that there are gay people who do use "fag" regularly.
Another analogous situation is the use of the word "cunt". I'd never use it to describe myself or anyone else. But there are feminists (and maybe just some crazy beotches) who throw it around in the same way that "fag" and the n word are thrown around within those communities. Would they stop by to participate in a chat board community where a bunch of male posters were jokingly calling each other "cunts"? Maybe long enough to flame them all. But I doubt they'd look upon the use fondly.
You all are making me feel very serious today. Quick - someone call me a cunt.

You're a cunt.
(I admit it. I read nothing but the last sentence of your post.)
