    Reclaiming a slur to describe oneself is a very, very different matter from using it to insult others.

      i dont always use it to insult others, and nothing would stop me from using the f slur with my friend group either, gay or not.

      You could make the argument that it is offensive to use the word, but that’s kind of the point. (not to any specific group of people though)
