At the risk of becoming too anti-casual, anti-gay slurs were so common in the US up until the mid/late 90s, if you weren't there for it you just have no idea. One of the Bill and Ted movies (I think the first one?) just randomly dropping it in there as a joke, where the slur is the joke, is a good example of just how it was then. There's still bigotry but it's not as casual and pervasive.
a lot of media used the F slur well into the 2000s. it's pretty shocking to watch nowdays
Eminem has a song where he casually drops an F bomb.
He dropped like a thousand of them. He was using it regularly until sometime in the 2010s.
Eminem is weird cause he leans left but will use any word— save for n word and now f— as long as it rhymes or fits the scheme, then does nearly nothing else offensive. It’s like words are exempt from his morality.
the marshall mathers lp alone has like 4 tracks where he does
And yet his first major song endorses gay marriage.
As does Tyler, The Creator, a decade later.
Can gay men not use that word?
In context, it's an insult.
Policing a gay man on this is odd
It's weird watching average sitcoms from then because of this. The more popular ones are sometimes better but even Seinfeld wasn't great with it.
