Look, there was no harm or hatred behind that gag. I'm bi, I wasn't offended it by all. I have been faced with a lot of homophobia, in school, in relationships, and in the media. Yeah, the word fag hurts when used in a harmful way. When that gag took place in Clerks, I was cracking up, I thought it was the single best part of that episode. The show did not deserve to die because of it, cleverness should be rewarded, not punished.
