If I had to define a man, I’d say it was someone who has been called faggot. Of course, on the surface, this is an absurd statement, though I have been applauding myself on it for months now. First of all: not everyone has been called a faggot is a man! I’m not a man, and I’ve been called it more than once. Secondly: how can I be SURE SURE SURE that every person out there who is a man has been called a faggot? And of course there is the nuance in being called a faggot when you are not one and when you are one? And what about a man who is a faggot and what about people who are faggots all their own, no manhood involved?
