It seems boards.ie have edited out the full word Fag

All the people on here who object to that word being censored should close their Boards accounts in protest.

This is the version BBC Radio 1 will be playing:

Proud bisexual here born in the 70's
Never had an issue with my sexuality or needed to be swinging from the chandler's letting everyone know that I'm a ghey, it wasn't obvious and still isn't... noticeable.

This woke sh1t really pisses off us old school gheys and a lot of us aren't liberals or lefty's were quite conservative apart from a few fruit loops who became professor's or work in social care they're absolute head bangers with the woke culture.

I remember myself and my friend were at pride last year and because we were from the country side the Dubs tried to undermine us, the guy with me is quite butch too and he called them a bunch of femme whatevers...
They got into all this woke, liberal lefty bllsh17

I'm an old school ghey/poof/bender/shirtlifter/queer/arse bandit/ fag/ uphill Gardener...

I'm sick of people undermining the gay community by using our sexuality to get rid of a song/book/movie/art/songs and many more things that I and my fag friends are meant to be offended for the sake of other people telling us how to ****ing live in society and we should be sensitive or SJW woke liberal etc .

Well as a man who likes sleeping with men, I say **** this woke ****e, we've had enough of our sexuality being used by liberals and SJWs to justify their wokebess..

There's SFA wrong with fairy tale of new York, it's a song, they're words, it's art...

Woke *****

******t or Fag is a viciously offensive word to some people and I wouldnt dismiss them as "snowflakes" unless you experienced vile abuse because of your sexuality: A friend of mine who was gay was constantly bullied at school and called that word day in day out it was even written on his jacket by bullies and he ended up taking his own life. He was gay.

Of course it's an offensive term. In the big, bad world people sometimes use offensive terms and we cannot censor their use out of existence or sanitize art to avoid offending anyone's delicate sensibilities.

“The word was used by the character because it fitted with the way she would speak and with her character. She is not supposed to be a nice person, or even a wholesome person. She is a woman of a certain generation at a certain time in history, and she is down on her luck and desperate. Her dialogue is as accurate as I could make it, but she is not intended to offend. She is just supposed to be an authentic character, and not all characters in songs and stories are angels or even decent and respectable. Sometimes characters in songs and stories have to be evil or nasty in order to tell the story effectively.”
