On `www.godhatesfags.com' we read the exciting news
that PhelpsCo will soon be picketing in the land
of Leonardo Da Vinci and Galileo -- or, as they
put it, the "Land of Fag Pink Triangles &
Child-Molesters" -- Italy being, of course,
yet something else that "God Hates", because,
of course, "fags run society and the government".

Got to hope they don't encounter an visa
problems.  Particularly on the way back.

If there ever were a pack of terrorists it's those loons. It will be
interesting to see the reception they get over there.

If anyone in the Italian gov't has already heard of Phelps' Whelps,
they'll *never* make it in.

I wonder why they picked Italy. I had always thought southern Europe
was the "conservative" (small c) part.

Please don't give them any ideas of coming to northern Europe, the UK in
particular.
We don't want the expense of a trial for "Behaviour liable to cause a breach
of the peace", their prison stay and deportation.

They would have to change their language too, as "God hates fags" translates
to "God hates cigarettes" and "God hates faggots" translates to "God hates a
foodstuff made from minced pork offal" here. I tend to agree with the last
sentiment, as I also hate that foodstuff.

I can see it now. They arrive into Heathrow, struggle through baggage
reclaim, go outside, and the first advert they is ...

"Eat Brain's faggots" It would freak them out, totally.

Heathrow baggage reclaim is enough to freak most people on its own.

The only support that they might expect here would come from the more
extreme elements of the Muslim community. I wonder how that would go
down with the Rev. Fred.

ROTFL.

That's a good idea.
Maybe they'd turn right round and catch the next flight back to the US,
muttering to themselves "England is beyond redemption".

Hey, how about if we over here pass the hat to defray legal expenses?

I bet a lot of congregations of actual Christian would be delighted to
chip in too.

I never heard of that one, either.  I thought minced pork offal was
spam.

"Faggot" is an old word for small sticks and branches; I wonder if
that's the connection to cigarettes?  "Fag" for cigarette dates back at
least to WW I.

And the connection to homosexuals comes from the idea that cigarettes
were effeminate and a women's thing.  Men smoked cigars or pipes. So
any man who smoked a "lady's smoke" was not really all-man.

There are few left, and none with any great amount of money.

SPAM = Spiced Pork and hAM.

Faggots are minced pork offal formed into a ball and sold (usually) in a
gravy.
The best known manufacturer is a company called 'Brain's' although, I
believe, there are others.
See Wiki 'Faggot (Food)' for a better description.

> "Faggot" is an old word for small sticks and branches;

Actually a small bundle of sticks.

> I wonder if

Probably that is the origin of "fag" for a cigarette.

> "Fag" for cigarette dates back at

I believe it dates back further than that.

What's the origin of "faggot/fag", meaning homosexual, in the US?

Yep, the other gray meat.  However, one hopes it contains no offal.

We threw individual sticks on the campfire but still thought of them as
faggots.

>> I wonder if

That's pretty much what I was hinting at.

Yes, "at least to" encompasses the possibility of being older than that.

>What's the origin of "faggot/fag", meaning homosexual, in the US?

No idea.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists it, all the way down
in definition "6b" (faggot has/had LOTS of different
meanings, including "A term of abuse or contempt applied to a woman") --
the OED in definition 6b indeed does describe this usage as
being "chiefly American", and can trace examples back
only to 1914.

I like when rational people confront these loonies. Here's a great
clip from youtube-an Australian comedy show host started flirting with
one of the men:

I'd never heard of the pork dish, and I dated an English girl for
three years. She must not care for it either. <g> She eventually
started calling fags "cigarettes", but always winced when someone
referred to her waistcoat as a "vest"... ;)
