Howard Stern on the Word 'Fag'

"I have a tremendous compassion for people who are homosexuals. I feel that they are bullied and abused in our society. And I've put a lot of thought into this - and they take such shit just because they like to be with the same sex. It seems so absurd to me. And there so many people out there who just knock their brains out - the gay people. They just treat them so poorly. It must be a terrible thing to be exposed to that kind of hatred and be hated just because of your sexuality..."

I get 100% of what he says. First time ever I respect Howard Stern

I really have so much respect for Howard Stern....more than I did years ago. He really does stand up for liberal causes and notably for Gays and Lesbians. he really goes out of his way like in this clip to show support for gays and lesbians and he doesn't have to. Especially since a lot of his audience is not exactly gay friendly and are probably big users of the F-word. Thank you Howard, seriously. THANK YOU.

i have no problem with gay ppl but there to sensitive and they cant take a joke you would think if you can take a dick up the ass you could take a joke

The word Fag/Faggot (at least to me and everyone i know) is more of just like saying fuck you, it's not really used as a word to insult homosexual's.. Older generations don't know fuck all about the younger demographic and to what i see don't really care to learn. it's not 1981 anymore.....

As a gay male, I respect howard a lot more now after hearing this. He's an icon and a bright guy and I'm glad there's someone else in the world (not gay) who understands the shit we go through for just being ourselves.

@tttwas0910 Begone moron!! You have proven yourself to be Illiterate, homophobic and quite possibly one of the stupidest people I have encountered here! Maybe you should stick to spelling "you are" instead of constantly making the same mistake. Dont forget to wave the flag and hide behind the Constitution whenever you feel like making insensitive remarks. I would like to say its been interesting but, you bring nothing to the table but your ignorance. Good luck next semester you fucking asshole:)

[tttwas0910]

@bundcan Thats funny hahahaha because throughout this conversation it seems like you're the one with all of the name calling hah and you're calling me a tough guy. Thats really rich man thats laughable. I just want my question answered are you a faggot, is that why your offended with the word being used. Lol i love how you're so consumed with me you go on my page check out my history it's cute man, sends off stalker signals but cute. But hey since you wont answer a simple question im done here.

[bundcan]

@tttwas0910 Wow! Its funny that an idiot like you is correcting me. Look at YOUR past posts and do YOUR corrections. I notice from your history that YOURE a UFC fan. Tell me something. Are you one of those fake tough guys who walks around in a Tapout shirt announcing to the world that YOURE a brawler? Im sure that you are.Just another internet tough guy. Wouldnt make a peep against anyone in the real world.I should probably let you go fucktard, YOUR manager said the onion rings are burning!

[tttwas0910]

@bundcan You still haven't answered the question, why are you mad, are you a faggot? And Mr. Grammar it's spelled you're and you space after the period. But answer the question, why are you mad are you a faggot? Simple question requiring simple answer.

[bundcan]

@tttwas0910 and theres the simple-minded troll I knew was lurking within.I guess they gave up trying to teach grammar and context to fucktards like you at the "college" you went to.How sad that when backed into a corner, stupid people like you go for the only comeback theyre capable of giving. Mommy must be so proud of her retarded little miracle.Its such a shame that youre unable to support yourself and have to rely on parents who are surely as dopey as you.Poor, poor little fucktard moron!

[tttwas0910]

@bundcan Ok faggot.............

[bundcan]

@tttwas0910 It never ceases to amaze me how trolls like you feel the need to state their qualifications to complete strangers. I never asked for your resume asshole.Since you brought it up though I feel compelled to advise your parents to get a refund from whatever junior college you went to.You clearly have a limited ability to spell correctly .Check your work before you post fucktard.While it is your right to use whatever words you choose, it doesnt make it right.Grow up douchebag,
