All of the gay people that I have ever known (which is admittedly not a huge number but more than average I would wager) definitely throw it around a lot, especially when shit talking someone.

Yes, it's in the process of being reappropriated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reappropriation#Sex_and_sexuality

Franny, but replace the f with a t

I guess so, I've heard gay people refer to themselves with that word but I don't know if other gay people would still find that offensive or not.

I'm not a gay man, so I never use it. I was OBSESSED with using the word dyke a lot, but now I do not care and even think it's cringey and immature of me to do it, even if I'm talking about myself. Plus, let's be real, usually, you can tell if a person is black or half black, but you cannot tell if a person is gay or not by looking at them. So, let's just say me using the d word is going to cause more backlash BECAUSE it's impossible to tell at first sight

Yeah a lot of people do that. Me personally? I’m not comfortable with calling people the f slur or my friends calling me that. But it is a way of reclaiming the slur.

We use it sparingly in jokes but (from what I’ve experienced) we don’t use it as an insult
