Reasons why this post is stupid:

1. You are tokenizing your friends who are gay.  You are saying that because one lesbian and one gay man appear to find your joke amusing, that makes any kind of statement about your right to say that word.  It doesn’t.
2. You are implying that gay people who dislike hearing the word (like me!) , especially when used by straight people, are somehow less worthy of an opinion than gay people who go along with your joke.
3. Why would you want to use a word that’s used to oppress people?  Why would you want to use a word that people scream as they’re beating people to death?
4. Saying “faggot” isn’t even funny.  Get a new joke.  Be creative.  If you’re that bad at being funny, then give up on trying to be humorous because you have an awful sense of humor.
5. Really you’re not funny.
6. Also you’re an ass.
