Hey, look at the bright side: it can be a no.1 hit all over again due to the publicity!
Maybe if he was saying homosexual, it would have been OK. Too bad it was too big to fit...
The interesting thing is that a Greek joke is based on he faggot-homosexual-gay difference, with a twist at the money.It goes something like this:
A young man returns to his home - village, and announces to his family, that he is a homosexual and that he is going to stay with his lover at the village. It is a hard thing to swallow, with all these old time ethics, that are common in small villages, but at last the father sees no other way but to prepare the public opinion of the village at the cafenio (like an english pub, sort of speak, serving mostly coffee, and it is the center of the man community, at least at small villages).
"You know we are happy to have our son back, after so long. He's been in the city and he has learned a lot of things, expanded his mind with liberating knowledge. He is actually gay, now, and he is going to live with his friend here."
A younger man, sailor by occupation, had traveled around the world many times he asks:
"Is your son rich?"
"no"
"is his lover rich?"
"No, as far as i know"
"Well then, he is no gay, he is a faggot"
I have no problem with people, no matter their sexual, religious or philosophical orientation, and i believe that whoever does this kind of protest, usually does it for publicity and not because they fear or are offended by something. Well, let's not give them this pleasure.
