I was at some thing when I was a kid, some sorta....thing. I don't remember. A local youth group perhaps? A party of some sort? I have no idea. Anyway, there was a kid there and his last name was Baggott. Sam Baggott or James Baggott or something. One of my friends said I should go up to him and call him Sam Faggot. I didn't know what the word meant at the time, too young. Anyway, this kid pushed me up against the wall for saying that. I didn't understand why. So I punched him in the face and gave him a nosebleed.
My dad found out what happened and was real mad but he never explained why. I guess the concept of sexual slurs was something that you couldn't really explain to me at that age. Maybe he just told me it was a bad word or something.
