Yes, I find it a hateful word, a word meant to harm, even destroy. I understand the prophylatic use of the word, in a sense trying to steal the word from the bigots and drain the word of its violent content. Nonetheless, for me, using the word is buying into the hatred, a kind of self-loathing, an internalized homophobia.
