You do realize that the word 'fag' comes from the Old English word 'fagot'...which was a bundle of sticks bound together to be burned for kindling. Much like they tied together and burned alive women and homosexuals during the good old middle ages.

Yes... and it appears in books written by my favorite author J.R.R. Tolkien with that very meaning, and it is also a British meatball... but that word like many others has been hijacked, and only turned into one of abject hate in the early 1900's. Any other use of the term earlier as tied to the burning of heretics is a pure urban legend, and it says so in the dictionary definition.
