Faggot

Evolution of Execution Throughout history, the use of power has changed and is inhibited by stricter law.

Gender Identity has always been perceived and defined in an unhindered and limited manner. Essentially, gender is in a way an admittance for society to categorise individuals into already existing…

because in the past black communities, especially poor ones did not accept homosexuality in the home. This refusal to accept homosexuals created a negative attitude in the story. Hoey displays this through the usage of derogatory terms like “fag”, “faggot”, and the phrase “he had some sugar in his tank”.

“The Laramie Project” was a movie played by a group of people showing the reaction to the 1998 murder of a gay student in Laramie, Wyoming. The murder was criticized as a hate crime and brought attention to Laramie, Wyoming. The town was well known as a friendly place until Shepard’s death.
