Teletubby 117,774 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Actor Matt Damon has insisted he has never used a gay slur "in my personal life" after being criticised for saying he'd only recently "retired" the word. He told The Sunday Times his daughter had rebuked him for using what she called the "f-slur for a homosexual" in a joke "months ago". In a follow-up statement, Matt Damon stressed that he had never used the insult against anyone off screen. "This conversation with my daughter was not a personal awakening," he said. "I do not use slurs of any kind." "To be as clear as I can be, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community" source Damonâs statement to Variety source Damon sparked anger for the original interview, in which he told an anecdote suggesting he had used the word until recently.  I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like how people sing slurs in songs but wouldn't use them personally in conversation. Not saying the joke/indirect usage is okay tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agunimon 20,249 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Further elaboration only leads to more outrage. Don't say anything at all in these instances. Especially when unprovoked for the source comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
