Natalie Maines wants c**ksucker off the ‘gay slur’ list

Dear LGBT please reconsider taking c•cksucker as a gay slur. That label belongs to a lot of us. You took the rainbow leave us c•cksucker;)

When Alec Baldwin was under fire from the LGBT community for calling a photographer a “cocksucking fag” (or “fathead,” according to his acoustic analysis), he pleaded innocent, saying that he wasn’t aware “cocksucker” was a gay slur until educated on the fact by a member of GLAAD.

Now singer Natalie Maines is angling to have the term back on the “OK to use” list.

@JasonRoach77 I can live with that. Thank you for being reasonable.

@svera9971 It's a joke. Do you honestly think I care that you guys use the rainbow? Laugh at yourself. It's a lot more fun.
