I don't think it is hate speech and i never said it was hate speech rabbit. As far as i can tell you were the one who brought that pretty little phrase up. So quit "stifling the productive discussion"!
I said it was offensive. Just because none of you are offended doesn't mean that something is automatically inoffensive or not worthy of offense or that people who are offended are overly sensitive.
These shirts seem to be have the message that The U of M are a bunch of fags. Not hate speech, but how could you possibly say that that shouldn't be considered offensive?
These shirts only serve to perpetuate the connection between homosexuality and derision. It's childish. How many of you straight people use "fag" as a casual insult? How many of you white people use "nigger" as a casual insult?
These shirts are the definition of inconsiderate childishness.
