English language media and the mexican FA says its a homophobic slur. Buuuut spanish media says it more just means "bitch." Anyone here know if its actually a slur used against queer people? Preferably a Mexican comrade. Whats the deeaaalll

    I don't disagree with you in general, but it really doesn't have the same weight as f-- did 10 years ago imo. I can think of at least 2 words that are exactly gay slurs.

    I'll talk to my mex comrades and see what they think. I'm from a latam and have lived in majority mex communities for a long time now, but it's not exactly the same as being from mex.

    But I guess to answer OPs question, there's other words that are used when trying to be homophobic. Puto is problematic but it's not precisely and exclusively homophobic, if it has to go then we'll take up that struggle, but (and perhaps it is) it should be led by the mex lgbtq community and not FIFA or whatever.
