Damon admitted that he only recently stopped using the “the f-slur for a homosexual” after his daughter wrote a “treatise” on why using the word to refer to people, gay or otherwise, is unacceptable.
The Boston-born leading man said the “f-slur for a homosexual” was “commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application.”Damon was the target of many memes as well as pointed criticism as many people online questioned both why he decided to share this information — and also why he was still using such a derogatory term in 2021.Openly gay comedian Billy Eichner joked that he wants to know which word Damon is using now instead of the f-slur.
