Matt Damon's Daughter Got Him To Stop Using 'F-Slur' For LGBTQ+ People

, Damon was discussing “changes in modern masculinity” when he launched into a weird story, seemingly out of nowhere, about how he stopped using the “f-slur” to refer to LGBTQ+ people.

“I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter,” Damon said. “She left the table. I said, ‘Come on, that’s a joke! I say it in the movie Stuck on You!’ She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous. I said, ‘I retire the f-slur!’ I understood.”Stuck on You, isn’t really relevant to anything, especially whether it’s OK to refer to a marginalized group of people by a dehumanizing slur.

Damon also said that word “was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application.” Which, no it wasn’t. It was still a slur, it was just more commonly used as an insult because homophobia wasn’t something that got you canceled 40 years ago. Luckily for everyone in the entire world except Matt Damon, homophobia willImagine this headline about any other derogatory ethnic/racial/religious etc slur being used in 2021. People would be up in arms and rightfully so.

I don't know about this. I don't trust TMZ. This is the other side of the story:
