Do you not remember the old school days? The kid who isn't athletic, maybe small in stature, the brainiac who just doesn't fit in? The kid who is awful at sports and is the reason the team lost? The kid who got called fag? It had nothing to do with camaraderie. And the kids who prefer flowers to football? Fags. 
The suggestion that the word is a gesture of camaraderie is absurd. 
"You can do better"? Does that mean "I want my son to be a fag?"
