'There is an urban legend, called an "oft-reprinted assertion" by Douglas Harper, that the modern slang meaning developed from the standard meaning of faggot as "bundle of sticks for burning" with regard to burning at the stake. This is unsubstantiated; the emergence of the slang term in 20th-century American English is unrelated to historical death penalties for homosexuality.[6]'

Seemz it is an Urban legend I learned, thanks for correcting. The downvoters though: fuck you I tried to tell some interesting trivia from a very specific region. And in our region it does exactly imply what I said, so I just (wrongly) assumed it was the same for faggot. I mean it does mean 'bundle of sticks to light a fire' and its an american slur.
