 a contraction for "fagot":

 bundle of sticks

I have to say at first, I wasn't sure whether to laugh at this or take you
seriously.  Part of me still isn't.  Do you REALLY--be honest now--think that
this is what people have in mind when they call people "fag?"  If so, can I
trust that you and the other pro-"fag" people will start using the term to
refer to ALL sinners?  Perhaps as we're going door-to-door, we should tell
people, "Did you know you're a fag in need of salvation?"
