Fagot is a bundle of sticks bound together, however, FaGGot is a homophobic derogatory term.
So it depends on Capitalisation? that's weird. Kinda like LaTeX

Just the double 'gg' or singular 'g'.
I would consider that a swear word, I'm surprised that so many don't. It is more offensive than several other words I can think of that are typical 'swears'.

Not a swear word as such but highly offensive. I would put it on par with the N word and the P word.
You don't think someone who uses the n-word is swearing?

He lived down the road from me; didn't he drown a gay lad in his pool after coming out or something?
Ask him for a swim.

How incredibly funny you are. Try stand-up, seriously.
I thought it was? Erm... 
I was told it was "something"-maggot. :/
That's pretty rude...

No I don't think it's a swear word. I think it's a highly offensive racist term.
I think swear words are the traditional ones like the one that rhymes with duck, and the one that rhymes with kit.

I wasn't trying to be funny... It's a nice day and a man down the road from you has a swimming pool. Be good for you to cool off.

You're hilarious. He doesn't even live in Britain anymore for one. For two, your idea of a joke is mediocre and uncanny.
swear word
noun
1. an offensive word, used especially as an expression of anger.
i just looked it up
but yeah, it's more offensive than most so i'd consider it a swear word.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. Swear words, like all language, develops and changes all the time - there's no tradition to them. The 'swears' are just the most offensive ones at that time and I certainly think its far more offensive to call someone something very racist or homophobic than to use the 'one that rhymes with duck'.
It depends on the context, if you say it to a friend and you don't mean for it to be offensive then no, it is just banter.
However if you call a gay person a faggot in an aggressive way it will be taken as offensive.
It isn't a swear word but you really shouldn't use it out of context.

1. What is your source?
2. I am not joking. I am not laughing and nor are you.
