Maybe in a perfect world -- which this one ain't.

A lot of people are offended by this usage -- not just homosexuals -- and I think everyone knows it. If you want to argue semantics, I think you'd better pick an easier situation.

I'm certainly not a trend setter, but if I question the use of the word, I suspect our gay (don't play games, you know what I mean) friends, brothers and sisters have a right to be offended in my opinion.

I still seem to be breathing, so we aren't living in a vacuum here. Let's be considerate of how our words affect others.
