D.L Hughley in trouble over Imus remarks

i dont really care too much about Isaiah Washington either, but that word he used is considered offensive to some. hell, i curse like a SAILOR sometimes, but you will never ever hear me use the "f" word for a homosexual male. i feel it is disgusting and disrepectful.

at the same time, i know gay men who dont care about the f word. kinda like how some black people dont care about the n word...

Yep.

Just like "queer" has become an accepted term in many segments of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and questioning community. That doesn't mean that anyone else should use it.

U know...I was listening to ESPN one day after the whole thing went down....one of teh commentators said something that went like (and I am paraphrasing)there are many homosexuals that make a double standard to certain things and even though they may be accepting of a lot of things they cant vacillate. For instance, there are many who find the word 'queer' very offensive almost as much as the N word. YET....there is a show called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and he stated..."you can't have it both ways"
