I do not mind using this word as well, on the condition that there is no hatred behind it. I live in country where homophobia is commonplace. Even ex-president (laureat of peace Noble prize) was arrogant enough to say that homosexual community parade should have taken place on the outskirts of the city since homosexuals are minority. When it comes to the word that using it strikes me is faggot. If someone uses it makes mee fell about the person using it as a hompphobe. But just like you said there are a lot of people who are very sensitive to even gay word and I am only guessing that straight people are more sensitive to this words than homosexual-ones. Ad I totally agree with you. I do not mind using this word as well, on the condition that there is no hatred behind it.

Extremism of ANY type can ONLY lead to negative outcomes for all. Even religion in extreme has proven historically to kill masses of innocents. When I read the 84 comments, except for Erics more practical and positive approach, I saw primarily extremism.

Often the "hetero" people can be the ones who are even more offended and sensitive for some reason. It really depends on the context and who you are speaking to. Thanks for the comments guys,
