Are you incensed by that subject line? Have you already mentally
called me a bigot before even reading the post?

Actually, in my world "queer" is pretty much in the mainstream. Taking
back the language and all that.

Is that the same world where "chinky" is dastardly bigotry? You sound
like a schizoid Walt Disney wannabe, kiddo.

You sound awfully out of touch with the mainstream gay community.

Try to throw it back on me, eh? Sorry, I don't think that works.
Tell me about chinky, eh? You're so politically correct you stink
with it.

There's a difference between "politically correct" and having a respect
for the power of language.

Yes. And there's also a difference between "politically correct," which
is now looked upon with scorn because many people go wayyy overboard
with it, and having respect for people. Using derogatory words to refer
to anyone based on race, sexual orientation, gender, or anything else,
is disrespectful.

It's really as simple as that.

Another stinking smoker heard from innit.
