i've got to admit i've used the term "gay" to mean other things...and i know it's not PC.....but....come on....words are just words.

It doesn't offend me or anything: I'm not gay, and I'm sure most gay people have thick enough skins with all the BS they put up with. But I still think the negative use of words like 'gay' and 'fag' contributes to a subconscious fear and hatred of homosexuals.

Words are only words, but they still shape our worldview: if you associate 'gay' with 'bad' enough times, it's going to effect your opinions. None of us are immune to that kind of pattern strengthening.

I totally agree. I wouldn't like it if people started using "left-handed" to mean "bad". Even if they didn't actually have any problem with left-handed people, that connection is still being made.
