I have a gay uncle whom I'm very close to and I'm not sensitive to the use of "gay" or "fag" or what have you.
I too am against being politically correct. In every way. I think people in general have grown far too sensitive. They're just words. I mean, you may disagree, but there is most definitely a difference in calling someone/thing "gay" in a lighthearted manner and hatefully referring to an effeminate as a "faggot". Now that I take offense to.
And that's pretty much my stance on all of the above listed words. It is most definitely all about context, IMHO.
