I'm certain those terms are antiquated, but they are the ones I feel comfortable using. I'm certainly not going to suddenly start calling my gay friends, coworkers, and family "fags". It's just not going to ever happen. In my opinion, it's a misstep to repurpose those words in a positive way. Like I said, it didn't work for the black community...
