I have an aunt that is mentally retarded but she hears people being called gay and retarded all the time and she doesn't care. IMHO you are to sensitive. You need to distiguish how they are using the word "retarded" or "gay" in a sentence. My aunt calls me retarded all the time and I don't get upset because she jokes around. Some people just dont know how to have fun...
