Words change. Nothing new there and not much one can do to stop it.  But
they don't change in a vacuum.

Don't you find it the least bit indicative of our culture that almost every
word used to indicate homosexuality or homosexuals has rapidly evolved a
pejorative sense which seems to be used with greater frequency than the
prior sense (not to mention the slurs invented specifically for the purpose
of offense)?  Gays are hardly the first group to see their identifying names
and characteristics turned into slurs and they won't be the last.  That
doesn't mean they have to like it or that it's a completely meaningless and
disconnected phenomenon.

And getting offended when other people get offended by your offense which
was intended to offend someone else... sorry, that gets too loopy for me to
follow.
