   No, I'm not insulted at all, Leslie.  A gay man might be insulted, but I'm   
   not a gay man; for that matter, I'm not a man at all.  But you already knew   
   that.  If you choose to use language that you believe to be offensive   
   and/or insulting, that's your prerogative and your problem, but the   
   feelings of the people you are attempting to insult are their own, and you   
   do not own them.

   Not at all; it is a common term for homosexuals, and part of the vernacular.   
      
   But as I said, it's OK to be gay.  So come out of your closet, Leslie, and   
   acknowledge your homosexuality.  There's no reason to repress it; there   
   never has been.
