Free Speech correct? Then it's fine to use the word "Nigg*r", "Wetb*ck", & "P*ki" as insults? I see no difference there.

Those terms were created specifically as insults against those groups of people. Gay and fag used to not have anything to do with homosexuals until they decided to change their meaning, so why should they get mad when we decide to change their meaning once again? Fun fact: did you know that Pakistan is actually a portmanteau of the different regions that make it up - Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Balochistan?

I use whatever word I want. If someone doesn't like it, they can kiss my ass.

yeah I guess it's easy to not give a shit about what people think of the language you use when you're anonymous, right?

For me, it depends on what context you use. "That is so gay," meaning stupid, is offensive because that is not the true definition. Saying someone is gay, meaning homosexual, is okay, because that is the accepted definition.

It meant happy first, then it meant homosexual, now it can mean stupid. Probably when the meaning changed the first time, there were plenty of happy people out there who were quite offended. You just can't please everyone!

In general, though, gay meaning homosexual is more accepted than gay meaning stupid. FOR NOW.

It isn't okay to use those words offensively when talking to someone.

You have the right to say whatever you want. And they have the right to bitch at you.

If you believe in freedom of speech, you should also understand they have the right to bitch about it, since that's also freedom of speech.
