"Calling someone queer isn’t a slur; it is neither illegal nor frowned upon by society these days. It’s no worse than calling someone straight."

Context, bozo. If an opponent yells at me that I'm an "angry lesbian" on the field, that's a homophobic slur. Even though I *am* an angry lesbian.

This is amazingly similar to the guy on the other field who were adamant that because people with dark skin call each other the N-word jocularly, then it can't possibly be a racial slur.

Can we set this "what *is* a slur, anyway?" guy up with the guy in the other thread who said that if your skin's dark enough you can call people the N-word with impunity?
