My problem isn't when someone calls a black person a "nigger" or a gay person a "faggot", it's when people use those terms to describe random things, which is purely an insult.
I don't care at all if Graham Norton calls himself a "fag". I really don't. It's when people call someone who fell off of their bicycle a "fag." THAT'S when I get pissed off. It's not because of the specific words, because calling that kid who fell off of a bicycle "gay" still does the same thing.
