::::I am not being a princess I am offended because you are defending the use of something that to be brutally honest has as it's principal meaning "sodomite".  It's as bad as a racial slur. One has to consider not only what a word or sentence means to them, but must also consider what that means to others.  I made it clear over and again that it's meaning is offensive.  The most respected dictionary in the Anglophone world agree's.  Just don't use it towards a person and your arguement holds.  Use it towards a queer person and it's just a very bad insult.
