<<The PC crowd has not only equated queer (and now gay) with Nazi, they believe it's a far worse term.>> This is ridiculous. I don't know how i can make my point any more clearly than i did in the previous post. When you call someone a Nazi as a pejorative the implication that there's something wrong with being a Nazi. (Especially when the person is not an actual Nazi.) The same applies when using some form of gay as an epithet. It's an insult to gays and it's offensive. If you ( and J. Pilch) don't find using gay as an epithet offensive, what about Jew? Why not call someone a Jew to insult them? What would be the difference? I don't care if SI suspends JLA or not. I just can't believe none of you took offense at what he said. Steve
