I totally call bull***** on this. It's not all equally hateful. For example, if you were walking down the sidewalk and you accidentally bumped the shoulder of the person walking in the opposite direction, and he said loudly, "watch it, you honkey!" would you be offended? Probably not. What if he said "watch it, you b*tt-f**king f@ggot pansy a$$?" I don't know about you, but that would piss me the heck off. I would quickly think about stupid thugs like him who probably make a sport of taunting gays and who has probably beaten them up too. Gays are minorities too. And we all know that Rosie can get her boxer shorts all up in a bunch when she smells something anti-gay in the air, e.g., the whole Kelly Ripa-Clay Aiken affair. "rolleyes:

It's not all the same.
