One thing that has been on my mind throughout this course is how politically incorrect words are used to classify or put down a person for being who they are. Just like what josh said in his post, saying "fag" was not meant to offend anyone but the truth is, it does. Today, for some of my friends I hear them say "that's gay" quite frequently and it has become a habit that they don't even consciously think about. I believe that more people are understanding how hurtful it can be to say those words that offend the LGBT community. This should not take priority to other insulting words like fat, ugly, stupid etc.
