Brian, Good to hear that there was actually a complaint (in which case I completely agree with your actions). But, I disagree that there is no way in which slurs can be used in non-offensive ways. Many people in targeted groups have re-appropriated such terms and use them as a way to empower

some people are just close minded bigots or trying to make themselves believe they arent themselves gay! But that is pretty funny in a sad way that someone so much of a bigot would take a job at a LGBT site. Guess money is more important, or else he just wanted to be able to pick on people who

Hey Brian, I'm disheartened to hear about all the private email you've gotten from people telling to f**k off. But, it doesn't entirely shock me. One thing I would question about your account, though, was what was the lesbian's take on the situation? I've had a number of work friends with whom
