Hypocrisy, double standard, speaking with forked tongue.  Rot.

It's good rant material. However, my approach to language is simple, if I know people are going to get offended by a certain word, I try and not use it casually. When gay people use these terms, it is usually in friendship and camaraderie. When someone is using these words as a way to insult or intimidate, it's a different story (this definitely was not your intent). Using the terms casually you will run the risk of insulting people. This shouldn't suprise you. The best approach is use a less "provocative" term, especially since it'll get your meaning across just as well.

You make a good point. People should be careful how they throw labels around casually. You never know who you might offend.
Signature? What do you mean?
