This whole discussion kind of proves her point. Everyone's so caught up with the word 'faggot' that they forgot to listen to the words surrounding it. To me she was making a point about how stupidly far political correctness has gone. I have gays, both men and women working with me, and they didn't take any offense or objection to it either.

*shrugs* maybe it's just a cultural thing. Aussies sledge each other all the time, in fact some of our most affectionate greetings are derivations of rather horrid insults.
