Always a good course to take. I'm only saying that the right words at the right time can make a difference. We shouldn't fear words with a bad history if they have a useful place in the present.
They aren't feared, and they aren't useful? Queer for example is still useful since it was embraced and used to define ambiguous or questioning folks. Fag is only useful if you're asking me for a cig or you wanna make some effigies.
