Oh well, I'm norwegian. I am indifferent to such nuances, I don't 
get the difference :). I think "gay people" in norwegian could be 
offensive too depending on how you phrase it, it could mark 
distance as in "those gay people that are not like us".

I've always just assumed that when Kathy Griffin can yell "ALL MY 
GAYS!" from a stage to applause then it is what one are supposed 
to say.

My position is that you cannot assume that you can move from 
there to the average analysis for the algorithm as a whole, but 
since this is such a boring topic, let's let it pass and then we 
can discuss it later when you bring me my cookie! :)
