But gay as a general pejorative exists even as it exists as a neutral. Intent is the key. I may or may not be entirety straight so if I say faggot even as a joke the intent is unclear. Nigga/nigger breaks along context lines too. You get this ongoing dialogue with no answer unless people understand the underlying issue and people would rather just be assholesThe line I draw is whether the word is still used as a slur.
