re: When will gay jokes from student hecklers become unacceptable?

Who are you to say how one group of people takes offensive speech directed towards them? Like you said racism(or sexism or intellectual capacity) is just racism it doesn't make one word worse than the others because words change in their meaning all the time. Case in point the word retard.

I disagree. Words are wind. People give words power and meaning and people of every ethnicity are usually awful towards each other.
