    Retarded means something is stupid, gay means something is silly. I don't happen to think mentally challenged people are stupid nor do I think gay people are silly. Words don't always mean the same thing to all people and sometimes they don't have a meaning, but a feeling. For instance someone might say "that's a bitch" and in that case they are talking about a tough situation or something going wrong, they are not talking about a woman. It has a totally different meaning. Now my words are not as accepted in polite society, because of the way they are taken, as bitch is , so I don't use them in public.

    Why not just empathize with the people who find them offensive and stop using them entirely?

    Do you not think stupid people are mentally challenged?

    In my own home?
    Ok, those of you who have a problem with me, never say the word bitch again, in any way.

    What does that have to do with anything? (n0) But I do have some great gay friends and relatives, is that good?

    She just wants to say “retarded” and not be considered a bad person. Is that too much to ask?
