Words, phrases, and expressions that have historically been PC are no longer acceptable, depending on whom you’re speaking to. Some people think we’re in a language revolution, aggressively ridding the earth of hurtful words and phrases for the betterment of mankind.

When I was a teenager, there were a few boys at my high school who ridiculed me, almost everyday. When I walked by them in the halls, they called me a “faggot” or screamed my identify in a flamboyant tone. I learned to amble by without showing any reaction; I could not let them know that it bothered me, or else I would be proving to them that I was indeed gay.
