Press priorities.

Give me a break! Benedict Cumberbatch innocently misuses the word "colored" and he has to apologize to the world. But many news outlets, even television programs use the word "queer" which I,
as a gay man, and millions of others consider insulting and utterly inappropriate. Even some gay organizations have the gall to take it upon themselves to apply that word as synonymous with gay for whatever masochistic reasons they may have. Why the hell would any group want to be identified by an appellation that was used for decades to debase and attack them? They wouldn't. The N word is disgusting. The Q word is just as disgusting. And anyone who thinks it's appropriate is very much mistaken.
