Slurs


The words “gay” and “retarded” are commonly used when people are referring to someone or something that is stupid or idiotic. These words have a made a huge departure from their original and intended meanings. I’ve written about the slur “retard” before. My friend, Pam, provided me with this NPR link, which is worth checking out. Thanks, Pam.
