I mean,

fig = offensive
homo = offensive
dyke = offensive
queer = acceptable

It's even a part of their acronym soup. Who makes these decisions?

Similar issue, but the latest transgressor is now a member of the Saints. Kudos to them for ignoring this "words hurt" game.

Because the gay community has endeavored to reclaim the word. They have made no such effort with the word fig.

Isn't a queer, by their definition, someone who is mostly straight, but if the right person of their same sex came along, they'd go for it?

Because "Smear the Homosexual" doesn't have the same ring.
