I had a flamingly gay friend who would call things gay as negative. When other gay people would question her about it, she'd reply "It's prison gay. Not two girls in a hot-tub gay."

At some time though you need to realise people donŠt mean it in the way you take offense to it and you are just being overly sensitive to it because they take it so personal.
Not to put too fine a point on it but my having a thick skin has nothing to do with the acceptability of your sexist or homophobic comments.
In fact, I'm quite sure that if we were talking about racism here the response would be much, much different. Or can we start calling nano pilots Nano N-----s now?

On the flip side I could get all upset about the fact that there are around a dozen of ways to insult a guy by using various words for the female genitals. Does that mean that being female is insulting by default? I think one can both, take it too far with the insults but also take oneself too serious.

I would never describe or even think of myself as a heterosexual gamer, any more than I would self-identify as a conservative or liberal gamer, a white or black gamer, a christian gamer or anything else. EU timezone is as much personal information as anyone gets in my CV. Hyphenating oneself, sticking in an adjective or attributive noun is a political act, it is usually telling, and inevitably one must question the motivation behind it. I would certainly wonder whether any individual asserting him or herself in that manner is a tourist or troll looking for conflict. Unfortunately given the anonymity of the internet, for every handful of people cool about themselves, there is someone nursing a persecution complex or trolling for controversy. Having moderated a forum or two, my impression is the writer of that article comes across as fitting the bill.
