What utter tosh! Here we go again with the deliberate mis-association between PC and gays as somehow a cause of concern or worry.

Where is your evidence that gay people will be "offended" by the use of these terms?

amen to that. Oops, di I say amen? Sorry to all the atheists! lol!

Oh I see, you get your "evidence" from the Sun "newspaper", which we all know is a paragon of accuracy and truthfulness.

In fact I agree with the kernel of your agrument concerning the excessive nature of PC. However, I'm not one of those who gets all hot and bothered whenever the word 'gay' is mentioned.

Here's a hint - don't believe what you read in the Mail or the Express. You'll start getting paranoid fantasies.

Oops - add the Sun to that!

Don't be scared man, you can say Husbands and Wives as much as you like. The Sun has been trying to persuade Brits that "foreigners are taking over" as long as I can remember. Ignore them - the stress will give you health problems.
