When I lived in Dallas, a lot (!) of people would make homophobic remarks in my presence. It became evident after a while that at least some of the people my age were unaware that people might be offended, so I spoke up. Just kind of pointed out to them that I don't appreciate that kind of humor and that I have a lot of gay friends, etc. It actually was usually a productive thing to do and (I think) led some people to think further about what they were saying and why. Of course some people just assumed I was gay, which was okay too since that sort of thing doesn't bother me. I never had the conversation with the partner who was completely un-PC, because I knew it wouldn't make a difference. What with his "christian" ideals.

And the gays would be thrilled to have such a pretty lady to sleep with.
