It's true. It doesn't make what Louis CK said any less true either, that the word is often used not for talking about gay men.

I don't use that word. I also don't think Louis uses that word except in those jokes. But, again, it doesn't change its colloquial usage whether we want it to be offensive or not.

It's also probably fair to say that Louis uses it in a far more nuanced fashion than your average message board poster. It's not like somebody came up to him after a show and said something to him. He wrote the whole sketch. He's probably the most introspective and thoughtful comic on Earth right now, and when he makes a joke, he's also critiquing societal norms at the same time.
