Many white Christians find gays offensive as well -- I don't care what they find offensive, them being offended doesn't give them rights.

If the talk referenced "My Two Dads" -- they would be welcome to be offended, and leave.

I am not homosexual and I don't find gays offensive. Nonetheless, I would be incredibly disturbed to be hearing about "homosexual haskell" or "faggot functions". It's not appropriate in a tech conference, regardless of your sexual orientation or opinion about sexual orientation.

What about "My Two Dads -- Redundancy Works" -- Subline "Erlang redundant processes and safety"

Regardless of the level of offense, 'Dad' isn't a natural word to use in that context (I've never heard anyone use the word 'dad' when discussing redundancy). 'Master' would be much more appropriate.
