You're preaching to the converted. I still think it's worthy of a discussion.

It is essentially the "N" word for gay people. "Pu**y" isn't a comparable. There aren't a whole lot of comparables that don't relate directly to race, other than arguably some antisemitic slurs (arguably because those are kind of race-related as well).

Well p***y still refers to a group (gender) that's been discriminated against, isn't that why the n word and f****t are bad? Shouldn't they all be eliminated based on that logic?
The whole point of trashtalking is to insult the player. Obviously this whole ordeal is a PR thing but why should some random gay person get upset if two people on the steet are fighting and a string of expletives are yelled that happens to include f****t? Does this actually really offend gay people more than others?
Maybe you don't want potentially gay teammates getting caught in the crossfire but to me calling someone gay has a different meaning than actually being homosexual.
