I'm saying that your claim that 'gay' and 'faggot' are used as insults BECAUSE they are slang for homosexual is a bit ridiculous

Even if you don't use the word with the intent of implying anything derogatory, you can't just ignore what it implies.
'I couldn't say' but you are such an expert on 'fag' and 'gay'!

But it doesn't make it homophobic/racist.
