Well its a learning lesson then to un-train that instinct to call someone that. I grew up in the 90's and we said it as a general semi-insult without meaning to convey anything about a person's sexuality, but obviously times change. As a 13 year old, I could get away with that explanation, but we are all obviously adults now and should know better. Sorry bro that happened... I would get caught up in the pcness of it too probably for a moment, then realize the ban was just and just eat it.
all of this.
I used to use this word as a kid too. Its considered a hate crime so a ban seems pretty fitting. I would expect a similar punishment from uttering any hate crime phrases. Its considered a hate crime because it is dehumanizing to people that fit the criteria, dehumanizing anyone for any reason cannot be justified so learn from it and grow.
