doesn't the "N" word apply here? Only black/african-american people can say it, so Kobe did no wrong.

this is just stupid...non story
fa*= not cool, opposite of the "right thing", weak... etc
so yeah it was in the heat of the moment and it happens all the time but i mean we technically are still looking down on gays when we say it in that context right
ohh but they're not considering themselves fa* , so we're actually not.....i's confused

It doesn't matter if the ref is a homosexual or not, Kobe is using a gay slur in an insulting manner even if his definition is unrelated to sexual orientation.
Simply because many people say "gay" when they mean something is stupid or dumb, or call someone a fa* when they mean they're weak or an idiot still isn't appropriate because "you're defining the word differently" it's still putting down homosexuals and marginalizing them in a negative way by association. You can't make that kind of separation when using hate speech.
Also, it isn't as if EVERY single homosexual has protested or complained about this, it was one organization, Human Rights Campaign... not GLAAD or dozens of other groups, so far it's just one. It seems like people in this thread are overreacting as the supposed "overreacting" by one group
