You can choose to ignore that and consider them both to be generic insults if you wish, but you really shouldn't be so surprised when some people take offence. You know what those words mean. It's your choice to ignore their meaning, you can't expect everyone else to follow you.
But yeah, I'm the one on a high horse.

I don't expect
anyone else to follow me. I've already said that it was the wrong thing to say, but it's just not that big of a deal that I'm going to form a negative opinion on him as a person over it.
There's a lot of people who've called someone a ***got or a homo or gay at some point in their life for me to think they're all twats.
