The way Ozzie used the word *** was not in a homophobic way and will definitely not lead to any homophobic deaths. He basically called him a sissy. Put the whole thing in context.
That's exactly why is homophobic; if calling someone a "***" makes them a sissy, then that's calling gay people a bunch of sissies.
Either way, its not the end of the world. He shouldn't have said it (just call him a sissy/pussy/huge vag next time), but he did and of course the PC media are going to flip out and overreact. Really, in a way, its their job. Now they have a controversial story lots of people will pay attention to, so they'll blow it out of proportion and run it until it dies.
