If the guy was gay and the "Fag-bomb" was dropped would that then make him a homophobe? I think the whole thing has been taken wayyyyyyy off the reservation. People are trying to make a scandal out of nothing.
I think you're trying to defend the indefensible here, mate. It was a disgraceful, unacceptable comment that if he'd said it from anywhere other than the safety of the stage would probably have earned him a punch in the head. He's apologised for it though, let's move on.
