Good morning. I'll keep this relatively brief.
There are extremely few acceptable contexts for behavior like this on SL2. This is not one of them.
Not only were there multiple people who brought this to our attention, but this is the latest in a series of reports regarding your hostile behavior, with screenshots. Including in "IC" posts. This is a light touch as far as I'm concerned, for only the most blatant we've seen.
Frankly, I don't care if you were saying it to a friend. Roleplaying games of our sort are fundamentally built to work off of the collaborative nature of roleplay as a hobby. The discomfort that behavior like this causes is fundamentally toxic to a roleplaying environment... hence why most reasonable players know to keep less pleasant "jokes"- if I grant you that -like this to a more private venue, such as the discord you must surely share with said friend.
Whilst some LGBT folk may be fine with language like this being used by a friend when regarding them, not everybody is going to be happy with you tossing around slurs. This should be obvious.
Learn to cut the hostility, or you won't be welcome here at all.
