He shouldn't have used the word "fag" like that, he should have known people like GLAAD would get offended. People like the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation never take context into consideration. All they think is that saying "fag" in such an off-handed way makes it easier to say in a hateful way for others. It would be like him calling the guy "nigger" or "kike" either of those would be offensive, and as a public figure Chris Jericho should know better.
That all being said I'm sure Chris Jericho is not a homophobe or a biggot. The context of his words make it fairly obvious that he was just joking and being playful.
