It really doesn't make sense to me.

I agree with you and I was surprised he wasn't fired earlier. That's one of the things I was trying to point out...the way he behaved is unacceptable. Period. It is inappropriate regardless of race or gender.
He didn't just "call someone gay." He actually outted a gay man and used derogatory words. Screaming insults and slurs at co-workers is inappropriate, whether you agree with their personal lifestyle or not. Like you said, it's just a matter of professionalism. People should expect the possibility of being fired for that behavior... again, regardless of their race or gender.
I was just pointing out that he did those things because a few other posters were suggesting that he was just
perceived as a threat to others, when he had actually been acting in a way that was threatening to others.
