She didn't actually call him a faggot. She just said something like, 'since we can't use the word faggot, I won't say anything about Edwards.'
Something like that.
She was making more of a point about the PC Nazis about the actor.
There was only one person who had the right to take offense to what the actor said and only person who deserves an apology. The person actually insulted.
Same thing with Edwards.
You mean he isn't one?
