So I can use the "n" word and just say "oh, I wasn't using the slur definition?"

3. a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by black people; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.

If you are using this one, why not.

Because it's still mostly used as an incredibly offensive, hurtful slur, and that's the definition most people think of when they see it.

The definition you quoted still says the second one is offensive.

But it's not homophobic. That's the point.

I think it is though. But you don't seem interested in hearing the argument, which you and everyone else here has probably already heard enough times before, so I don't see any point in going on with this.

But it's still offensive.

Offensive. a contemptible or dislikable person.

See the word "offensive"? That indicates that by using this slur, you're potentially causing pain to a lot of bystanders reading your comment, and not just to the intended target of your insult.
