You’re (disingenuously) implying Ali used the word in the context of a slur. It wasn’t used as a slur, therefore it wasn’t an offensive word she used. The word can be both offensive and not offensive depending on context. It was quite clear Ali wasn’t using it in an offensive context.

It’s great to see people want to take a stand against LGBT HMs being victim of potential homophobia but that energy could be better spent tackling the actual homophobia that’s been levelled against Ali this season.

Where was the homophobia against her ? . She herself played that card ...by saying ' the straight boys are top of the hierarchy ' ,I think it went over most of our heads. As it made no sense .

Sorry I wasn’t clear - on this very forum and elsewhere. People consistently invalidating her sexuality mainly.
