Is it wrong for a gay man, who is not straight, to consider something is straight and acceptable? I mean, he wouldn't be gay anymore he would be bi.
It's wrong to use any otherwise neutral adjective that describes a core aspect of how someone is born (their race, their sexual orientation ... heck even their height or mental disability) as a derogatory term.

Most English speakers can understand that when you do that, you're equating the way that person was born with a negative value ... in other words you're indicating that you believe that group of people are inferior, because you're using the word that describes them as a slur.
