The point ain't the word, it's this:

It's the implications of "this group of people are inherently bad, and therefore my comparison of you to them is an insult"

Also no, it's not American, it's British, they imported it later

    It's more that faggot isn't really a word I would use not because it's too offensive to use, but it just seems too American/irrelevant.

    With the right context I might use gay as a mild insult.

    Ah, so it's just that you're a prick and a homophobic one too, fair
