You can use whatever word you want, but that sounds a little too 'British' for me.

When I was growing up the word FAG struck fear into the hearts of us colored boys, it was probably worse than calling us NIGGER.

Not only did it give someone a stigma they didn't want but if the epithet stuck then they had to fight their way out of it afterwards.
