Here is a definition of the term he used. I am sure if folks would just read a dictionary or do an internet search, you would understand the term. Not every word has just one meaning. Also Charlie Rose is a smart guy, he did not react negatively at all about the comment.

I agree.

Billy Packer deserves all the minor grief that comes his way, but this is just plain stupid. I believe 'fag out' is actually British slang that's been around forever.

btw...it took me a long time to convince myself that typing "packer gay slur" into google would be a wise thing to do...
