"This clip has been wrongly interpreted... as I told Tucker, I wouldn't say it because I think it's an offensive derogatory slur against gay people, not because I was too scared in case someone arrested me... I wouldn't say the N-word for the same reason."
"You're allowed to be homophobic if you want in a free country, you can have any view you want. But no, because she used the word 'f*****' she's arrested and the guy who punched her in the face is not. That story tells you everything."
"My issue with the whole trans debate, for example, is you don't need to slide into actually saying derogatory stuff about trans people to make the point that women's rights should be protected. So I don't believe in needlessly sneering or insulting anybody."
Piers Morgan declined to say the homophobic F-slur when repeatedly pressed by Tucker Carlson during an interview. Morgan explained that he would not use the slur because he considers it an offensive derogatory term against gay people, and said he would not say the N-word for the same reason. Carlson argued that a viewer was punished for using the slur while their attacker was not, framing it as a free-speech issue. Morgan also stated that debates about trans rights do not require derogatory language and said he avoids needlessly sneering or insulting people.
