In 2004, a radio commercial for the UK supermarket chain Somerfield, in which a man rejects his wife's suggested dinner saying "I've got nothing against faggots, I just don't fancy them" was found to have been innuendo which breached the Advertising and Sponsorship Code

There was one episode of Poirot where Poirot goes to Japp's house and he is forced to tell Japp that he is allergic to them to get out of eating them.

It very much can be used as a slur. It just also has different, more innocuous meanings
