I have listened to many of his talks, but not all of them. At least presently I don't remember what you have described.
To a great extent other-selves' remarks don't bother me anymore, but of course it's not nice if he had the intention of attacking gay people, or any being(s) personally.
I checked the discussion of homosexuality in Scott's youtube session 31 (2). I didn't hear him refer to gay people as fags, but I might've missed that. I think what you are describing is more of a point of view that on Scott's part is not too well-informed on one hand, but he said that some people identify themselves with sexual orientation solely, which is in his opinion shallow, and he didn't take into account the larger picture of what gay pride represents. It wasn't a vicious attack though.
