The guy's a faggot


Explanation:
The context is obviously street slang. Various phrases of equal rudeness that translate the activity might be used, but as always the best translation is what an English speaker would say in this context that is understandable on both sides of the Atlantic, and that would be something like "The guy's a faggot."
