The two got involved in an unpleasant brawl and Zayn could be seen confronting the man in the video where people were trying to break the situation.

this is honestly so disappointing of zayn. on the FOURTH DAY OF PRIDE ALSO. “the white guys called him it.” THE WORD CAME OUT OF ZAYNS MOUTH REGARDLESS. holding him accountable is not hate. for those who can’t hear, he says “oh i’m a f*ggot?” at the end #ZaynMalik pic.twitter.com/BSTDEjXuos

Although the sources close to the publication revealed that they had no idea why Zayn Malik was spotted shirtless outside the bar. Reportedly he was wearing a shirt inside the bar.
Netizens have been reacting to the video and a user on Twitter commented, “there’s literally nothing to forgive, he didn’t use it as an insult or say it just for say, he was repeating the man that was LITERALLY attacking him”. Another user favoured the singer and commented, “I’m a part of LGBTQ+ community and many of my friends as well, we are not hurt by it. Zayn was called the word, not the other way around, he only repeated it in anger. “You’re a bitch. Oh I’m a bitch?” A normal thing to do in an argument. Stop putting Zayn in negative light”

he didn’t use it as an insult. he was defending himself and he was almost attacked. i’m part of the lgbtq+ community and i don’t think it’s bad.

He's defending himself. As a gay i see that he's not using the slur to condemn us LGBT but he's literally saying back all that they've said to him.
