While the fate of Zuccotti Park as Occupy Wall Street headquarters played out Tuesday, one security guard let loose a gay slur against videographer Joey Boots.

"Your fly's open, faggot," the security guard, who was not identified by name, said in response to Boots, who was asking several workers on-camera whether they are employed by Brookfield Properties, the owner of Zuccotti Park. "That's nice man, really nice. Really professional," Boots replied (video below; exchange takes place at 1:48).

On Tuesday a judge ruled that city officials could ban tents and tarps in the park.
