Well, it's one thing to simply say you're sorry, and it's totally another to say "I'm sorry for calling (insert name) such a derogatory name. I realize it was wrong because (insert why you think it wrong), and I only said those mean things because I was a little jealous that he was getting all of the attention(or whatever reason)."
Your friend could be mad for a few different reasons. First, you said something negative about her friend, and the fact she got mad says a lot about her personality. She is the type of girl who is going to stick up for her friends. Maybe you can let her know how much you respect that quality about her. Another reason she got mad is because you really did cross the line. She was probably very suprised you would say something like that, and it showed her a whole side of you that she didn't know was there.
When a person is rightfully mad at you, the best way to get them to forgive you is by letting them know you have learned your lesson. Calling a person a "fag," is just about the same thing as using the "N" word, or picking on a person for a disability. People are born gay, and do not choose their sexuality.
I would write one more well-thought out apology, and then give it some time. She will forgive you because she sounds like the type of person who is a good, loyal friend. Hope everything works out.

Well, you've apologized, so you've done all you can really do. Its up to them to forgive you. You can't just "get" someone to forgive you. You just have to give it time to hopefully blow over. If they don't let it go, then you just have to live with that.
