But as simplistic as it sounds that’s literally the basic argument here.

The basic argument of this conversation, between the two of us, was that you claimed people were censoring you, and I pointed out that making observations or even judgement calls about what you said doesn’t prevent you from saying it. Absolutely no one is stopping you from saying whatever you want. I don’t think anyone even tried to. I sure didn’t.

If you want to turn it into “well I’m gay so I can say homophobic things without judgement, like black people saying the n-word” you’ll have to do it alone because I have no interest in participating in that discussion.

Calling people you don’t like gay as an insult isn’t homophobic?

Perhaps the words don’t mean what you think they mean.

This is not calling them gay as an insult. If it were saying “they are so gay” meaning “they are so bad” then yes. But this is drawing parallels between their behavior and that of gay people in an ironical way in order to highlight their hypocrisy. And frankly to taunt them.
