You protest too much which makes your words seem inaccurate
And yet more baseless accusations
It's not a counter slur when someone is being homophobic for example or racist which is another common bigotry unfortunately
No, he's right. It's become an almost inert thing to be labelled, although the people who like to frequently use it seem to think the opposite.
If I said that gay people were not equal to straight people you would call me homophobic.
But that is technically homophobia. If you were to make that comment I'd want to know why we are not equal. Despite the marriage situation we have the same rights as anyone else
EDIT: but before I'd use that term I'd find out your reasoning first. I'd probably think it even if I didn't say it
How is he right? You haven't posted any examples of this either, just saying he's right doesn't prove the veracity of the claims
With all due respect, even a bit of trawling through your post history would turn up probably dozens of examples of where the use of "homophobe" is used to try and denigrate the subject. However, even mentioning your username is fraught with danger and the threat of a ban, so I'll respectfully decline.

another untruth as i wouldn't refer to anyone as homophobic unless they have said something which is homophobic
Probably bans are about as you shouldn't be abusing posters or something? I still need proof from you of your claims as you still haven't actually provided any
