Is the OP being over sensitive?
It is easy to cite racism or homophobia if something is written that you do not necessarily agree with.
Marcus gave short shrift to BB when he was accused of making racist comments to Sree. The same should be the case here, political correctness is often a ploy to silence the opposite view.

No the OP is merely voicing something he feels strongly about
|
The OP may well feel strongly about the subject but that does not mean he or she is right.
I feel strongly about many things but I am not necessarily right in the eyes of others. It is when those views are censored or dismissed as homophobic, racist or xenophobic in an attempt to stifle them that I object to.

So calling someone a Homo is politically correct by you then.

I didn't say that. That's exactly what I mean about using homophobia in an effort to smear the views of somebody else. You don't know my views on homosexuality anymore than you know the name of the football team I support and indeed even my sexuality.
If I called someone a "homo" and I was gay myself, would that be ok? If I was black and I called someone a n**** would that be ok? Do you know I am not black and homosexual?
It's easy to dismiss someone by claiming they are xenophobic, racist, homophobic without any grounds and you have just illustrated the point perfectly.

How can calling someone homophobic, someone who has blatantly and continually abused another poster with Homophobic taunts be wrong. They were posted as insults to another poster, so yes that is homophobic, if you fail to see that, and if feel censorship of hostile and totally abusive posts is wrong then I'm sorry but your wrong. By your logic censorship is worse than someone being abused and taunted with homophobic remarks.
