I suspect that people who throw around gay jokes as hard as you are doing right now, just may think that being gay IS an insult, but ya'll know that on Lemmy it wouldn't be taken well.
It's the same level as the R-word. People don't take that well these days, and with good reason.
Or ya know, you can just try not to insult people, even if you don't like them. You can just say you don't like them because you don't agree what they stand for. That way you are clear, and the only one who can reasonably be offended is the person you are making the remark about. It's not high school anymore.
Society grows and words and phrases change meaning over time. What was a funny insult when you were in high school, isn't funny anymore. I sincerely hope that you can be wiser with your words and intent in the future. You're not making a good case for yourself with these replies.
