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.
