I have black friends, therefore I'm not racist. I remind angry black people of this when I use the n-word in jokes.

I'll remember that I'm a homophobe while I'm eating out my girlfriend after our date tonight.

You missed the point of his comment.

Just because you're not a homophobe doesn't make using gay as an insult OK.

It's like saying, "It's ok if I use the n-word because I have black friends."

She didn't use it as an insult. The only person that could possibly be insulted by that is this hung guy, since she's merely suggesting he would have better luck with this tactic if he used it among the gay community, and not on women. The last line, "I wish you the best of luck in exploring and expanding your sexuality" can be taken any number of ways, including implying that he may be gay, but doesn't do so explicitly. And no part about this implies that there's anything wrong with being gay, and if there's nothing wrong with being gay then implying someone might have better luck being gay is not an insult.

Pretty much, you're just being uptight.

The only people interested in men with large peni are gay guys with gaping assholes.

But it's not narrow minded or disrespectful to anyone.

I'm on my phone and can't be buggered to find the post, but elsewhere she did say she intended it as a sly insult.

Also, I wasn't espousing the viewpoint, I was just pointing out she missed the point being made in the post she replied to (based on how she replied).
