“Gay doesn’t use the word sex,” he said. “Lesbian doesn’t use the word sex. Homosexual does.”

So does bisexual, pansexual, asexual... Heterosexual too, although in English the term straight is more common. "Straight" is an English slang, but in many other languages there isn't a similar slang, so people use words similar to "heterosexual".

Sure, people might use "homo" to offend others, but people also use "gay" to offend others.
