Well, in the absence of specific examples, I’m sure I don’t know what “homophobic language” you’re referring to. It’s a cliche to say it, but “Some of my best friends are gay”, and they’d certainly be surprised to find someone calling me a homophobe. What my gay friends have which you apparently lack is a sense of humor, and what you have that they lack is a chip on your shoulder. I’ve heard the best Lawyer Jokes from lawyers, I’ve heard the best Jewish Jokes from Jews, and I’ve heard the best Gay Jokes from gay men. (I know gay lawyers, I know Jewish lawyers, and I know gay Jews, but I don’t think I know a single gay Jewish lawyer. More’s the pity, because just imagine the jokes he’d know!)
I acknowledge my error concerning your birth year, and apologize. It was not poorly meant. I also acknowledge your distaste for the word “Christian”, and again it was not intended to offend.
