Telling someone is gay, isn't an insult you idiot.
Are you on drugs? Don't ever call a user "idiot" again.
And gay can be seen as an insult, it's up to the one who it's said to.
While "gay" may have changed for some, it is still being used as a means of bullying, as are many other homophobic insults <homophobic bullying>.
"Gay" may be seen as "out of the norm". Therefore some people use "gay" in a bad way, as they equate gay to dumb or some other negative word.
By applying the word "gay" to something negative, they imply being gay is also negative.
Just like people use "r.etard" as an insult (I totally do not support that - it's even censored on our forums because of frequent abuse).
In addition: guys in general seem to prize manliness, machoness, masculinity, virility, etc. "Gay" implies a wimp, someone "soft." and therefore it could be seen as something negative.
Dr. Entin said: “The traditional view of being called gay was like being called an evil person. The state of public opinion has changed, but there are still people who feel that way.”
It's not zomboy's problem as he wasn't insulted, as everyone has a different view, but you should accept that people can feel offended by that.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7289390.stm just proves how it's used as insult, as a means of bullying.
So Luneth, accept that. People can feel offended by being called "gay", and you are totally wrong for calling the user above an idiot.
Denying a report is one thing, insulting the user (reporter) is another. Enjoy your infraction, Luneth.
