You deserved to get banned, because even if you weren't calling the poster in question Gay. You indeed implied that there was something unsavory about being Gay. Whether it was in jest or not. You were feeding into a very negative very persistent stereotype. It just isn't appropriate to refer to anything as being Gay anymore. It really says more about the demographic then the object in question.
Especially if the object in question is in anyway out of the norm. It is basically a veiled attack that denigrates a entire group of people. Through the implication that they are not normal. Which is actually not how Gay people want to be viewed by society. They want you to recognize that their lifestyle is equally valid, and entirely normal. Implying otherwise is quite insulting.
That is how I see it. You probably shouldn't refer to anything as being Gay anymore. If for no other reason then it is insensitive to our LGBT brothers and sisters.
