I disagree. If someone came up to me and said "Buenos dias! Donde estas el bano?" and I was like "that is Spanish, by the way", I have simply made an observation and have not implied that they aren't allowed to speak Spanish.

LOL. And you seriously don't see the difference between "hey that's homophobic" and someone speaking a different language and pointing that out?

Wow. Ok then.

No. "That's homophobic" and "That's Spanish" are simply statements of fact. It's left up to the listener whether they should continue being homophobic or speaking Spanish after it's been pointed out. It sounds like you've chosen to double down on homophobia. Not the choice I'd make, but you do you. Nobodys stopping you. No es mi problema.

If you are going to be basing arguments on statements of fact your comparison should be factual.

One is subjective opinion and one is relatively objective fact ( assuming actual correctness and there not being some weird exception like a subset language or something ).

Unless you are personally the global arbiter of what is and isn't homophobia, in which case ignore me.
