Is it against the law to call someone gay?

In general, no. It is not illegal to refer to someone as "gay" under most circumstances in any part of the world. However, in a country with limits on free speech, you should be careful with it; for example, publicly calling Kim Jong Il a homosexual while you're in North Korea is a good way to get yourself arrested, because it would be deemed an insult to the President. There may also be some legal issues if someone were to call another person gay (if they're not) in order to slander (spoken attack) or libel (written attack) them.

Is love illegal?

Hi. Love isn't illegal, it is never illegal. It probably will be soon or not, but it was illegal a long time ago, for some people couldn't someone else. But, now, everyone is now able to marry or love anyone they desire to. Like a Jewish to an Asian. African to White. Native to Asian. Phillopino to African. Gay to Gay. Straight to Straight. Les to Les. Bi to Bi. Bi to Les. So, it really doesn't matter what others think about you, just, be sure you really love that person and will always cherish them in your hearts, no matter what comes through. Hope I helped! :)
