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.
