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.
