3. Homo's an insulting shorthand for gays that they haven't taken back, AFAIK. In general, while it does mean gay, it normally means when used in an insulting way, acting like an uptight jerk. See Louis CK's routine on faggot.

Maybe you missed the episode of Louie, where a gay man speaks to him after a show about that word. The man told him something along the lines of "You have every right to say and use that word, but just be aware of the collateral damage. There are people in your audience who grew up having that screamed at them in hate, and have an association with that word. I know you don't mean harm, but it affects us nonetheless. Please think about the perspective of others."
