Also known as the homo cop-out, this is the act of calling something or someone a homosexual either to diffuse a situation or obtain a desired result. Most often used in groups of guys between middle school and college.
Example 1: Guy1: I have such a awesome six-pack!
Guy2: Really? Prove it.
Guy1: No! Are you gay!?! (Also acceptable: No! That would be gay!)
Example 2: Guy1: Dude come watch this hilarious video!
Guy2: *after watching* Wow, that wasn't funny at all...
Guy1: Your so gay.
Example 3: Guy1: *on phone with Guy2* Dude! You should come to this party, there are all these hot chicks and beer! It's sweet!
Guy2: No thanks. I have better things to do than be arrested for anyone of the likely illegal activities you partaking in.
Guy1: Wow, your such a fag...
Guy2: Um.... ok.... I'll be right over!

In an argument if your opponent is LGBTQ you can invalidate their argument by invoking this fallacy.
(note this linguistic fallacy only works if you yourself are either LGBTQ as well or just homophobic)
