Oh god so so so many. I'm going to stick with music though for today.

You like ${artist}? That's gay.

Even more fun, "You like ${Track} from artist? That's the gayest track."

Guys are real quick to make sure everyone else knows how much manlier they are by what music they listen to.

Sounds like your music is pretty gay. Add some masculinity with It’s Raining Men or just jamming to some Village People.

Just wanna point out that at least in the 90s and early 2000s people would call everything they disagreed with gay, and it didn’t have anything to do with sexual preference.

My brother’s gay and still calls stuff he disagrees with gay. Used to do it myself all the time but stopped quite a long time ago.

In the same vein, my friend frequently tells his fiancé to quit being a f*ggot when he doesn't want to eat something unusual or complains about mild annoyances. Which always draws hilariously confused looks from nearby straights who don't know them very well.

Those guys are all sadly afflicted by a case of the Notgays.
