A Reason for Prejudice???

Have been hearing some rumblings that people have heard I referred to my landlady in an inappropriate manner--by calling her a lesbian, if I recall--and they've held it against me without understanding all the facts. Is there ever a time to refer to another person's sexual orientation--whatever it may be? We should be as tactful as possible, I agree; and I wasn't as tactful as I could've been in that situation. But it may sometimes be necessary to make some comments. In this case, my landlady had been inconsistent between her words and actions; and she was denying the circumstances which I felt were a problem for me. Is it a problem if someone is gay? That in itself isn't a problem. But it can be a problem if the gay person is overly aggressive towards a heterosexual person. And that's what I felt happened in my case. In the sidebar of this blog, there's a Label "Landlord/Tenant and Related Issues" which deals with this matter. People can click there if they wish to study the matter further. *** Whatever concerns people have about me or my past business, I'm certainly willing to clarify them. I don't mind discussing anything that needs to be discussed; and I'll write to my official sources also. [And if I wasn't always 100% right, it doesn't change the fact that there were legitimate concerns to be dealt with.]
