The use of "gay" as an insult or as a negative thing is incredibly harmful, likely more so than you realise.

I don't think that, unless you have experienced this yourself, you really have the right to make a judgement on such a thing, and I can tell you from my personal experience, it does affect people.

So no, this is not a "snowflake warn" and is in line with the discrimination policy. Dutch did the correct thing here.
