He calls himself "gaywonk" I don't think calling him that is homophobic. I don't really know where that talking point comes from either.

"gaywonk" isn't why Crowder is homophobic, and at worst it's only a minor example of Crowder's promotion of hate speech.

Here's several clips of Crowder clearly acting homophobic, acting in general like an asshole, and probably violating YouTube's TOS that forbids posting content that "is deliberately posted in order to humiliate someone".

Following that, there are clips of Crowder using common homophobic slurs that had the direct result of inciting some of his fans to dox Maza and denial-of-sevice/spam his phone number (video t=115). This kind of incitement and promotion of a culture of hate is exactly what hate-speech laws are trying to reduce.
