It's an inaccurate term for a bold and prejudicial statement - if we are allowed to publicly slate sexual preferences and claim the terminology is relative to the speaker and therefore acceptable it opens the floodgates for further prejudices - Asians are not cool, Christians are uncool, Transsexuals are not particularly cool...
Tastes and perceptions of cool is not the issue - derogatory talk of entire sexualities is.
Lesbianism might "not be for you", but a place where this kind of pointless statement is allowed to fester will soon see further thoughtless and potentially harmful slurs from those keen to overstep the mark and not discuss curious issues without making their prejudices known in the process.
A horror forum filled with kids could probably do without it.
