Does it tell you to call another person a ***? I hate all beliefs that promote meanness.

Nowhere. However, homosexuals "...must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.(CCC 2357– 2359).
The language and wording of this portion of the catechism is currently being hotly debated at the Synod on the Family in Rome.

Are you saying that elephants do not exist because the Bible says nothing about them?

The Bible says that certain behaviors are wrong. * killing, stealing, etc.) It also says that homosexual acts are wrong. It does not say that those who practice those acts are to be called by any certain name but only that the acts are wrong. We should respect the person and hope he repents and turns to God.
That word is not in the Bible. If you are asking where in the bible it condemns homosexuality there are places in old and new testament such as :Romans 1: 26-27, Leviticus ,18:22 and Leviticus, 20:13. Make of it what you will, but those are some examples in scripture.

What is a ***?
The Bible shouldn't be blamed for why some people fail to treat others with kindness. Even the violent passages of the OT, shouldn't be used to support people carrying out violence. Much of the OT is a foreshadowing and lead in if you will, for the arrival of Jesus in the NT.

Should we hold in esteem and honor someone that is doing wrong intentionally?
It is my opinion that no one but God knows anyone's intention.
