I mean like gay means both male and female, but lesbian means only female. Is there a word that only means male?

There isn't one. Just gay man. Unless you start getting into slurs, of specific types within the gay male community.

The slur that starts with F is not equivalent to Lesbian, and you really shouldn't say it if you aren't a gay man reclaiming it.

So why the male one is offensive and female one is OK?

There a subsets that aren't generally offensive like bear, twink, otter, ect...

Also, there are some gay men who are reclaiming it, and use it with each other.

Lesbian is based on the word Lesbos, which is the island where the poet Sappho lived who wrote a lot of Lesbian Anime...

So... who was the first ancient Greek yaoi writer?

I actually read an interesting article about the word homosexual that made me think.

When referring to LGBTQ+ people as a group, "homosexuals" is really only used by the religious right, and conservatives.

In my experience, most people who have come out to me have told me they were gay not homosexual as well.

I've seen it used jokingly or tongue in cheek before tbh.

remember fellas: if you kiss a girl you're actually kissing all the guys she's kissed before, which is gay. but if you kiss a guy you're kissing all the girls he's kissed, which is way more straight

Well yeah, jokingly in a space that was probably mostly LGBTQ people. It's also used when referring to ones own sexuality.

Difference between someone saying "I am homosexual" and going on TV and saying "The homosexuals".

It is just because people will refer to all homosexuals as gay doesn't mean it doesn't reference mostly two men.
