Just wanted to say - if homophobia is thematic in the mud it's being portrayed on ICly, then kudos to those players. It isn't easy to be an anti-social jerkass who you OOCLY think is wrong in their opinions. But that's what roleplaying is. It's your character being a homophobe, not you.

If it's not thematic to be homophobic ICLY when someone clearly is being homophobic, deal with it ICLY.

And it's always been my opinion that OOC communication is bad. I mostly avoid games with OOC channels like the plague. People are homephobic. People are racist/sexist whatever. It's their opinion, and opinions are subjective and can't be right or wrong. Even if someone isn't trying to be all up in your face with their controversial opinions, it does leak through in OOC conversations. And when people get upset on an OOC level, it tends to leak through ICLY.
