I read the Tumblr post after Jensen supposedly asked that no Destiel questions be asked at cons and used the unfortunate term gay (as a pejorative term) to describe the trench coat return to Cas.
Sorry to butt in, but it wasn't "gay", it was "unmanly" that caused the controversy. Misha was the one to originally talk about him and Jensen wanting to change the scene because it came across as a little too gay (in the literal sense) for the characters as they had been established. Jensen later described the writing for it as "unmanly", when fans then said that Misha said "gay" he immediately assumed that it had been meant as a pejorative term and joked that he was trying to be a little more PC, while a few people in the audience loudly protested that gay doesn't mean unmnaly
