Of course not, the no homo and no hetero isn't necessary. You should be able to give someone a compliment whenever you have something nice to say without someone assuming you have the hots for them.
I remember in highschool I gave compliments pretty regularly when I had something nice to say about someone. There was this one girl though who I thought was a very good person so I'd tell whenever she did something nice. But apparently she thought I had the hots for her because she rejected me without me even being interested or asking in the first place. And I was never able to convince her that I wasn't into her and just thought she was a good person.

@VTDestiny The reason men say, "no homo" is because they know how they behave towards women they are attracted to. It's hard to expect a gay man to respect your boundaries if you're not willing to respect women's boundaries. Therefore, they have to go out of their way, whether gay or straight, to project an image that they are not attracted to other guys, lest they be perceived as a potential predator.

@ShadowSister I guess that makes sense, but I still don't think it's fair to be perceived that way just because of a simple compliment
