Is it really offensive to assume someones sexuality/gender?

I mean some guys get offended if you call them gay when they're not. But if you assume that a guy is a guy would it be offensive? I am just so confused because someone told me it is wrong to assume someone's sexuality/gender like the second one, a guy being a guy.

There are only 2 , so you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right . Now if you mistake one for the other .... that might be offensive 😉

@TexChik so if you call someone who's gay a guy would she/he really get offended?
