There are laws on what you can say. Its not allowed to insult someone. And its not allowed to insult ethnicities. Basically the same like every other freedom right: it end where the freedom of another person starts. So no, it wouldn't be possible to ban any mention of gayness.
On the other hand, laws don't fully protect you from this. The US has a very wide understanding of freedom of speech and at the same time has a 'don't say gay' bill.
