Maybe my hearing ain't 20/20 (II)

It was raining when I went to lunch just now, and on a narrow sidewalk, I moved off to the side to let several people coming the other way pass me. While I waited for them to pass, with rain dripping down the sides of my umbrella, I overheard some of their conversation . . . or maybe misheard it. Because one person was saying to his friend, "You sound a little homophobic there!" And his friend, in a defensive tone, responded, "I go home every night!"

I'm guessing either I misunderstood their words, or someone clearly needs a dictionary.
