In theory, but not in practice. Some feminists I know would argue that because of the oppression of women in the past, they are more entitled to defend themselves against the physically superior enemy, i.e. men. There are quite a few feminists who believe that passive treatment of such advances, rather than such direct confrontation, encourages rape and violence towards women.
IMO, it's all BS, but it is also holy writ for many PC supporters.
It's BS because it treats a criminal issue (the delinquent behaviour of a small minority of men) as a class issue which is to be rectified by comparative means. Men as a group somehow "owe" women as a group the right to use violence against them because of the actions of a few men. Jailing innocent men doesn't magically atone for the rapes of innocent women - that's like saying the Australians are justified in murdering New Zealand children if a NZ child murderer strikes in Australia.
If I were you, I'd just apologize the guy for doing that, but not asking him for anything back. That way he feels you're honest about being sorry, and might not press those charges.. You are honestly sorry, right?
And if he won't let it go, just tell them that you felt uncomfortable and reacted in a bad way that you are very sorry for, and you volunteer to seek help, talk to some shrinks or so, or anger managment or something like that. You might not need treatment, but it would help you to get the lowest punishment if you get one. But if you try to counter attack... I smell only trouble.

LOL I used to play that game with my sister! We used to play this game of "I hit you last I win" game. Whenever she hit me on the knee to try end the game I would either say, "No, I hit YOU on the hand with MY knee" or "No I blocked it with my knee".. ahhh good times.
Spin it this way: you didn't punch him because he was homosexual, you punched him because he grabbed you.

Apologise first, see if you can't get this fellow to drop the charges.
Then threaten to counter-sue for sexual harrassment.
Say that he approached you inappropriately which should be corroborated by the testimony given that he is flamboyently gay.
Should have puked on him instead, from a PC legal
standpoint.

I categorically disagree that the girl is within her rights to hit the guy. Women are under the same obligation to restrain themselves from committing acts of violence that men are under. Giving a free pass to physical attacks because of the gender/orientation of the attacker is crap.
Morally speaking you are right, but in our society the girl probably would get away with it.

who I've known to a limited degree, was in my group... Anyway, the class ended, and everyone got up to leave, and Chad goes up to me and asks me out. I say, as politely as possible, "oh, dude, i'm not gay".
then he takes my left hand and says "are you sure?" with this innuendo filled look on his face.
apparently the kid is a big player in the schools "Pride Alliance", the gay club on campus. double ugh.
Hey, that's why people shouldn't go up and grap other people they don't know very well. Maybe you shouldn't have hit him, but the fact is, he violated your personal space after you told him no. Maybe he was kidding, but maybe not. If he didn't know you, then he had no right to touch you, even if he was just kidding. He didn't know how you would react; he overstepped his bounds. If you touched a girl without her consent, you'd be in deep trouble. Why shouldn't this gay kid be included in the "no means no" club.
I don't see what you did as wrong. It may have been excessive, but it seems to be as much of an impulse as anything else. If he sicks his gay Nazis on you, I'd say fight back. Start your own "pride club". protest gay rallys, etc. Just because someone is gay doesn't mean that they should be politically immune from an ass kicking. This guy overstepped his boundries and got what was coming to him.
