I can't imagine it being even close. I'd think a term such as "fag" would be found more offensive, and even that I wouldn't see as being nearly as bad as the "N" word, but I could certainly understand that people would find the term offensive.
"Homo" is really just an abbreviation of the full term "homosexual." Since someone calling someone else a "homo" would be intending to call them a "homosexual," then there doesn't seem to be anything for anyone to upset about. Unless, that is, if someone were to find the term "homosexual" offensive.
