If you use the word, "Gay" and wish to pluralise the word, then you would say, "Gay people" or homosexual which is the other common term.
But it is not so serious to add an "s" to the word, "Gay", unless you are the type of person who is looking for trouble, when trouble is not even there?

Correct nodis. "The gays" is unacceptable. Gay people is correct tho.

It's funny actually, but there is so many slang words and ways to describe gay people, I can't believe it?
How many can you think of Baz? which would be acceptable, which would offend? That's a hard one.

I am sure many would offend, But to refer to someone as "The Gays" may offend someone just as much as saying, well, "The English". You are generalising on people as Stropz said. People are individuals and should not be generalised.
