In addition to my post, not one of the gay people I know have an issue with others using gay in a way such as 'those trainers are so gay' or whatever. Some even use it themselves. So from personal experience, when people get bent out of shape over the use of the word, it seems they are getting offended on behalf of others unnecessarily.
