I have a tendency of screaming gay at my mates whenever they headshot me in CS, UT3 or whatsoever. Does that count?

ITT massively faulty logic.

"That's gay" = offensive to homosexuals
A sensible homosexual witnesses somebody using "gay" in a derogatory context, and is secure in the knowledge that the user isn't slagging off actual homosexuals.

"That's lame" = offensive to cripples
Exactly the same thing. They're both words that, in this day and age, mean multiple things.

knk summed it up more aptly.

Depends on it's context. Never really thought about it before but I had a gay friend and I support gay's so now even if it might be funny and you don't mean it in an offensive way, it tends to sound a little weird. But then again some things you can't take personally. It's all in how you look at it.

Likewise... and seems like a fairly old and outdated term to use in the derogatory fashion now.

y.

it depends on the context. When pointing out at something ''really'' gay (drag queens, effeminate (???) men), you're simply pointing out the obvious
