I think in order to take away the negative meaning of a word like "gay" it needs to be used commonly to describe things in a positive or at least neutral way. So no, using it to say something is bad in some way is not accomplishing that.

Anyone who takes offense to 'misuse' of the word is being pedantic.

"What do you mean, 'it's lame'?! I happen to be paraplegic! You're very rude "
A better example would be:

"What do you mean, 'it's paraplegic'?! I happen to be paraplegic. You're very rude "

See how that's actually rude? Because paraplegics don't call themselves "lame"? And because gay people do call themselves "gay"?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
