originally meant: happy, excited, merry, exuberant, etc.
Now it is:
1) referring to members of the homosexual community
2) used to refer to something that is annoying, stupid, unfortunate, or altogether unwanted.
Controversy:
-Use number two has led to a political correctness backlash against this use, I see nothing wrong with this use it is just a word, and people have their first amendment right to use it, but political correctness activists do not see it that way.
-Another issue that has arisen out of use #2 is the accusations that the people that use the word gay, are closet homosexuals, trying to distance themselves by making themselves seem more masculine. I do not agree with this; once again this is just a word, a slang term like cool or hella.

Get the gaymug. The dictionary definition is happy, but it has come to mean homosexual, and often is used as a general negative word to mean stupid, dumb, useless, boring, mean, or anything negative.
Some people say that people who use the word "gay" as something negative are ignorant, or homophobic, however the word is so commonly used that many smart, non homophobic people use the word.
