It's not just used in speech, the internet has also popularized the use of the word too. For an example of this, check the comments of almost any mildly unpopular song on video on YouTube. You could probably find a comment that contains the word 'gay' in a negative light on most social media websites as well. This got me wondering if the word has surpassed it's meaning of being homosexual and now has taken on a new one of discontentment.
Sidenote:
I do not mean any offense by this post, I'm gay myself. I'm merely curious on the use of the language.
