I get exactly what you’re saying. I’m a hetero dude but I’m around a lot of LGBTQ folks, many of whom are my friends. If something is literally homosexual (like my friend kissing her girlfriend or someone wearing a T-shirt with a homosexual themed graphic) I’ll still say “That’s gay!” There’s at least a couple of people who use the phrase to mean that certain things are awesome.
Exactly! We also like to poke fun at it ever being a “bad” thing. One of our running gags with each other, my partner and I, is to respond to something/event by saying “I think I might be gay” and the other one of us will feign horror.
