Todd,
The fact that some are using the word in place of
'bad'
or 'sissy' does not change it's meaning. By calling it
'gay',
they're equating bad with being gay.
They are telling the owner of the
lousy car that he
must be gay to have a car that bad.
But what the
other person hears is 'I'm an intolerant
jerk that knows less about cars
than people, so ignore
me'.
