Man, these seats are gay. I can't even see what's going on!

Sorry if this has been touched upon already, but it's something that have bothered me for years.
What's up with the frequent negative use of the word 'gay' in the English language? Same goes out for 'retarded'. I cringe everytime someone uses it.


.........
I realize UD is not the best source but...:

1. gay

1. jovial or happy, good-spirited

2. a homosexual male or female

3. often used to describe something stupid or unfortunate. originating from homophobia. quite preferable among many teenage males in order to buff up their "masculinity"


Am i being oversensitive here? I'm wondering what you all think about it.
