This whole categorising of stuff not worth bothering with under the label "gay" really pisses me off. It is just like calling a guy a "girl" as an insult. It suggests there is something highly undesirable about being either of those things if it is the ultimate insult. If a woman is acting like a ball breaking powerbitch we dont call her a boy as an insult. Calling someone a bitch or a slag is at least based on a specific insult rather than just "female" and that being enough. Same with gay. Calling a guy a dramaqueen for instance, draws on the idea of gay as insult but it's specific rather than just the mere idea of homosexuality being in and of itself such a dire insult as to need no further specification.
