Referring to things they don't like as "gay" is just a lazy manner of speaking. People that are unable to translate their thoughts into words effectively use all sorts of catch-all words and phrases. The usage of "gay" in this manner is no different than the prevalence of the term "like" amongst some young people or the term "cool" amongst some people of my generation. They are examples of lazy communication just as stereotypes are examples of lazy thought processes.

You're trying to make it look like said people use the word gay with a completely different definition. It's not really the case. I'm sure you'd have to take it out of context but in most cases the people know they're referring to homosexuals.
Imagine somebody says "this test is really gay." You would say that they mean "this test really sucks." But really they are voicing the opinion that gays suck by using this stereotype.
