No one had a problem with that except in recent years where this PC movement has gotten out of control. The only people who clearly have a problem is people who aren't gay. When people say "oh that's gay" they never ever implied that homosexual people are stupid but instead use gay as slang word. Kind of like how faggot means a gay man but no one ever uses it to refer to gay men but instead uses it as an insult to refer to someone who is stupid/a loser. They are slang words because they're both (in this case of saying gay) are not used to describe something or someone as homosexual but change the meaning of the word. People don't inheritly believe gay people are stupid either so the two meanings of the word aren't connected. It's not the same as saying "you're retarded" where the characteristics of down syndrome, mainly lower intelligence, is used to insult people to describe them as such. I hope this makes sense.
