My kids use it from time to time in a negative sense, I don't lecture them about it, they have picked it up from the school playground. I have explained to them what I think, that it's not an appropiate use of the word etc.
Mind you they are too young to turn it into a big issue, and they use words like dan and sick for good things, in the negative they use bob and bowl (although this latter is more used in the context of replacing the word ner, as in "so ner :-P" replaced with "so bowl :-P", and is getting passe!)
Not heard gay used by any adults ... yet
