If you just talk to someone about why they would choose that word over any other to mean stupid, then you would probably find that they only chose the word because that's what is in common usage, not that they have any direct stance against homosexuals. It is after all just a word and as long as they aren't actually equating gay as in homosexual to a negative trait, then there shouldn't be anything to get offended at. I've got a lot of gay friends, and I've talked to them about it, and they don't get offended over someone calling something "gay." They just accept it as an alternate meaning to the word and in no way an offront to them.
