I would prefer people don't use it.
It refers to one part of our society that has some exceptional people in it,
and turns it into a negative remark.
Using it as a synonym for "usual" or "stupid", just feeds into the whole negative image.
And I don't care if gay people even use it in this context,
I don't like black people using the "N" word in regards to themselves either.
Either word used in that context just sends a shiver through my spine,
it brings up the stories of pain and anger I've heard.
