Not at all. "Gay" is the preferred term for someone who is attracted to members of the same sex. It is inappropriate (the not illegal) to use "gay" to mean "stupid."

The word "homosexual" is now considered inappropriate (but also not illegal) to use as a noun in English-speaking countries, as it has a clinical connotation, and is also frequently used by those who oppose gay rights.
