Gay refers to people who are attracted romantically and/or sexually to people of the same sex. The term "homosexual" is no longer used because it is too clinical. Gay men are called "gay men," while gay women are called "lesbians." Sexual orientation, such as being gay or straight, is inborn and not a choice (except for people who are bisexual rather than gay or straight).
Gay as in two lovers by god and their realtionship remains forever

offensive though, and it should not be used in this context.

No. Gay is meaning homosexual, which means you're sexually
attracted to someone of the same gender. If you're attracted to the
gay man in question, or any man at all, you may be gay/bisexual
depending on if you like women as well. All that your conversation
meant, was that you had an explicit conversation with someone that
is gay. No biggie.
