Not if it is used for homosexuals, since that is the primary usage. It was once considered slang for that, but it is now accepted usage, and more accepted than the word homosexual. The word homosexual has a clinical feel to it, and they insist they are born that way and have nothing wrong with them.

Now, the word gay can be slang for the word stupid. A person may call a boring movie gay. That is a somewhat offensive usage, since it sort of lumps gay people in with things that are stupid, shoddy, inferior, etc.
