Things are the way they are because people are forced into the culture they were born into and are pressured at every angle to stay that way or face social backlash.
I got called gay cause I got too excited while talking to one of my friends. Because it’s a common culture trait in America that any overly positive emotion towards another guy means your a sissy boy
Trust me it wasn’t just an insult where I grew up it had a seriously negative impact on my ability to socialize or form any kind of romantic relationship

I mean, no, the definitions are not disconnected at all. Gay was used as an insult because it meant homosexual.

Only because the term has mostly fallen out of use. If you still use “gay” as an insult, it absolutely is still homophobic.
