Yes, it's lame, but women have been calling each other bitches for decades now. language is a funny thing, my guess is at least half of the people who say something is "gay", as in bad, aren't even homophobic, just subject to the anti-PC backlash that has most people not questioning using words like gay to describe something as bad, telling somebody they throw like a girl, or dance like a white guy, or drive like an asian etc. You work in the blue color trades, and you hear much worse than that, and mainly as a joke, to get you riled up, because men think it's funny to push buttons sometimes.
Nobody even bothered to question if the first poster was homophobic, and personally i could name at least three gay people I've known who used that term to say something was bad. None of those three were particularly self loathing, just really loose with language, with black senses of humor, and punk/goth/metal types.
