Seriously? In the context we are speaking about, it's quite blatant and obvious. Yes, the word started out meaning happy, but there's no doubt the evolution to the meaning of being bad or undesirable was derived from the *****exual meaning.
I understand what you're saying, but in this particular case, there is no arguing the hateful nature if the current slang use. Once again, not saying the OP or anyone who uses it is being hateful. Just that it's the nature of the current meaning.
