I agree. It's almost impossible to use that word nowadays without it becoming weirdness one way or the other.
The swedish word for homosexual is similar to the english word "bug". It is also used as a rather random derogatory, as well as - after the homohype - to mean something like fiend, maniac or nerd. For example, someone who always needs to have the latest technical gear is a "thing-bug".
