The better part of my childhood, calling something gay meant it sucked, and calling someone a fag or homo was a really absurdly common dis. If someone called you a ######, that was an escalation no doubt.
Maybe IIRC correctly, my senior year the general student body stopped using homophobic terms as a general rule, but without doubt it did remain a common insult.
