Most often when guys (it almost always is guys) are talking about someone that they respect almost too much. It may not have been intended to be derogatory in any way.

Using gay as a slur, even facetiously, is the sign of a moron...but it is also sadly quite common and in many cases not even consciously connected to anti-homosexual thought.
