Yes it does. Which was one of the reasons it was co-opted by certain members of the homosexual community to refer to themselves, as a way of refuting the idea that they were somehow maladjusted.
But, if we're focusing on the changing meaning of words, ironically it has now developed another interpretation in teenage use, to mean that something is "lame" or "stupid".
Which seems very apropos to the editing in question.
