Really?? I think LOTS of people have a problem with that, in fact I find it much more offensive than "that's so gay." I used to work with the Special Olympics, and the athletes found it highly offensive too... so where do you get the idea nobody cares about that?
What is wrong with the word "retarded"?
From my dictionary: retarded - slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress.
I posted the definition above - how can it be an offensive slur?
Again, don't play this game with me... you aren't a stupid person, so I think you can figure out the concept of DUAL MEANINGS without me spelling it out for you.
Now go up to a person with an intellectual disability, call them retarded (or better yet a "retard"), then report back to us how it made them feel. Mkay?

Why would they feel any worse than being called "mentally challenged" or "developmentally disabled"?

Huh? You are a straight woman & you have wished more then once to be a gay man?? Ummm...why? If you already like men - why do you need to be a gay man?
Not making fun....just scratching my head about that comment.
