No, it's not a double negative, since there is no negative in the phrase. It's tautology (using two words that both mean the same thing). Unless you mean gay in the old fashioned way, of light-hearted and happy. Then you're calling them a happy gay, which should cheer them up no end.

Is nothing you can't do a double negative?

Yes, this does involve a double negative (nothing and can't), but that does not mean that it is incorrect. If I were to say "There is nothing you can't do", that would be an encouraging and positive statement that is equivalent in meaning to "You can do anything". Examples of incorrect double negatives include "there isn't nothing" or "there ain't nothing" to mean "there is nothing", and "you can't do nothing" to mean "you can't do anything".
