          Eh, doing a bit of googling there doesn’t seem to be a direct line to homophobia and indeed lots of things point to spanking being the origin.

          Regardless I will stop using it if some think it means that, since that is what language is.

          I am fine not castigating OP as a homophobe without more evidence

          The proper term is “gay” outside of a clinical context. You would think someone concerned about homophobic language would know this. And also “butthurt” is not an anti-gay slur. But enjoy your trolling!
