Really? A scatalogical definition of "Fudgepacker" is not indicative of an anti-gay bias?

I remember a lesbian explaining to me that word back in 1992.

May I suggest that anal sexuality is not the prerogative of gays ?

Or if I misunderstood the meaning, is there a [[list of offensive terms for homosexuals]] where this one could be better explained to non-english speakers ?

Incidently, I appreciated the numerous answers to my question about "retard". I understand the "politically correct" side of it. However, I would say that the adjective (or the noun) first applied to its user; and if a user choose to carry a (to some) pejorative user name, I would tend to think it is mostly his problem. But I understand some may be bothered.
