Within a large watchtower, burning fagot (faggot) of wood were needed at night in order to be able to identify anyone requesting entry at the gates. Before identification, anyone standing before the closed gate would have been a「someone, not named.」Watchtower duty was extremely boring and tedious, with little or no action from without most all of the time, and it was understandable if the guards befriended one another to pass the time, especially since that sort of relationship was common, not unusual in ancient China and Japan. DebunKanji does not state a moral opinion regarding the use of these terms to describe homosexuality of either sex, but is simply explaining how and why the use of the terms originated, and the glyphs behind that usage.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: (used in Buddhist transliteration); defensive platform over gate; barbican
Unihan extended: tower over city gate
EDRDG: watchtower; used phonetically

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
