Someone with a fagot (faggot) of wood will HAUL it home, usually on one's shoulders or back. Collecting the wood requires breaking sticks to fit, ripping up or tearing down branches, and so on. Feel free to describe for yourself the associations of「person with homosexual」on your own, as perhaps the origin of the American English expression「haul ass」as in to move very quickly, especially to escape having one's ass hauled, ripped up or torn open by another when not invited to do so. Without expressing a morality opinion regarding the use of these terms to describe homosexuality of either sex, we are 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)
Japanese: well, now, then
Unihan extended: rip up, tear down, raze; haul
EDRDG: well; now

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.
