Sodomite is simply someone who engages in sodomy, i.e. buttsex, including heterosexuals. I've been repeated told that not all gays enjoy or engage in anal, therefore to be called a sodomite is not a homosexual slur, BY THEIR OWN DEFINITION. And if you want to look at the origin of the word and the actual biblical text, the sins of Sodom extended far beyond attempting to gang rape a couple of angels. BTW it also includes adultery and all other kinds of "uncleanliness" and perverted behaviors.
In that case I misunderstood, and took the word how it's usually employed; as a derogatory remark/generalisation about gay people full stop, anal sex or no, cos most people who use it don't make that distinction. I didn't know who you were talking about when you said that, but reading ahead it seems to be Min... so I jumped to conclusions thinking it was a specifically homosexual slur, since he's not. But it's still a horrible word and slur/generalisation however you use it, extended definition or not, IMO.
