9. Never heard of assclown being derogatory towards gay men, but maybe.

Just never heard that definition of it. Though a lot of times any insult with the word "ass" gets grouped into that category, because of obvious ones like "ass pirate". . . which I was first introduced to when a gay friend of mine in college showed up wearing a shirt that had "Ass Pirate" written on it in "Olde English Fonte".

I've heard it used on television before, and towards people who were heterosexual, so if it did start with a projudiced meaning, I suspect that meaning has been lost on the mainstream culture.
