Eh it’s playing on that usage, but the tongue is firmly in the cheek enough that it’s obviously not meant in a non-ironic way. As a queer guy I could see playing with the phrase that way, much like how my friends call each other the F word, and people wear “he/him/daddy” shirts at Pride, and all sorts of other ways we can make fun of ourselves and not take ourselves dead serious 100% of the time, which turns people off.

My wife used to work with a guy like that, in a supermarket chain.
Around Christmastime he says to my wife…“You’ve heard of elf on the shelf? Well how about…”…and just stopped there, and straddled a long, thin loaf of French bread like a witch riding a broom.
My wife, being the type of ally who would never use that word, just kinda stared at him blankly. She didn’t get it.
Meanwhile when she told me this story I nearly keeled over laughing. Not because of the joke but just because of her reaction to it.

Why? You could easily argue he’s just had a prolific sex life with a string of cops
