"Bitch" is completely gender-neutral in gay circles.
i found out when my friend called me that, before we were really friends. that might have been one of the best ways to start a friendship, confused me greatly, but i've totally loved the guy ever since.

I can level on that, in a way. In not too terribly dissimilar fashion... in my family vulgarities are literally terms of endearment. I guess we're all just that emotionally repressed. We can't seem to go the "I love you" (or hugs and kisses) route, so... we use reverse-psychology, slaps to the ass and that kind of stuff. Really. It's a funny thing to be sure... in public, lots of 'looks' lol. My great grandfather didn't get it and held deep offense to it thinking when I rebutted my mom with an admittedly ill-timed 'butt-hole' one Christmas that I was a brat (not knowing my mom whips worse out. She started the whole thing). Wouldn't talk to me for the longest. Poor man (weirdly though the next Christmas he got all enraptured with the 'Jackass' movie that was on... serious. Man of mystery indeed. We were all like: 
then: 
).
vulgar language is no good in my family, but... it's fairly common to smack someone's arse. the same way i'd to when telling our horse she's been a good girl after doing some work. i think it's about establishing trust in some way. (and one can't smack too lightly, because that would just tickle)
