I have never heard of people using the term "punk" with any connotation of "homosexual". It's interesting to learn that Burroughs (and perhaps a few others?) once used it that way, but I'm skeptical that that has meaningfully influenced broader common usage. "They are certainly calling on this legacy" seems like a claim that needs evidence?
