It comes from the Italian "fagotto," and those languages that use the Italian form (instead of the French/English "basson/bassoon") have a different word for the pejorative you're inferring. Also, it'll be spelled with one "g", not two.
If you say "Ich hasse das Fagott" to a German they'll know you're opining on woodwinds and not confused whether you're insulting a homosexual.
