No, but it has that connotation in 1980s+ or so culture.

You don't say you're having a gay time or that you're feeling a little gay today, just cause it used to mean happy. And when you say something is wicked, it's generally understood to mean 'cool' (not that I condone that one).

Point is, words change, this one certainly has. And 'grooming' is now an effective political label, far more rhetorically effective than them calling us nazis.

It is an effective rhetorical weapon, one of our few, and i'd go so far as to say it is our most effective one in polite conversation. Only an autist goes around insisting on all the old uses and claiming that they engage in grooming of their heir.
