    Democrats stopped using “gay” as a pejorative like 25 years ago. We all agreed not to anymore.

    The amount of homophobic rhetoric I’ve seen used to describe Trump and Putin is really contradicting this statement.

    Democrats love homophobia if they can justify it as “we’re saying homophobic things but only to homophobes therefore it’s okay! It’s tactical homophobia, not actual homophobia!”

    (To be clear, fuck both Trump and Putin, they’re monsters, but saying shit like “Trump just wants to suck daddy Putin’s cock” is homophobic.)

      How is that homophobic?

      That’s just saying that Trump is submissive.

      Nothing gay about exchanging blowjobs for favors. That’s just business.
