I personally didn't interpret "mushroom gobbler" as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who's high on mushrooms.

I could be wrong though, I'm not American.

Yeah like they said it isn't homophobic to depict a woman as someone who sucks dicks, because that is a straight relationship, but it could be considered misogynistic to reduce her to her sexual acts or whatever.

Mushroom gobbler is a reference to a "mushroom tip," or the head of a penis.

Ah gotcha, cheers

Well it wouldn't be homophobic. But it alludes to her and Trump to having had an affair.

Ah right, I thought she was the Republican nutter who had a three way with a woman and her husband. Different Republican nutter.

Trump's horrible penis has been referred to as "like a weird mushroom" by those in a position to know.
