I hope this is unintentional, but homophobic insults aren’t helping the cause

The man literally fellated at his microphone stand at a rally. How is this homophobic

The man is homophobic, but that's not the point.

The point is that jokes about him simulating a fellatio are also based on homophobic prejudice, like "look, the man knows how to suck a dick. He's so gay, lol".

I personally never once thought that about what he did. I was embarrassed that somebody in a position to become a world leader would have the decision making skills that said it was ok to do that in the first place.

Doing that in a private setting could be funny. In front of cameras during a presidential campaign is terribly concerning.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents
