DISCLAIMER:This joke is homophobic. "Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic. Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic"

this article explains it well: https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5082/the-dangerous-stereotype-of-the-self-hating-homophobe

Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic

Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic

Hope that helps.

I know this is a meme space, but since there are quite a few comments about whether this is homophobic or not, I’ll leave this article here. Judge for yourself.

Making fun of homophobic people for being homophobic is not itself homophobic

People need to lighten the fuck up

You mean gay people should lighten up about being made the butt of a joke about trump? Fuck right off.
