But I do get to note who is making the complaint. And it's groups famous for their homophobic comments, their opposition to same-sex marriage, their support of the right of religious people to discriminate against the LGBT community. It's a fake complaint.

Now, had Colbert said Trump was kissing Putin's A**, who would that be demeaning? The people calling this homophobic rather than suspect, are hypocrites. It's prison slang. Sometimes attributed to the US Marines. It's not from LGBT slang.

It is more likely to shock the homophobic than those who are gay. Both Putin and Trump are macho men, or pretend to be so. So to suggest they engage in a prison-like act of submission is derogatory.

It should be recalled that acts of same-sex submission is common in the animal world where hierarchy matters. That's where this slang comes from. It doesn't come from the LGBT world.

Is it offensive to the LGBT community? It can be. The LGBT community has been fighting stereotyping. This ain't that.
