Homophobic? The offence was common obscenity, not political incorrectness, and the word was not verbalized, it was bleeped out. This is posturing by identity politicians (or maybe, it's a Trumpite masquerading as an identity pol). Stupidity in the name of progress is not progress. Same goes for the p.r. campaign to depict The Handmaid's Tale as relevant to Trump. If you throw out a lot of hot air don't be surprised when it burns your face.
