1. This is so a non-issue
He could have used "fairy" "twinky" and a whole host of other words and still O supporters would have jumped on it as homophobic

2. Keep telling yourself that. You need something to hang onto.
God knows you have little else.

3. And those, also, would be homophobic slurs.
He COULD have said "shrinking violet", or "pushover", "jellyfish", "wimp". There's a thesaurus full of words that imply weakness without implying homophobia.
