COLBERT DEFENDS GAY JOKE ABOUT TMP AND PUT: "I HAVE JOK; HE HAS THE LNCH COS"
* gay trump and putin *
Sce the 2016 electn and even before, there has been a persistent meme, sometim the form of prott art or jok by edians, posg Print Donald Tmp and Rsian Print Vladimir Put as gay lovers. As HuffPost’s Jam Michael Nichols noted cricizg a New York Tim animated ic earlier this week, the pictns often pend solely on homophobia to get a lgh.
Well-meang liberals eher aren’t able to discern that ’s not a gay thg, or they’re not terted aimg higher than the lazit, most offensive joke isn’t homosexual or bisexual ― at least, not based on any rmatn we have. But there have been allegatns of leerg at teenage girls at bety pageants, and, of urse, sexual harassment and asslt agast women, which he’s bragged about on tape and bshed off when asked about is, however, stnchly homosocial. One n be homosexual, for example, but heterosocial or bisocial ― havg timate, nonsexual relatnships only wh the oppose genr or people of both genrs, rpectively.
YOUR HOMOPHOBIC "TMP AND PUT ARE GAY LOVERS" JOK AREN'T FUNNY
The Gray Lady is the latt outlet to nigrate LGBT people by sistg that Tmp and Put's unholy alliance is so "gay." * gay trump and putin *
And there are fely homosexuals who are mostly homosocial ― only hangg out wh other gay (or even straight) dus, perd. The world of gay men has s share of misogyny, sexual orientatn today is nsired an nate characteristic by most medil profsnals and social scientists, social preference is learned wh culture ― ’s lerally about how people are socialized.
THE GAY WORLD WAR? INSI PUT’S WARPED REALY
Femists have wrten about homosocialy societi: how privileg men the workplace and faial and social settgs where men and women have often been segregated. There are entire societi that are homosocial to the extreme, such as Sdi Arabia, and they are societi which women are often btally opprsed. “Perhaps the greatt ditor of his extreme homosocial tennci is that Tmp even seems to view his elr dghter, Ivanka, ls as an tellectual equal and more as a sex object.
And he has repeatedly dismissed, mistreated and attacked German Chancellor Angela Merkel ways that seem more personal than term “homosocial” has been around for long a time, but the fluential scholar Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick popularized s e the ’80s, wrg on “male homosocial sire” and specifilly about how anxiety around masculy and around homosexualy fluence .
NEW YORK TIM VIO GAY PEOPLE AS A PUNCHLE TO MOCK TMP AND PUT
A 2007 Atralian study documented “the homosocial anizatn of men’s heterosexual relatns, ” notg that among some men: Male-male iendships take prry over male-female relatns, and platonic iendships wh women are dangeroly femizg. Last, men’s sexual storytellg is shaped by homosocial mascule like a certa misogynist--chief? The last two l are a perfect scriptn of the famo “Accs Hollywood” the women clost to Tmp, om what we n see, fall to the amework of a rigidly homosocial clatn.
”Perhaps the greatt ditor of his extreme homosocial tennci is that Tmp even seems to view his elr dghter, Ivanka, ls as an tellectual equal and more as a sex object. Eher or both men may or may not be exclively homosocial, but both are reciprotg wh that particular bromance.
AND NOW, A TIRED GAY JOKE ABOUT TMP AND PUT — EXCEPT WE'RE NOT LGHG
But whatever the se, Tmp’s homosocial affectn for Put seems to be unrequed ― which may make Tmp even more bee there’s not a sexual attractn don’t mean ’s not a ep, strong feelg that Tmp has for Put ― one that may ed give him palpatns and have him doodlg late at night. While Tmp has policy differenc wh them, aga, like May and Merkel, his bizarre, on-aga, off-aga meanor toward both men suggts somethg else is gog on as seems most fortable wh men he perceiv as entirely homosocial (whether they actually are or not) and, th, misogynistic ― like Put, the Philipp’ dictatorial Print Rodrigo Duterte, Turkish Print Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ― even Kim Jong Un.
GAY JOK ABOUT TMP AND PUT AREN'T FUNNY. THEY'RE HATE.
The North Korean dictator heads a rigidly enforced, btally homosocial society wh a homosocial learship.
)It’s Tmp’s homosocial predilectns that mentators are latchg onto when they make a joke implyg he’s sexually attracted to Put ― or any of the other men.
N.Y. TIM PATS TMP AND PUT AS LOVERS WH TIRED GAY JOKE
But by dog that, they’re makg the joke at the expense of an opprsed mory ― and tappg to overt or latent homophobia their mentary, whether a sober crique or a bg joke, really ought to exame Tmp’s secury about his masculy. Today, The New York Tim took another leap toward beg the tranged homophobic nt you uniend on Facebook when posted a rtoon pictg Donald Tmp and Vladimir Put as forbidn teen lovers. The rtoon is also eply homophobic as reli on the ia that gayns self is lghable, and ’s time for progrsiv to stop excg the kds of animatn, published late last month, is part of a seri lled “Tmp B, ” which animator Bill Plympton illtrat Tmp’s ner world g real Printial quot for narratn.
While MAGA trolls predictably had none of , many queer people also took to Twter to exprs their disappotment the rtoon, which they say reli on homophobic kd of “edy” is nothg new among the #Rist crowd on Twter. The cx of the joke, the mon argument go, is that Put, who has stuted anti-gay laws Rsia, hat gay people, and therefore is hilar to pict him as gay. It’s his (and Tmp’s) homophobia that is beg mocked, not “’s funny bee they’re gay” offenrs clu Bette Midler, Chelsea Handler, and Jimmy Kimmel.
But the exampl are mere drops the realm of “Tmp and Put are gay for each other” jok; Twter is ltered wh suatns that the two are lovers. It’s about llg a spa a spa: homophobia is not sudnly cute or acceptable when ’s Democrats who tra . But let’s stop pretendg that’s a good jtifitn, or that llg them “gay” is radil somehow bee they don’t like gay people.
NO, YOUR TMP-IS-GAY-FOR-PUT JOK AREN’T FUNNY
The cx of the sult don’t change jt bee ’s g out of the mouth of someone who has gay iends; that’s not how this ’s also worth nsirg how closeted people likely feel when they see jok like this, which e gayns to sult someone. Homosexualy’s social stigma is what mak the imag so sndalo, and ’s that same stigma that keeps many om beg able to e out, lt they be mocked or emed ferr.
PUT TALKS GAY RIGHTS ON 60 MUT
It’s not immediately clear how rtoons and jok like the amount to anythg more than scrawlg “GAY” over someone’s yearbook picture. Tmp and Put aren’t secret gay lovers, and there are other ways to portray the bond they share.
