as a gay man its things like this that make me not enjoy DU.
I alerted on the post as well. Nothing like an anonymous person telling a minority to lighten up.

Posting photos of the two candidates posing in a gay embrace is homophobic, gay love is not funny nor is spreading the stigma attached to images such as this.
