Thank you!! I truly hadn't considered it would come across as this... Hence my edits and attempts to explain how terrible I am at communicating, especially when triggered.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment and again want to thank you for quite a wakeup call! I'm certainly not homophobic nor a liberal, and on top of it all, I'm a millenial. Best explanation I have is that at the time of the leaks I was surprised and frustrated at how surprising it was to so many...

I will still leave all my comments up for posterity because if anything, I want others to learn from my mistakes.

Edit: FWIW, the "sucking off the Kremlin" was intended more in the sense that now he has to play by others' rules instead of living the life he deserves. I do see how homophobic such a stupid phrasing is and will refrain from going so vulgar in future.
