U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin were featured in a homophobic and sexually-charged cartoon that was posted by The New York Times Opinion section on Monday.
With a backdrop of a shirtless Putin portrait, the video opens with President Trump preparing for the Russian president’s arrival to his home.
Putin arrives shirtless, which makes Trump’s heart throb.
The two proceed to go on a car ride. While driving, their hands eventually touch; at which point the car turns into a unicorn.
The bizarre animated video did not stop there.
Further along in their unicorn ride, the two men are shown kissing and wrapping their tongues around one another’s.
The backlash on Twitter was immediate.
So let me get this 100 percent perfectly clear. Its ok to portray homosexuality as wrong and something shameful, if you are doing so to insult and denigrate President Trump. This article is a hate crime, so much for your tolerance and inclusivity.

As if this weren’t bad enough, you then stooped to include “teenager’s bedroom” and “forbidden romance”.
You are SERIOUSLY making light of pedophilia now?
Heads better roll up in your HR Dept.
