It's typical of people to accuse anyone who does give instant glowing praise to LGBT people of homophobia.

Simon is not homophobic. If he was, he certainly would've trounced Brian Justin Crum's chances of auditioning, finishing in 4th place and his appearance on AGT: The Champions before he even auditioned, or the producers would've told him to "take a dive" so that the straight contestants can advance. There are other talented LGBT contestants who did wel on the show before and since.

It just really pisses me off especially in today's climate where people throw around "racist" and "homophobe" to the point of where both words have lost their meaning.
