I am sorry but id didn't feel like that to me, stereotypes are a thing for a reason other than comedy, it because they actually happen often, and if pointing it out offends people, they should really get a thicker skin.

Click baity title. Only attendees of this one meeting were interviewed, so not well-sourced. Yang's quotes were cringy, sure, because there were so many 'likes' in it, because he wasn't ready to speak specifically to LGBTQ issues. I agree, he should be prepared, but he just seems new to the game, not outrightly offending people. In the article, it even states it just left people cringing, not offended. Sure, he hasn't learned his lesson in being prepared, but this seems like the author really wants him to turn it around, quickly. And for someone who appears so inexperienced in politics, it might be a hard. His actual policy was covered in a single paragraph and then was criticized without any reasoning or source helping to expound on that specific policy.
