The same way TNR runs misogynist pieces written by right wing women.
It's to claim "but [said piece] was written by a [woman, POC, gay] so it can't be [misogynist, racist, homophobic]."
The references to Buttigieg as "Mary Pete" alone should have killed it.

Publishing this piece was designed to demean the 1st out gay candidate--not on policy, but by making repugnantly homophobic suggestions about Buttigieg's sex positions.
Reducing Buttigieg--a Rhodes scholar & Afghanistan vet--to a homophobic trope as femme gay man is ugly af.

The whole predicate of homophobia is that gay men aren't masculine enough, that if they are sexually passive, they are like women. It's where a woman-hating culture expands to include men who aren't heterosexual.
The fact is, internalized homophobia is still homophobia.
