Yes it is, it's the guy from the radio interview you posted the other day.
It was an insensitive comparison, and I can see how it might make some young people feel uncomfortable if they identify as gay themselves, or even if they don't there's the connotation is is something to be repulsed by.
Sharing a personal opinion in the course of a lecture is fine but it's important to ensure you don't say anything indirectly insulting.
The student was well within her rights to express her discomfort, for him to then literally broadcast his objection to being challenged and the emotive language he uses while doing it is telling.
Again here he discredits a whole generation :/
Trigger warnings are not a new thing, they are on programming on sensitive subjects and news reports so where's the issue?
