It does sound a little like a Nick Mullen moment but that's definitely not what he meant lol. I'm not Venezuelan, but I'm a Spanish speaker from latam and I've almost never heard anyone use "homo" to mean gay by itself. He was just using it in the taxonomical sense. Not to mention that Maduro is pretty pro-LGBTQ and has wanted to push a more inclusive line in Venezuela but has, if anything, been held back by the rest of the party.

A bit this I think Homo Sovieticus?

Homo Sovieticus (cod Latin for 'Soviet Man') is a pejorative term coined to describe the average conformist individual in the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries.
