I don't feel Colbert was making a "Haha Trump and Putin are Gay" joke. I feel he was using an intimate act such as oral sex to express just how deep Trumps ties to Putin are. Saying Putin has his dick in Trumps mouth is a very extreme way of saying his hands are deep in his pockets or he has his "finger in many pies". The fact that he said "cock holster" is simply for shock value. I still don't feel it was making fun of homosexuality.
