Thanks for the correction.
Actually I think since the new Duden came out the umlaut (and the schloss) are no longer part of the rechtschreibung in Germany, either.
It’s all exiled to the territory of heavy metal bands and snooty artistes now.
No, he doesn’t promote homophobia, quite the opposite. Cohen is using the alter-ego to hold a mirror up to America’s twisted view of sexuality. Borat did the same for xenophobia. The man is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal Cambridge graduate, whose abrasive style isn’t everyone’s cup of oolong, but he’s deceptively subversive.
Dude, he is not homophobic. He’s an equally opportunity satirist. He uses gay panic in the straight world as a cudgel against it. You’re the P.C. type who would reduce all entertainment to the level of Care Bears.

Looks hilarous!

Cohen is brilliant. He is holding the mirror in front of our societies face.
