Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, failed to initially properly report more than half a million dollars in income from his anti-vax nonprofit and a law firm employer, according to new filings with U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

It's a metaphor. If you think literal penis factors into the previous comment at all, you're missing the ball completely.

And isn't that metaphor implying is a deep humiliation to have a dick in your mouth, reserved for gay men and women?

I take it more to mean a subservient relationship. Metaphorically sucking someone's dick implies that the sucker is both intimately engaged and very much serving the interest of that person.

I get that you're calling attention to the almost certain homophobic origin of sucking dick being an insult, but the usage here doesn't seem to be a problem to me.
