People don't say "thate gay anymore?" God I must be old. (Im bi)

It's understandable that you're more comfortable joking about it since you've experienced it but for the ones that aren't homosexual or bi but still support them it's a sensitive subject since some of their loved ones might have been hurt over it or actually joking about it makes them seem like homophobic. It's like racism kinda? The only ones suitable to joke about a nation are the people in it
