The thing is, some people are gay.
And the important word in that sentence is "people".
Sarcasm isn't invisible on the internet, but neither are good manners. I'd hope you wouldn't walk into a crowd of strangers and start making homophobic jokes without knowing anything at all about who you were talking to. Actually I'm fairly sure you wouldn't. It was clearly a joke, but dead baby jokes are clearly jokes and they still make me want to punch something.
my moms gay, my best friend in high school was gay (he moved)
and I'm sure they would both find that hilarious. but they arent holier than thou Political correctness nuts.
they can tell that in a joke like that.
the statement is not whats funny.
but the fact that a person would think like that is
they would laugh at the character. not at what he said.
like pretty much any cartoon dad on TV in the last 8 years.
but then they couldn't show everyone how modern and open minded they all are.
pity.
P.S.
So a dead baby walks into a bar...
