Since it is so hard for people to understand, NO, I am not personally offended by such "jokes." I do, however, worry about the effect on young or closeted people when high-profile comedians on an open platform like Twitter or TV, repeatedly make being gay the punchline of jokes.

And don’t forget about
@StephenAtHome comments last year. Pretty much same joke -
Um, yes. Last year. Those were both on Friday, which is why I talked about them both on Friday. Those comments were discussed then.

Just don’t want people to forget. I’m sick of people who say they are allies to my community (gay) and use us as a punchline

He's typical of the neoliberal shills on TV who feign compassion & progressivism while shaming & wagging their fingers at people who really *are* that. People like Kimmel, Colbert & Maher are out-of-touch neoliberal elitists protecting the status quo of our corrupt establishment.

no, the joke is: the person being made fun of is a homophobic bigot who would hate it to be considered or compared to being gay. these jokes are punching up at bigots. I'm not here to knock anyone for finding the joke distasteful or offensive but lets understand
-
and be clear about WHO the joke is punching at.

The Trump Family is like the Manson Family...but without the laughs. You don't have to go gay. The 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Bates Motel gives you a lot of options.

Being "in bed with" is the obvious implication. Why is this derogatory towards homosexuals?
