I agree that it's an old joke, and not laugh out loud hilarious, but telling a joke like that does not make you a homophobe. I tell sexist (anti-female and anti-female, where does that leave me?), racist, anti-Irish jokes, anti-religion jokes, ageist jokes, all sorts of discriminatory jokes. But, that is not a relfection on what I think of each of those groups. And anyone who beleives that it is, is pretty narrow-minded. They just happen to be funny jokes. Get over it.
