Quite agree, humour depends on how its meant not the content. Despite whats written in the right wing press ,there is still discrimination legally towards gays. Gay couples don 't have the same rights re: inherintance tax, and income tax in general, even if they' ve been together years. The gay rights lobbies did help change the law re: equal age of consent, & help to decriminalize homosexuality [for men only, over 21,] in 1967- It was never illegal for a woman to want to drive a bus! [joke!] Also gay visibility is good because every one presumes every one is straight unless they are screamingly camp, so most people don' t know they know a gay person, when in fact their hairdresser may in fact be gay!
