Having a joke at somebodies expense is fine, as long as it isn't made in malice.
Get a grip guys, a joke is a joke.
Point well made but not on target. We're not talking about laughing at self or another nor having a joke at someone's expense. I suppose what you are talking about is the very reason why I can still laugh at much of the genious that is comedy; however, what I see we're talking about is covert prejudicial discrimination of culture that lends itself to comedic value at the same time it undermines any effort to overcome the insidious hate it is used to perpetuate.

I laugh at gay jokes all the time, even a couple of mean ones before as they had a surprise twist in them, but this has no surprise, or anything funny, it's just immature. And it's also pointless unless you see being gay as a bad, shameful thing (and thus implying any who are gay should feel bad & ashamed), so yeah, it's also done in malice (if a possibly unthinking one).
