Humour is a powerful social tool.
Not every gay joke comes from disgust and panic on the recent comedy scene; it often comes from highlighting stereotypes, good-natured playing on these, but also - and probably most powerfully - taking the complete and utter piss out of people's prejudices and intolerances.

if people say “no homo,” can I say “yes homo”?
So, I was reading through my comments the other day when I came across one that really disturbed me…This girl is really pretty. NO HOMO. I know what you’re thinking “It’s 2012 who still says that”. I thought the same thing too. But for those of you who don’t know. No Homo is a qualifier that is used to assure your present company that you are not in fact a homosexual. Because this phrase makes my skin crawl. I decided to make up a few qualifiers of my own and with your help I hope that I can make these really popular in 2012. - Chescaleigh

The sad thing is that parents actually think this type of thing happens.
They blame clothes, books, teachers, music, the media, and so forth when they find out that their child is gay.
The awesome thing is that they still turned out to have a wonderful life together. :’D
Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)

Behold Finnish presidental campaing adds: First strip: “What are your thought on two-rounded-elections?” Second strip: “I have always done better on the second lap (varvi can be understood as a cycle or as a dick)” Third strip: “That’s what you always do”.
leivanpaahdin (submitter): AND GUESS WHAT? PEKKA HAAVISTO GOT TO THE SECOND ROUND BEEING THE FIRST MEMBER OF THE GREEN PARTY AND THE FIRST GAY TO EVER COMPETE AT THE SECOND ROUND OF FINNISH PRESIDENTAL ELECTIONS. This is just too good. Oh and that small guy at the last strip, that’s Pekka’s husband Alexsander.
PC is a old gay, who wears traditional and formal. Mac is a young gay, who looks modern and informal. On the other side, Mac is lighter than PC, because the old gay is fatter than young gay. In conclusion, APPLE used this form of comparison to show the benefits of Mac.
