I cannot *believe* this homophobic "joke".  What are we supposed to
make of this gay bathroom prostitution?  I certainly fail to see any
humor, and find this propagating of hateful stereotypes extremely
offensive.

Please, if Catholics must go on bashing gays, do so in the privacy
of your own churches, not on the net!

Just two questions:
(1) Do you understand that many of your readers are gay, or like gays, or 
both, and for that reason regard those values with contempt?
(2) What was the "joke" doing in net.jokes? 
(3) When do we get the difference-between-a-Jew-and-a-pizza "joke"?
