Personally I find "you are/he/she/it/x,y,z is gay" statements/jokes really lame. The topic matter doesn't seem to be relevant to anything (beyond whom you might want to sleep with/marry, obviously) - does being gay make you a better/worse airline pilot? Does it inhibit your ability to be a software engineer? Are you more likely to step out on to the road in front of an oncoming vehicle? Does it mean you spend 60 mins a day more than heterosexuals watching television? Are Mac users (as one OSNews nit posted recently) gay? Who gives a word-replaced-by-four-asterisks?
