Given that there is still a lot of social stigma attached to homosexuality, and this person was almost certainly aware of that (I know people live in 'bubbles' sometimes and like to think everything's all la-di-da) if not intentionally drawing upon that to be even more provocative than necessary, yes, I'd say it's homophobic. At the very least, situations where people who are afraid to come out of the closet and start heterosexual marriages are being made light of. I have a close friend who spent decades in that kind of double life and seeing how it's affected his entire life is just heartbreaking. So for someone to just throw around mockery of that so casually without a thought to the reality of it, and seeing so many others also not have that occur to them, it's totally messed up.
The late, great Bill Hicks had a bit in one of his stand-up routines where he came up with a less intolerant yet still crude and hilarious way to imply that someone ought never to have been conceived: "You should have been a blowjob."

Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
