I reacted by laughing.

I thought it was funny but I think it might be because I was caught off guard by a silly insult in the context of a serious accusation of homophobia.  It's not hilarious but does work as a joke.

I don't know if it's in poor taste, maybe. 

I don't think it's homophobic in and of itself because it's not prejudice towards homosexuals or necesserily showing a dislike of homosexuals.  The person making the comment could very well be a gay man.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
