QI - The Perception of Accents

hate the "gaydar" joke. stuff like this is what gives homophobes credit.
I'm honestly not sure how the joke was homophobic. Obviously Fry didn't seem to think so. What's your take on it?
I just don't think it's a good idea to make jokes about minorities whose members already find themselves constantly bullied in a "normal" (i.e. no David Chapelle or similar "rude" humor enviroment) show such as QI. The more bullies see this humor on regular TV, the more they think it's OK to make such jokes in their own daily life.
Ah well, maybe i'm oversensitive but i think homophobia definitely is a serious and pressing issue.
Didn't he just say something about them inventing "gaydar instead of radar"? Seemed fine to me and I wasn't aware that was a homophobic term. I've used it myself quite often along with friends and I can honestly say no one has ever sought to correct that.
I assumed it was in common usage by the gay community as well but that's only my assumption.

You're most welcome. When I saw it sitting there with 9 votes and just about to expire, I knew a grave injustice was going to take place unless I acted. I'm such a hero.
