I don't think it's okay to use the word "gay" pejoratively, even when there aren't any queers in the room. That's the whole point of an insult. I don't think it's okay to make rape jokes, even when there aren't any women around. I don't think you understand how comedy works. In many ways, it's a coping mechanism. The jokes we laugh at are often quite depressing or disturbing if you try to elucidate their underlying subject matter, but they're presented in such a manner that we can be humored by and cope with the dark side of life. Not making jokes of X type is just censorship and idiocy. Comedy has no boundaries. I don't think it's okay to behave or speak in a way that is deliberately and hurtfully exclusive of anyone, for any reason, at any time. I can agree with that, but the way you put it is excessively vague.
