It is not a question of reference to human sexuality only. It is a
question of saying that a particular (non-)sexuality status is something
that shall be fixed, as if it was shameful. It's the fact that the joke
is based the assumption that the person at stake has a problem to be
fixed which is an issue. I remember a particularly hilarious talk that
was comparing writing software with having sex, and was thus _full_ of
sexual references, but didn't contain any question of shame, and thus at
worse could make some people go red, but not get offensed.
