Its bad, but thats just the nature of societal growth and change.
As a kid Gay jokes and Homophobic slurs were common. So common in fact that you didnt even think about them. At that point kids just didnt know any better.
There is this amazing thing that happens though...people grow up. They become wiser and more intelligent. Its how social change happens.

Not just kids.
It is really illuminating when you watch 1980s or '90s sit-coms just how prevalent and socially encouraged homopgobic slurs were. It is a weird experience of remembering how much I loved this show, to feeling embarrassed about how much of what passed for "funny" was at the expense of the gay community.
