Wouldn't it be funny if gay people referred to other gay people as their "colleagues"?

Like imagine going to a pride parade and you see some twink u never met and be Iike, "hey colleague! How're u? How's the bottom job position working for you?"

"Colleague"... That's a funny word...

no.
this is our preferred nomenclature where i work instead of 'employee'. i hear this extensively and dont see the humor in it.
moist; now thats a funny word.
- What's up, my moist!
  
  i think that might get HRs attention
- Damn, moist. That's damp.
- How about a "moist colleague"?
Where's the "funny" part?
- "Colleague". It sounds funny.
  
  Is that not a word you hear very often? Or does it sound like a dirty word or something?
  
  Sure dude... It's a regular laugh riot 🫤
Comrade
You seem very easily amused.
- More like "easily aroused"
  
  colleague
- I have a suspicion OP might be a misplaced peer whom has obtained inappropriate network access.
  
  I obtained inappropriate access to your mom
Oh my god, they're colleagues...
This post was reported for being offensive. Its hard to know what is offensive to all groups of people. "Colleague" is a pretty innocuous term and "twink" seems to be context dependent. It doesn't seem obviously derogatory in this context, "you see some dude" feels similar. I won't take action for now. I'm very open to feedback, being wrong, and learning. Thanks all.
- I don’t think it’s offensive. It just seems to be a bad shower thought. OP shouldn't feel bad for having it but should feel bad for sharing it.
  
  Eh why should I feel bad for sharing it either? I shared it, ppl didn't like it, so they downvoted it. Ok ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
- Is that your weird minimizing way of saying you reported it, or did you somehow learn of a reporting?
  
  I'm a mod, so the latter. I want the reporters to know they are heard, but also I tend to be slow to take action.
