At the risk of being accused of being humor impaired, I have to say that I 
can't imagine laughing at a gay guy about to commit suicide because he had 
been outed.

I can't see how this would be funny to anybody unless they had preconditioned 
to think gays are funny, gays are unusual, and gays should be ashamed of 
themselves.  Without those prerequisites, this joke simply doesn't make any 
sense.

Seriously, try making this joke about a heterosexual and see if it can in any 
way be made funny.  If not, the alleged humor lies in laughing at gays rather 
than laughing at something inherent in the joke itself.
