As I understand libel has to be damaging and misleading.
The person who put this up (if he is traceable, which is unlikely) can argue it is both a joke and not damaging. Clearly to assert that being called a homosexual is insulting or damaging is outrageously homophobic. As to damaging his relationship - it must already be shot if his wife believes wikipedia over him in regards to him being in a gay marriage.
Perhaps a case that "the lady doth protest too much"?
