Just to clarify, it's not "just words" in this particular example. Click on the link. There's a nice picture on the shirt that removes all ambiguity:

With that in mind, we can ask a purer question: Should a comment that denigrates a particular subculture be censored?

Personally, I think it depends on the subculture. Homosexuals are still dealing with too much bigotry, and subjected to too many stereotypes, for this kind of thing to be okay. I'm all for edgy humor in my personal life. I've made enemies because of it. But there are some things that you don't joke about because the issues they're connected to are still too fucked up.
