Wow it's like a homophobic lasagna. My heart goes out to you, gay Brazilians

Yup, that's accurate. Welcome to Latin America and its macho culture. People don't even get why those jokes are bad. Then when the LGBTQ+ community correctly points out that "a piada mata mais do que a bala" (the joke kills more often than the bullet), the default popular reaction is to claim "waaah they're overreacting" (spoilers: they aren't).
