Oh, I guess there's a second point about context too. That the same statement could be offensive in one context and funny/ok in another.

And also that no context makes explaining a joke funny.

I was also concerned about the orchids getting picked but the location is pretty well known and along a signed hiking trail. I can see your point tho'.

On the second point, I certainly can't tell you not to be offended by my statement "pretty fruity even for a flower." It was meant as a gay joke.

But I'd like to think that there's the possibility for jokes about gays (or any group) that aren't destructive but are just funny.

Again, I can't tell you that you should find it funny ... it wasn't, you know, hilarious. But I think there should be the possibility of making jokes about stereotypes that aren't inherently destructive but are instead just about the funniness of there being stereotypes at all.

Two comments:
It is not wise to give site information about where this orchid species grows, for once a site is known to the general public, the plants tend to disappear due to trampling, digging, etc.
Second, I am offended by the homophobic comment by the photographer.
