Yes and no. While it's a funny bit, what the dead comedian fails to acknowledge is that there's a difference between being proud of your son who happens to be gay vs being proud of your son because he's gay. More likely the situation is the former rather than the latter, because many parents would be ashamed of having a gay child. (Ask any rapper.)
What's more to your point about weakness and celebrating it, IMO, is more like this news:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/23/biden-emmett-till-national-monument
Look, the torture and murder of Emmett Till was a horrible criminal act. But making a monument to someone who's only known contribution to society was being a murder victim is a different thing altogether.
Which is why I appreciated how the Biden admin since clarified it was to Emmett and his mother. Because that heinous crime was a watershed to the modern civil rights movement, and his mother suffered much to bear that hatred and vitriol.
But still...Emmett? A kid who oogled a white lady and got lynched for it as worthy of a monument? What next, whistlers and catcallers at NYC construction sites getting their own monuments?
Who says it's with his wife?

I'm not sure I'd equate being gay with alcoholism though. Most gay people I know say how life would be so much easier if they weren't, but it's not like they ever had the "choice". Any more than I like vanilla ice cream more than chocolate. Or The Pado loves tranny hookers more than PTA board members.
Despite the pastors with electrodes attached to their gonads.
One of my best friends has a daughter who's "ace", and he makes a point that he's no less proud of her. Aces aren't exactly strung up like gays are, but I get that he doesn't want to her to feel she's a broken person because of that. (You also have to realize how many wives and bad romantic decisions my friend has made in his life. I can't say I blame her for getting the ick.)
