What is 70s style gay humour? Like the camp one from Are You Being Served?

Words can hurt.

I know they can, but with someone like that you can ignore them.

The homophobics to watch out for are the ones that will harass you for being gay, and in some cases do even worse.

Okay, can this be the last of the "would you arrests" threads?

In my city, and I should also say country since the case went all the way to the supreme court,there was a rather famous case of a man standing on street corners and harassing people at our University with his hate speeches towards homosexuals.
He was tried by our various court systems as he appealed the ruling against him based on freedom of speech laws, but in the end he lost.

Now, what he did was not "mocking" gay people, but it does address the op's question of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech allowed should not be upheld if it insights hatred to a group of individuals based on their race, religion, sexual preferences etc.
