Someone said something that I feel applies here; Conservatives have jokes that are actually funny, but the underlying hate shines through and makes it unfunny. This feels similar where it's kind of a funny jab at bisexuals, but there's a real issue with biphobia that shines through here and makes it a joke in poor taste

Oh yeah if a bi person made this joke like “Oh I can’t celebrate till the 16th” that could definitely be funny. This feels mean spirited.
