What it means

A social media screenshot shows a Mental Floss post about homosexuality being classified as an illness in Sweden in 1979, followed by a chat exchange. One person makes a pun by saying they are “disabled” if homosexuality is an illness, then denies being gay when asked, creating an absurd and politically incorrect joke. It is shared as a reaction to dark humor or ridiculous wordplay.
