You could probably argue that the earlier you got the more taboo it was to include gay jokes and that as the window shifted it became okay to joke about.
Take something everyone should (hopefully) view as taboo like pedophilia. Sure, you can make jokes about "these look like pedophile glasses" or the like, but it's generally raunchier. More of the type of thing you'd see in PG-13 / R movies. You could perhaps say that as it became more normal to be gay, more people made jokes about it in more media? But it's not like I have any sort of statistics on this lol.
