On FB I follow several local LGBT groups, and across the board the commenters (i.e., members of the respective groups) are declaring this a non-issue. As one put it "He didn't say anything that we in the community haven't already said."

Certainly I don't hold these posters responsible for the views of the entire LGBT community, but as an outsider and (hopefully) ally, I am happy to follow their lead. If they see and accept Colbert's joke as a joke, then that's probably good enough for me.
