A group of bicyclists was working their way along a large bridge. When they get to the middle, they spot this gorgeous young woman, apparently getting ready to jump.
"What are you doing!!" the leader of the bicyclists asks.
"I'm going to commit suicide," she says.
While he doesn’t want to appear insensitive, he also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity, so he asks, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"
She responds by giving him a long, deep, soulful lingering kiss.
The shaken rider, gasping for breath says "Oh my GOD! That was the most amazing kiss I’ve ever had! And I just have to ask why world would you even contemplate committing suicide?"
The would-be jumper replied "Well it all started when my parents decided I shouldn't be dressing up like a girl…"

You forgot the punch line:
"So, the bicyclist jumped."

And then the miserably unhappy boy that dressed like a girl completed his/her planned suicide. The remaining bicyclists, confused by the whole episode, pedaled away lost in their thoughts. A truck hit them.

They say it's never to late to keep your mouth shut so that's what I will do on this one.

Paul and Terry hinted at what I found appealing about this joke...the fact that there is actually a pretty serious message underneath the squick factor.

It's become the new "thing", huh? You're either outraged or you're a bigot.
When did things become so simple?

You forgot the punch line: "So, the bicyclist jumped." So, I still think turning the whole situation on it's head (as I think I did) calls into question every assumption. It points the butt of the joke back at the bigoted premise. The TV should walk away with a smile on his/her face and a new lease on life.

Most humor is based on someone's pain/discomfort. But that is bigoted. Humor and PC can't coexist.

I can't wait until we've watered the term "bigotry" down so far that it becomes so meaningless that at some future date the real need arises to create a new word to describe its reality.

If the joke is supposed to be about a guy kissing a guy, it seems like an awkward re-telling of the old classic:
A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver can’t stop staring at her. She asks him why is he staring, and he replies, ''I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.” She answers, 'My dear son, when you've been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'' ''Well, I've always had a fantasy to kiss a nun.'' She responds, ''Well, let's see what we can do about that: first, you have to be single and second, you must be Catholic.'' The cab driver gets very excited and says, ''I am single and I'm Catholic too!'' The nun says ''OK, pull into the next alley.'' He does and the nun fulfills his fantasy. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. ''My dear child, says the nun, why are you crying?'' ''Forgive me sister, but I have sinned. I must confess, I lied - I'm married and I'm Jewish.'' The nun says, ''That's OK, my name is Kevin and I'm on my way to a Halloween party.''
