From what i’ve seen from the modlog, I would expect a joke that revolved around dad referencing sex with mom (or their sexuality at all) would also get removed.
Note that I don’t personally agree with the rule, it’s just a rule I don’t see as problematic, nor being enforced unfairly.
Why don’t you have a problem with “bisexual” not being considered “gay”? Because you’ve decided that’s okay. And I don’t disagree necessarily, because for example we have LGBTQ+ which separates out the letters. But if you reduce that to a single word, it would probably be “gay”, meaning that bisexuality is also gay.
I’m sure it would surprise some of the commentors calling me a bigot to learn that my wife is bisexual. Not that you can’t have members of some class being bigots. But I’d imagine it would sitll surprise them. Nor do most people who don’t actually give a shit about the conversation and who are just looking for a convenient target to hate care much either. Which is not you, which is why I gave you an actual reply.

Where in the OP does it talk about having sex?

This has nothing to do with this post. To clarify though, I’m a bisexual woman. Sometimes I call myself gay, but it’s not quite the right term. And you don’t get to dictate what someone identifies as for their sexual orientation.
There is nothing inherently sexual about the original post.
But this isn’t a joke about sex. This is a joke about romantic orientation - which usually coincides with one’s sexual orientation, sure, but they aren’t the same thing.
Saying that queerness is inherently sexual is a bigoted stance to take, and it’s a bad look if you’re defending it. And that remains true even if you have a queer partner or even if you’re queer yourself. Since you want to use having a queer partner as a defense for your logic, why don’t you ask her what she thinks of this situation? She may not agree with your take on it.
