Did I overreact?

Hi all

I'm curious to get your opinion regarding the following thread in Trip Reports:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum81/HTML/004265.html

Written by a 17 y.o. straight boy, this otherwise entertaining and well-written read included the following references:

First impressions of the cabin were good – gone is the hideous light tone of green which fades famously in favour of a far more soothing and welcoming darker shade. (don’t I sound like a queer interior decorator?)</font>

To all of you Singapore Airlines aficionados, I hope you can sleep straight in your batik sheets even though I’m sure some of you are queer because based on this experience, you have very little to worry about.</font>
Was I over-sensitive to object to these? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the subject, but I think this is a more suitable forum than Trip Reports for the discussion. The author of the report has apologised and obviously didn't mean to offend anyone, so there's no issue there, but I'm interested to know whether you think his original comments were acceptable or not...
