Without a doubt it can.
Are some things funnier than others?
I'm not a homophobe but I saw two elderley gay men in town today. One of them had just bought a hat and was so pleased with it, he did a little dance. This made me laugh.
Although I also saw a dog today who looked like it's owner, that was also very funny.

Some threads are.
Some threads are totally pointless and unfunny i.e. most threads from a certain newcomer

I don't think it's homophobic to laugh at gay people. Unless there's fear or hate behind it.
The word 'homophobic' is a bit odd anyway, since it implies that people who don't like gays have an irrational fear of them. I'm sure it's possible to dislike something without fearing it irrationally. 'Anti-homoic' might be better, to keep in line with things like 'antisemetic'.
It is a fear normally though. A secret fear that they're gay or the fear that they're gonna get bummed.

She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you
