Punching down would be making fun of Autism or something like that.

By definition your being prejudice for pointing out that it is "punching down". You are saying that there is a clear difference in LGBTQ people and Straight people and that LGBTQ people are lower on the totem pole. Do you think they would like you defining them in that manner?
I know you worked hard for this gotcha moment, really REALLY hard. But you're not even close. There is still groups within LGBTQ+ that don't have equal rights and ability to live freely. I mean ffs the president last week proposed a rule to allow federally funded homeless shelters to turn away trans / non-gender conforming people. Like what the hell. It was this year that SCOTUS just finally decided you can't discriminate on sexuality and the ilk. Clearly society treats them as lesser.

White straight males are "the man". You attack them, you are punching up. That's just how society is layered. The only comic that I can even think of that nationally gets away with punching down is Dave Chappelle towards "the Ts."
