Oh Steve, I hope you had a chance to help this young man. I think a conversation with a man he looks up to would do him a world of good. It is hard for some young men to socially mature, even when they have a good example to reference.  It sounds like he may have to work harder than many to find that example.
 

He made an off-color joke to the wrong crowd at the wrong time. Who among us hasn’t, right?  I would bet he feels bad but has nowhere to put those feelings. Shame is one of the real ugly, scary ones we would all rather hide. 
 

Obviously this isn’t your fault or your doing, but I feel like this is an opportunity to selflessly put a little compassion in the world. 
 

Sorry it had to be you, buddy, but that’s the price you pay for caring about people.  

As a follow up. We did have a great talk. He was completely unaware of how offensive I took it. He also quoted me back to me, when I told him that gay men love gay jokes more than anyone. After I explained my experience with that hellish disease he actually started tearing up and apologized profusely. He really had no idea. He even gave me a hug, which cemented that he didn't mean to offend me in any way. I'm too sensitive about that subject, I'm certain. But all is well.
