Okay, well, the best thing we could do is address the issue of homophobia so that no one feels the need to "pause" anymore. It's not necessary to satirize what two humans do with themselves. Accidently saying something that can be interpreted as gay does not make you gay, and always having a radar out for speech so you can call out "pause" suggests you've got something on your own mind.
