The joke is that the bible says they should be stoned as in having stones thrown at them, not the other meaning.
Anyway, the people of biblical times didn’t have a concept of homosexuality so it doesn’t make sense to say they condemned it. They condemned male same sex activities as much as wearing clothes of different materials and many Christians come to the conclusion that both is fine. But if you have hatred in your heart, you will skip “love your neighbor” and select the few passages that can be interpreted hatefully.
I get the joke but I’m not sure the Bible actually says those words “a man who lays with a man should be stoned”. I know it says men shouldn’t lay with men.
Edit: just googled Leviticus 20:13, it says they’ve committed an abomination and should die. It doesn’t say stoned.
