Most people liking or sharing them aren’t thinking about it any more than “haha, he’s owned cause he’s gay”.

You can spend all day convincing yourself that your specific way of thinking about it isn’t racist/homophobic, but when you share this shit online all that stuff stays in your head, and you’re just spreading bigotry.
