1. The argument that Sedaris makes about sexuality, stereotypes, and intolerance, is that those who aren't aware of all the sides of a situation, tend to be more judgmental about things. In his piece, he's referring to gay people. Those who do not support this lifestyle might be negative or stereotype every gay person into a negative group, etc.
2. Sedaris uses humor to make Audrey seem ignorant. Humor was a good rhetorical tool because it portrayed his point, but it also gave it a more accepting tone. If he would have taken a different route and used anger, it might have been a harder piece to read, and understand.
