I wouldn't call it homophobic, but there are a few jokes that haven't aged super gracefully. Mostly related to Joey's character from what I remember (I just rewatched it on Netflix last year).
I’m not sure who Joey is unless you’re thinking of Friends? I could see it there more than in Seinfeld.

Did your mother? Because ok, yes, we have a winner. A mom who mopped the floor wearing heels and pearls and perfect makeup.
How do Ya'll know how it was when/where I lived?????? I was born in 1951 in the deep South. Think Mayberry. I don't question others' veracity, please don't question mine.
Actually, my mom had no pearls, but she did mop the floor dressed up for work. Most families in my block had stay at home moms, as did my cousins who lived nearby, we never locked our doors. I walked to school, times were gentler, the pace was slower, in the 60s everything changed.

May I make a suggestion? Use this phrase to disarm them: "You're invalidating my lived experience."

I don't question that your specific experience was that. I question that it was for the majority of people.
But you're right, I wasn't there, so I don't know. My parents (and aunts and uncles) were, and they definitely have told me it wasn't like that at all. Keep in mind, this is the Midwest, not the deep South.
One of the best comedy shows of all time and not even safe from millennials.

“Seinfeld” might offend young people, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Millennial-focused website Bustle is taking heat for publishing a listicle that examines all the reasons why “Seinfeld” would be a little too edgy in the modern climate of policing everything that isn’t deemed politically correct.
Many millennials are almost 40 years old and grew up on Seinfeld as a mainstay. Literally 0 millennials I know are offended by Seinfeld.
I guess you can choose to find any old website on the internet that posts something controversial and get upset about it. But that doesn't mean it represents the vast majority of 80 million people.
"I'm sure if you ask enough people someone will even claim the weather forecasts on TV are offensive."
yeah, with all that Black ice on the roads with the Chinook winds, and the Mammatus clouds.
Not to mention people hoping for a White Christmas.
