What's wrong with that?

Didn’t you get that joke?

The fact that he HAD to say “not that there’s anything wrong with that” every time he mentioned gay people was itself mocking them for being so thin-skinned.

...

Thus implying that there really is something not quite right about it, if the line is taken in context the way it was said on the show.

. . . which was mocking political correctness. You saw that episode, right? It was one of the few I've seen, and it was side-splitting. All the characters find themselves forced by circumstance to refer to one or another disgusting, awkward, or ridiculous aspect of gay-hood and its subculture—but then feels obliged to add, at the end of the sentence ". . . not that there's anything wrong with that." It gets funnier with each repetition.

Back even as late as the 1990’s, the Seinfeld show could make fun of just about anything, including gays. Fast forward 15+ years and the PC crowd has whittled down the number of things one can joke about to zero. The PC crowd is really all about browbeating anyone over the slightest transgression of an ever growing list of possible transgressions; their real motive being an obsession with controlling others. What a humorless society we’ve become.
