Bit of a leap there- I made an observation and at no point did I insult anyone.

They were offended. They were just too scared of your reaction by stating it.
"Can't take a joke" is the usual answer for those who don't give a crap about other people.
If you belittle someone's existence then you are harming them.
The usual thought experiment applies. If you tell a trans joke that you wouldn't have told about a person of colour or a disabled person or any other "target" then the bigotry is still there, it's only the target has changed.

I remember when it was acceptable to punch down and make jokes about women, minorities, LGBT people and whoever else because there was no way for them (or people who weren't part of that group but didn't find it acceptable either) to respond to the people with the microphone to tell them how unfunny it was. I'm quite happy we don't live in that world any more.
People who tell offensive jokes just to "ruffle feathers" aren't brave culture warriors, they're arseholes advertising the fact that they don't give a shit about anyone who isn't like them.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
The fact that other countries describe those who support the rights of others in a different way does not change the concept.
Bleeding Heart Liberals was a previous version. Language changes over time.
I can name 3 people in my extended family who thinks the OP shouldn’t have any rights at all. Their views on trans people are even worse.

And that is precisely why Gervais needs to parody these idiots. He is holding a mirror up to society and the only thing that is objectionable is the mirrored image.

I feel like I need to watch the programme - much like the Jimmy Carr one a few months back - to see what he actually said, and how he said it, before expressing any opinion.
I'm willing to bet those people think that Alf Garnett is the ''hero'' of Till Death Us Do Part, when in fact he is the butt of every joke in every episode, and never came out on top in any episode.
they'll be saying drummers have feelings next
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Most surprisingly they don’t have a problem with people of colour.
They are actually highly educated professionals. Makes it worse.

Lets no get carried away here, next you'll be saying lefties and gingers should be included in the equality act, and treated like equals.
double bubble for a lot less trouble
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
And Gervais also described himself as a minority "White, heterosexual multi-millionaire."
We mustn't leave them out of the equation.
