Okay, so maybe not racist but instead offensive juvenile humor?

Um, yes! You are using 'queer' and 'pansy' as a derogatory comparison 
which falls under the definition for homophobia.

"Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, irrational fear, and hatred."

Since I was unsure myself if you were trying to be offensive or racist,
I would disagree with "everyone can know it wasn't meant as racist".
