This is my Peter, friend Peter! We just now ran into each other, here at the intersexual . . . homosection . . . intersection!

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker is flustered while introducing a friend, and the sentence trips over itself. Reaching for 'intersection', the words stumble through 'intersexual' and 'homosection' first. The humour comes from hearing the swerves in real time as the speaker tries to sound cheerful and casual and fails.
