Gay memem
It was 4am, and here we are, the two of us on our phones, scrolling through our Twitter and Instagram feeds, chuckling away at hilarious gay memes.
“Check this one out!” Seby called out holding up his cell to show off a picture of SpongeBob SquarePants holding up his limp wrist with a caption, “Is he…you know?”…Cue both of us giggling favor schoolgirls.
Wouldn’t the Internet be a dark, scary place if it weren’t for memes? And yet, it's still a place of love, acceptance, and inclusivity – where people of marginalized groups can find each other and make connections.
Sharing funny memes has become a crucial part of how friends and strangers communicate online. And that especially can be found in the gay groups online. After all, we experience the world a lot differently than our straight peers, so naturally, we acquire our own brand of humor that gets position into gay memes. Whenever a pop diva does something wild or a hσmσphσbic politician embarrasses themselves, it creates a whole new set of memes like coal turns to diamonds!

Nick Offerman Slams Anti-Gay ‘Parks & Recreation’ Meme: “Dumb F***”
Logo text
Nick Offerman has criticized a right-wing media figure for turning a Parks and Recreation meme into an anti-gay slam.
Michael Flynn Jr. — son of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn — posted a clip of Offerman’s character Ron Swanson from the NBC comedy. In the clip, Swanson throws a notebook into a dumpster. In Flynn’s version posted on X, an LGBTQ+ celebration flag was placed over the computer. Flynn wrote, “Good morning and Joyful Sunday! … Just wanted to post how I feel about ‘pride’ month.”
Offerman responded to the meme on Monday, writing, “Ron was finest man at a homosexual wedding you dumb fuck. #HappyPride.”
In addition to his role on Parks, Offerman won his first Emmy for his acclaimed guest role on HBO’s The Last of Us in the episode“Long, Long Time,” where he played a gay survivalist who forms his first queer relationship with another man.
The role resulted in some backlash from some of his fans, an issue he addressed when he won an Independent Spirit Award.
