9. The 鈥渨tf is a gay stereotype鈥 meme
Sometimes you want to laugh at funny queer memes, but it鈥檚 so far removed from your reality. For instance, if you liked folding the arm of your t-shirt as a Nigerian child, the t-shirt probably wasn鈥檛 your size. But outside, it鈥檚 a lesbian thing.
10. The 鈥淔or here?鈥 meme
When pride month begins, and the abroad queers start making jokes about how corporations change their logos, all you can do is laugh because honestly, for here?
