Gay people and their silly little incisive tweets about gay people! At least, we assume LGBTQ Twitter users are behind the observant posts you see below. And if they’re cis-het, well, a read is a read.
Tweets beginning with “gay people and their…” have run rampant this week after one user wrote, “Gay people and their four-letter names.”
(In response, another Twitter user said that it’s more like four-to-five-letter names: “Raine, Amity, Moon, Noah, Luca, Thami—literally all my friends have four- and five-letter-long names, bro.”)
But people have been calling out gay tropes for months now—the way we wear oversized sweatshirts or “silly little striped shirts,” the way we carry “big-ass tote bags,” the way we sit (or don’t sit) in chairs, etc.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Behold some of our favorite iterations of this meme:

same. “gay people and their gray hoodies” girl what ?
still_onthemark
Uh… most people in the world have four or five letter names?
If anything, gay men tend to go the other way: I’ve met dozens of gay Anthonys and Michaels but it’s rare to meet a gay Tony or Mike.

Pleased to meet you still_onthemark!

What part of this article is funny? Quite frankly I find it borderline offensive.
