It’s common for people to ask others for advice on social media. But apparently there’s a hilarious joke trending on Twitter where men ask other guys whether their everyday actions are unintentionally gay. These questions all start with the phrase, “Fellas, is it gay…?”
The joking question apparently originated in 2007 when a male Twitter user asked it was gay to like the 20-something CW drama One Tree Hill. But it has since re-emerged as a self-effacing way to poke fun at fragile masculinity and the ridiculous notion that any action could instantly turn straight men gay.

Another post asked if it’s gay to make money, seeing as it’s basically collecting pictures of men.
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.
And to all these questions, we say, yes. Everyone’s gay now. Deal with it.

You use this word “hilarious”. I don’t think this word means what you think it means.

Queerty needs to buy a stack of dictionaries for its staff.

I see why they have that reputation.
