An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

=========

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

I dunno man, I just read the tweet and said "I feel that." I'll grant you I feel it in a different way and even allow that it's not to the extent of a gay or trans or queer person.

I'm also not gonna sit there and say I have friends who are gay. I do, but I wish I had more. I have a niece who had a friend in school who was trans. The friend's parents made them dress like their birth assigned sex, and my niece and her friends would bring them the clothes they wanted to wear. It was awesome. They're all grown now. I'll have to ask her if she still talks to that person. I wish I had friends like that, experiences like that growing up.

But I'm just me, and I try to be an ally, but at the end of the day, I'm just me. I can relate, but maybe my experiences aren't the same. I don't think they have to be, though. To say I feel ya, no judgment here.
