Queerty traced the meme's origins to early September, when one man's tweet about delayed exploration went viral. The meme covers so much ground that any given LGBT reader is pretty much guaranteed to find at least one ever so #relatable.
On Twitter, LGBT users have been trying to answer a simple question: What is gay culture? Considering Twitter's 140 character limit, the answers have managed to be surprisingly complex, ranging from the lighthearted to the oh-god-where's-the-tissue-box. The LGBT community has been at the center of more than a few memes over the years, but in the past few weeks, the culture itself has become the meme. Most of all, it's difficult to define, but the 'gay culture is' meme can give you a good idea of what it's like to be LGBT in the modern day - the ups, downs, and Grindr mishaps. It's making Ken dolls kiss and weighing the costs of coming out of the closet. It's lonely teenage nights and infinitely explaining that no, you and your girlfriend aren't sisters. Gay culture is far more than glitter, parades, and the Babadook.
