FAKE AND GAY

To ll the vio gay is not a leral sense of the word gay. In this suatn, gay is beg ed to ll somethg stupid. When bed together, "fake and gay" is not only llg the vio stupid but also sayg is clearly fake to be 1: Woah!

Person 2: Fake and gayGet the Fake and gay mug. "fake and gay" is the batn of the two most mon sults the limed vobulary of the stereotypil YouTube troll.

They were mashed together as a parody by popular webshow host RayWilliamJohnson (or RWJ) his onle seri, "=3" then, fantards of the show who are pable of origal w e "fake and gay" as a sort of battle cry, spammg the ments sectn of any vio Ray lks them to- much to the bemement of whoever ma the vid or anyone else who watch . Contrary to popular belief/nial, "fake and gay" was never funny.

FAKE AND GAY MEME GENERATOR

Variatns clu "false and homosexual", while, although slightly funnier, is equally as unorigal. Comment 3: fake and gay. Comment 4: fake and gay.

Comment 5: fake and gay. Comment 6: Oh great, here e the =3 the fake and gay mug. "fake and gay" is somethg subscribers of the youtube channel =3 like to lter all over the ment sectns of youtube vios regardls of whether the vio qutn is actually "fake" and "gay" or not bee the RWJ dron are too stupid to thk of anythg origal or relevant to say and they have this unfortunate misnceptn that repeatg somethg ad neam is actually ol and funny.

FAKE AND GAY

All they managed to do is to make themselv look like a bunch of mdls robotic the fake and gay mug. Fake and gay is a meme that origated om the ment sectn of MentalDiarrhea April of 2016. Drawg on work wh a Malawian LGBTI-rights nonernmental anizatn (NGO), this article’s entry pot is the “fake gay, ” a person who, acrdg to state polil disurse and news media, allegedly fak a margalized sexual inty to ga accs to foreign rourc channeled through NGOs.

For LGBTI-intified persons the NGO’s orb, meanwhile, fake gays—filtratg thentic gays—breed fear and rentment amid circus of srce rource distributn and homophobia. This mythologized figure, rooted racialized arbratns of fake or real, scere or cunng, reveals NGOs, dismissed cril scholarship as “unqueer”—for spreadg homonatnalism, sappg radil agendas by stutnalizg liberal human rights ameworks, and smugglg Euro-Amerin logics of sexual morny—to be unlikely s of queer plexy. In addn to proposg the fake gay as a mo of theory that draws attentn to (queer) world-makg practic wh postlonial aid geographi, this article broans unrstandgs of the (queer) ctomary beyond narrowly fed cultural practic such as ctoms, ruals, and tradns.

THIS PARTY IS EXTREMELY FAKE AND GAY

That's exactly what San Francis-based DJ extraordaire Adam Kraft and drag star Sarah Slay have done for FAKE and GAY. FAKE and GAY started out as a party boostg the hyper-pop and experimental pop scen at The Stud San Francis every third Saturday of the month. Dpe startg as a lolly-based monthly party, FAKE and GAY took on a life of s own and began poppg up ci natnwi.

The party attracts legendary guts, like Quay Dash, um, and Dorian Electra, and recently hosted a DJ set om not officially endorsed or produced by PC Mic, spe vg s star players, FAKE and GAY reprents an entire mographic of people, young and old, who are fascated by the force and weight of the hyper-pop genre. Adam Kraft will be attendance, and NYC guts will clu Momo Sha, Zenobia, Serena Tea, Dip, and ught up Adam Kraft about the party's origs and favore FAKE and GAY moments. FAKE and GAY, as any club night I've started, began as a reactn to the club scene around me.

The name FAKE and GAY stems om an old ter meme as a reactn to the thenticy of somethg posted onle. Like, if people saw somethg dub or looked photoshopped, they'd reply "FAKE and GAY.

" In this se works perfectly bee queerns has also bee trendy and buzz worthy, and I've noticed a lot of anizatns or events claimg to be "queer" and "all clive" wh no real reprentatn outsi of one particular image — most monly cis male gay I wanted to do the oppose. I don't really thk of FAKE and GAY as a gay party, I thk of more as takg certa elements you might expect to see at a typil gay party, but heighteng and amplifyg them, or parodyg them, and also givg more space to femme prence, whatever that may look like.

I am now no longer gay! On the May 6th episo of Meet the Prs, Joe Bin surprised viewers not only by endorsg gay marriage himself, but by attributg historic chang Amerin views of homosexualy to the s- Will and Grace.

THE POWER OF FAKE GAY (AND BLACK) FRIENDS

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report had a field day, wh John Stewart breakg to a show tune about “fict gays” and wh Colbert workg the statement to a montage of Bin gaff—alongsi the vice-print’s claims that ‘jobs’ is a three letter world and that only people wh Indian accents n shop at 7-11. But Bin was actually exprsg the gist of a leadg social scientific explanatn for Ameri’s recent gay-iendly lurch.

Rearch shows that regular ntact wh homosexual iends or fay members is a better predictor of gay-iendly attus than genr, level of tn, age, and even polil or relig affiliatn. When straight viewers watch likeable gay characters on shows like Will and Grace, Morn Fay, Glee, and Six Feet Unr they e to root for them, to empathize wh them--and this seems to shape their attus toward homosexualy the real-world. Studi dite that watchg televisn wh gay iendly them lsens viewer prejudice, wh stronger effects for more prejudiced viewers.

The implitns of the studi extend beyond the issue of homosexualy and bias. Put another way, new rearch don’t jt suggt that fict gays blazed the trail that led to Barrack Obama’s historic endorsement of gay marriage.

FAKE AND GAY PIXEL ART

Recently, seemgly straight male TikTok stars are creatg vios that uld be terpreted as homoerotic, like gog for a kiss, for views and humor.

FUTURE ‘SCIENTIST’ PROCLAIMS SPACE IS ‘TOTALLY FAKE AND GAY’

However, feigng homosexualy to atta viraly both unrm the difficulti of g out and ab queerns as a populary-seekg tool. It was a cute “gay uple reveal” until beme clear that neher were gay and that was fake. But while the modifitn of gay culture should be nmned, is not as black and whe as people may thk.

The 80s and 90s saw a trend of homohysteria, or the fear of beg perceived as gay.

It signifintly impacted behavrs of heterosexual mal, who would do anythg to avoid the stigma of homosexualy.
