Some are so deep that they hit me right in the gut and get stuck in my head for weeks. Some make me sit back in my seat and contemplate my feelings for hours. Because I have been a big ol’ homo this whole time!Įvery day, lesbian memes send me into a “That’s So Raven” style vision, but it’s a flashback to some gay shit that I did in the past that I didn’t even realize was so effing gay. I found out there was a reason why all of the goth girl cartoons were my favorite and why I struggled with trying to walk the seemingly thin line of platonic affection and “acting weird” towards my friends. I feverishly followed as many accounts as I could in an attempt to replace the complete lack of lesbians in my real life and religiously checked for new posts and Instagram stories to see what new thing I could learn about myself. It was so surreal to find that not only did other people have the same experience that I did, they were able to articulate it in such a short, funny, and succinct way that answered so many questions that had plagued me for years.
I found myself in a rabbit hole of lesbian memes that had me laughing until I was crying but also actually crying.
Once Instagram figured out that I was gay, my explore page was inundated with lesbian content.
