50 Funny And Relatable Animal Memes To Instantly Improve Your Entire Day (New Pics)

To find out more about Openly Gay Animals, we got in touch with the creator of the account, Emanuel Fappas. He was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share some updates on how his page has been since the last time we featured it.

"It has been a fun and unexpected ride," the creator says. "The page has grown a lot, with many new followers and ongoing support from people who enjoy the relatable and playful energy. Some posts have taken off more than I expected, and it has been exciting to see how far they spread online. Instagram is always changing, so I have been experimenting with new tools. Adding music has made a big difference lately. When the audio fits the mood of the image, it really helps push the content further."

We were also curious about how Emanual decides which images to post on Openly Gay Animals. "I go with what makes me laugh right away. If I see a photo and a voice or personality instantly pops into my head, I know it will work," he shared.

"I have made a lot of memes in the past that still circulate online, so I like to mix in a variation of my own as well. While animal content is the heart of the brand, I also post non-animal memes when they fit the tone," the creator continued. "Anything that feels emotionally specific, overly dramatic, or highly relatable usually makes the cut. If it feels like something your chaotic friend would send at two in the morning, it probably belongs on the page."

"We are also a community, so we love to repost other content creators," Emanuel added. "It is always great to see how excited people get when they are featured. Many of them say they get a real boost when their post is shared, and that kind of mutual support is something we really value. It is all about building a community that uplifts each other while keeping things funny and fun."

When it comes to the creator's favorite posts, he says one that stands out is a small monkey receiving an orange with a caption reading: Seeing my sister happy is priceless. "The energy was pure fun, and people loved it," Emanuel shared.

So what's next for the future of Openly Gay Animals? "I recently launched OpenlyGayAnimals.com, where the animals now live on T-shirts, hoodies and more," Emanuel told Bored Panda. "Some celebrities have purchased our shirts and that’s great! They are great quality. I am also working on bringing the same kind of humor into short-form video, which has been a fun challenge. There are more things in the works."

And finally, the creator wanted to give a thank you to everyone who connects with the page. "Openly Gay Animals is about being funny and relatable. It is about building a community and making people laugh, especially during a time when a lot of people need cheering up," he shared. "The world can feel like a dark place sometimes, and if even for a moment someone visits the page and it brings them joy, then I feel good about that. That is what keeps me going. I am really grateful that this idea continues to bring people joy."
