It's not always easy being queer in a world that hasn’t quite caught up. But between the activism, the self-discovery, and the constant emotional whiplash of existing under late-stage capitalism, sometimes what we really need is a meme about how our gender identity changes depending on the lighting. Or one that captures the feeling of coming out to your pet before telling your family.
We’ve gathered the best LGBTQ+ memes from this dedicated Instagram page. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the most relatable examples and be sure to share your own thoughts and ideas in the comments section down below.

When I came out as a lesbian to my mother (I am not a lesbian but back then I thought I was (but I'm still LGBTQ+)), she just told me to go put my empty cereal bowl in the dishwasher and to do my homework. I mean she had a lot of lesbian friends so I wasn't expecting her to make it a huge deal, but that was still nice.

That's how I handled it with my dad. He told me he hated that my younger brother would invite his latest girlfriend to every family thing (including funerals) and "I would have never introduced anyone to my parents if I wasn't serious." 10 years later I introduced him to my fiancee. That was that

My mum asked all of my siblings and I if we were gay in high school, and said that it was okay to tell her if we were. It's great she understands that, but none of us are gay, we just didn't feel like dating around and didn't have anyone we liked enough to date. That she found much harder to understand. She was always 'boy crazy' as a teen and was married to my dad at 18. Then she started dating straight after their final separation and got married a few years after that. She doesn't know what it's like to truly live your own life. Apart for one guy I dated for a few months right at the end of high school, I haven't wanted to date since then, I'm happy in my own space, not having to worry about someone else, which my mum still doesn't really get, though she says she does. Any time she meets a single guy she thinks is 'nice' she tells me, even if they are 10-20 years older than me!

In the corners of the internet where mainstream culture rarely looks, queer meme culture is thriving, chaotic, razor-sharp, and profoundly specific. If you’ve ever stumbled across a post that combines a screenshot from Shrek 2, a quote from Judith Butler, and a caption like “me trying to girlboss too close to the sun,” then you’ve had a brush with it.
But to truly understand queer meme culture is to enter a coded world where the absurd, the transgressive, the traumatized, and the celebratory coexist in strange, humorous symbiosis. It's more than jokes, it's language, lifeline, lineage.

Gay men and lesbians have long employed inside jokes and coded discourse to build community in opposition. With the internet age, that tradition has come to manifest as meme culture that is actively opaque, self-referential, and dripping with levels of irony. From the earliest fandoms on Tumblr to niche communities on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), queer folks have developed a digital slang that combines political commentary, niche style, fandom tropes, and pop culture into something that's half-performative art, half-group therapy.

I wear my FREE DAD HUGS t-shirt to Pride and if I'm not in the parade but go as a spectator I get about 60-70 hugs, and *all* of them walk past me first, think about it, and then come back and check if I'm for real. And I am. And we cry a bit. (Normally I'm in the parade in a Proud Parents group...where I tend to get included in selfies more than hugs. I assume so they can show a parent...hey this old dad is cool with it....)

For what it's worth, when I (female) thought I was straight I could determine what is stereotypically attractive for a woman (ie what Hollywood and all the magazines are selling us), but that was it. It took me a long time to realize I'm bi because it's subtle and VERY different from the way my attraction to men works. Now I have a very definite "type" that I find most attractive and it's not in line with stereotypical beauty. I'm not saying it would be like that for everyone in my kinda-unusual situation, but I think it's interesting.

It is no accident queer memes go viral within tight-knit social circles and barely register anywhere else. A meme reading "screaming, crying, throwing up because your therapist told you you can't marry a cartoon rat" is not just absurdism, it's a demonstration of how queerness remaps attachment, desire, and identity.

My wife is bi (not "was", is, her passing doesn't change anything) and that can add some complexity to a relationship - but it does make for some comedy moments in the pub once in a while - jealousy can pop up in any relationship, but being told off "stop looking at her, I saw her first!" really isn't something you can argue with

Roasted, Broiled, Charred, Boiled, Fried, Baked, Grilled, Barbecued, and Rotisseried!
These memes demonstrate a lived experience with earnestness and contradiction, where gender is a revolving door, labels are sacred and disposable, and the distinction between parody and truth is fine by design. It's humor out of liminality, not quite in and not quite out of the culture it is satirizing.

Much queer meme humor survives on recontextualization. A clip from a Disney Channel original movie can be paired with an irony-laden comment about top surgery. A frog in a tiny hat photograph is now a transmasc joy symbol. The sillier the juxtaposition, the more it will speak to people, especially those who are seeing themselves in the mess. It's not always necessarily a thing to be interpreted, and that's its glory.

Queer meme culture, at its simplest, isn't necessarily about being funny in the classical mode. It's about finding meaning in s**t, wholeness in fragments, and power in play. It offers a space in which people can post hyper-specific emotions, dysphoria, happiness, longing, rage, without having to explain or justify them to anyone outside the bubble.

A very similar illustration is in the Home Physician copyrighted mid 1920s. I used to look at my grandmother's copy.
It isn't closed off, exactly, but it's close.

There's a label again, Amongst the people who may sometimes, or always, wear clothes normally associated with the opposite gender, some of them may be trans, but many of them are not.

Isn't that part of the Bible ambiguous between it condemning homosexuality and p********a? The line is something like "A man shall not lie with a boy" or something. Not that what the book condones or condemns means anything anyways
Luke Branwen 4 months ago
Yes, exactly. In the original Hebrew, the line is very ambiguous and can refer to anything like "don't be a p3do", "don't do s3x rituals" or "don't have gay s3x in a bed where a woman normally lies". Condemning homosexuality as a whole is one of the least probable translations.

Where I live, it is usually either age or length of relationship that determines whether you are called partnes, not gender/sexuality. It is funny though, when women over 40 say 'my girlfriend', unless you know them well, you don't know if they mean their partner or just their friend who is a girl.

bisexuals are only interested in men and women. so that means if somebody is trans the bisexual wouldn't be interested. pansexuals mean they're truly is no preference and you don't really care what gender somebody identifies with. somebody in a different Forum told me once that those of us who identified as bisexual 50 years ago might have actually been omnivorous bisexuals AKA pansexuals because we didn't have any other way to identify. ever since that day I said that I am an omnivorous bisexual

Plenty of people consider themselves Bi and are attracted to trans people.

My friend hadn't come out as bi to me or a couple of my other friends (though I assumed he was) until middle of year 12. At the start of year 12, we had a 'camp' where we stayed overnight in the dorms of a local uni as we learned a bit about what uni was like and good study habits to do well in year 12. Anyway, these dorms were empty because it was before that year's students moved in, so all the cupboards etc were empy. My friend got in one of the closets, closed the doors and then sprung out saying 'hello darlings'. I actually still have a video of it. It is funny because it makes me wonder how two of my friends had no idea he was bi, he literally 'came out of the closet'. This wasn't the first thing that made me think he was bi though (I actually heard him talking to another friend about a boy he liked/was dating 6 months before).

Starting puberty: I'm just idealizing men. Just a fase, it happens, will pass. ok, i'm a little bit bisexual. I'll just wait for the right girl. Nope, i'm bisexual, that's fine. Nope, i prefer boys over girls. I'm waiting to come out the closet when i move out. I unexpectedly meet that nice boy. I wake up one morning, and i literally shout out loud : F*ck it.. i'm gay. What a feeling ! Mother asks : That friend of yours, is he just a friend ? me: no, he's more mother: I need a beer, want one ?

Terminology question: If you are non-binary, and you identify as gay, would that be being attracted to your own gender, as in other NBs, or being attracted to your own biological s*x, or being attracted only to people who are both?

Basically, If an NB person who was biologically female said they were a lesbian, than they would date other lesbians or Bi women/nb people. This 'dilema' also applies to binary trans people. A gay trans man would not date a straight man who viewed them as a woman. Idk, im NB but also aroace so I legit don't worry about these things. Its basically whichever label or lack there of that feels right

Sort of, since many ace people have the 'Bi/pan is attraction to all genders/equal attraction,(kind of) and I have an equal level for each (0), I must be Bi!' The bi community welcomed Aces long before mainstream queer and legal recognition happened.

Wrong. Straights don't actually care who you sleep with. We all have our own lives, and what you do with yours isn't my concern. There, said it.

I know it can be used offensively but you can't be punching people, Bret. Nowadays many people use it as a neutral term and it depends on the context.
