"Wed March 6: Dear diary, BP did not censor the word 'murder.' I think the end is near. I hope it won't hurt when everything ends."
Bored Panda got in touch with Emanuel Fappas, the man behind the “Openly Gay Animals” meme page, and he was kind enough to share some more details with us. Firstly, we wanted to hear some more about the page and why he named it that way.
“The genesis of Openly Gay Animals stemmed from an extension of myself and my passions for animals, comedy, acting, the gay/queer community, and spreading joy/laughter. The concept of openly gay animals emerged as a celebration of love triumphing over adversity, much like human relationships. It's about defying societal norms to live authentically and for all of us to live happily together.”
“As for the name "Openly Gay Animals," it encapsulates the spirit of the page perfectly. It symbolizes courage, authenticity, and the freedom to love without constraints. I wanted a name that would be bold, memorable, and reflective of the page's ethos,” he shared with Bored Panda. After all, animals tend to not be as self-conscious as us humans and are bold, brave, and, literally, out there.
My favorite are the bumblebee falling asleep while head on flower and butt outside !
The page itself is sizable, surpassing many other animal meme pages, so we were curious to hear why he thought it did so well. “Regarding my substantial following of 1.8 million, I believe people are drawn to Openly Gay Animals for its unique blend of humor, heart, and inclusivity. People resonate with kindness and good old-fashioned good-willed humor.”
“In a world often fraught with negativity, my page offers a respite—a space where people can laugh, feel uplifted, and find solace, even if just for a moment….from all walks of life! I try to convey that message in the personal videos I make in my stories and now on the channel feature. It's a testament to the power of joy and that universal desire for acceptance and love, that we all have.”
She's looking back like "And what do you intend to do about it, Steven?"
“I do express my gratitude to my incredible community of followers as it’s their support and engagement that have been instrumental in shaping Openly Gay Animals into what it is today. I'm continually inspired by their enthusiasm and the connections we all have together. I always say that I feel like I have the best followers on all of Instagram!” he shared.
“Also, as an actor and someone with a deep love for animals, this project holds a special place in my heart. It allows me to combine my passions while making a positive impact in the world.” The Internet is littered with animal memes, perhaps for good reason. Indeed, the first memes out there were a collection of household pets, dogs, hamsters, and, of course, cats.
I was eating a peanut butter sandwich one day. I knew my dog wanted some but I told her no. She jumped off the couch and ran to the front door next to the couch. I lived in a place that was 15’ x 7’. I put the sandwich on the counter in front of me instead of the TV tray I was using as a computer table for my laptop. She immediately ran back onto the couch to the TV tray to try to grab my sandwich thinking I put it there. The look of disappointment when it wasn’t there was so adorable. Sneaky little bugger. I had to give her a little tiny piece. 😹
Conventional wisdom has it that when the cows are lying down it will rain within 24 hours. If they are all standing it will remain sunny. And around here, if they are in the road, your fence is down.
There are Green Thumbs, and then there are Green... Never mind, BP will censor me.
In my case it was "This dog needs a home" and I was like "Okay cool" and now she lives with me. And rules the house, obvs.
It stops after 3 ways?! I'm on like 173947928347563837485739 in an hour...
