Gay meme images

It's not always easy being queer in a world that hasn’t quite caught up. 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.

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. However, you can also upload your own templates or start from scratch with empty templates.

How to make a meme

1. Choose a template. You can use one of the popular templates, search through more than 1 million user-uploaded templates using the search input, or hit "Upload new template" to upload your own template from your device or from a url.

   By uploading custom images and using all the customizations, you can design many creative works including posters, banners, advertisements, and other custom graphics.

2. Add customizations. Add text, images, stickers, drawings, and spacing using the buttons beside your meme canvas.
3. Create and share. Hit "Generate Meme" and then choose how to share and save your meme.

   Use as conversation starters - Memes are great icebreakers

   3. They're:

   - A form of communication - We use memes to express feelings we can't put into words

   - A way to connect - Sharing memes creates bonds and inside jokes

   - A form of validation - When you see a meme that perfectly describes your experience, you feel seen

   - A source of entertainment - Let's be honest, memes are just really funny

Now that you've got all the meme knowledge, it's time to put it to use.

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.

• You can further customize the font for each text box using the gear icon next to the text input.
• You can add special image effects like posterize, jpeg artifacts, blur, sharpen, and color filters like grayscale, sepia, invert, and brightness.
• You can remove our subtle imgflip.com watermark (as well as remove ads and supercharge your image creation abilities) using Imgflip Pro or .

Can I use the generator for more than just memes?

Yes!

The Meme Generator is a flexible tool for many purposes. 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. People often use the generator to customize established memes, such as those found in Imgflip's collection of Meme Templates.

For designing from scratch, try searching "empty" or "blank" templates. You can add as many additional text boxes as you want with the Add Text button. 👑🌈
