We’re stuffing ourselves with these hilarious memes about gays at Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving turkey, especially when homophobic kin is seated across the table.And some people opt to come out when everyone is breaking bread together.
In a 2012 Washington Post essay, Ned Martel contended that Thanksgiving the “proper holiday to tell your family that you’re a homosexual.”“Awkwardness is predictable, but expect the unexpected,” he advised. “A few years ago, a friend of a friend told his sister that he was going to tell their parents his news at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
Seated and fretful, he listened as she spoke up first. Before he even got his throat cleared, she came out ahead of him. Nobody said this was going to be easy.”It’s that time of the year.And a year later, Slate’s Mark Joseph Stein offered tactics for Thanksgiving coming-outs. “Instead of waiting for the perfect moment (which will never arrive) or manufacturing a segue (which will be painfully awkward), simply roll the bomb onto the table and let someone else detonate it,” he wrote. “Slip in the news—‘I’ve been meaning to tell you: I’m gay.
Also, this Tofurky is delicious!’—and shift the burden onto your family. It’s the emotional equivalent of looking at the ceiling while you get a flu shot: You’ll barely feel the pinch, and by the time it’s over, the deed is irrevocably done.”And if you’re dreading the prospect of coming out as gay at Thanksgiving—or just being your out around your family members—perhaps these memes and social media posts will offer comic relief!Arriving back to your hometown for Thanksgiving gay af pic.twitter.com/eIqmr0OG04Gays at thanksgiving dinner pic.twitter.com/pSRDKEyQAQGays arriving to Thanksgiving ready to confront their homophobic uncle and racist aunt pic.twitter.com/LgT2yxN5IHGays showing up to their republican parents house for Thanksgiving today to drop off a….pie pic.twitter.com/PdJZo35jiKWere gonna need assigned seating this year!
