1920s Clothing Ghost Joke

Text on the meme

just went out wearing my 1920s clothing and heard a girl ask her mom if i was a ghost to which her mom replied “no, i think that’s just a lesbian”

What it means

A young person in vintage 1920s-style clothing walks outdoors while holding a drink. A child mistakes them for a ghost, but her mother humorously identifies their unusual appearance as a lesbian stereotype. The meme is used as an ironic reaction to looking visibly alternative, old-fashioned, or queer-coded. EN: A young person in vintage 1920s-style clothing walks outdoors while holding a drink.
