Gay to Homosexual Progression

Text on the meme

ONE DIRECTION Gay! Jonas Brothers LINES, VINES AND TRYING TIMES Gay! Ultra Gay! Homosexual

What it means

A four-panel joke compares increasingly “gay” celebrity images: One Direction and the Jonas Brothers are labeled “Gay,” Justin Bieber is labeled “Ultra Gay,” and Freddie Mercury is labeled “Homosexual.” The punchline exaggerates the stereotype until it reaches the openly gay rock icon, making it a reaction meme about escalating levels of perceived flamboyance.
