In the 80s Gays be like: Straight men be like:
What it means

A split-image joke contrasts Freddie Mercury in a casual plaid shirt with a heavily styled glam-rock man wearing long blond hair, leather clothing, and makeup. The punchline is that gay men supposedly dressed conventionally while straight men adopted an exaggeratedly flamboyant look in the 1980s. It is used as an ironic reaction to stereotypes about sexuality, fashion, and glam metal culture.
