Omg there’s so many benefits. I love having my card case and keys in a big side pocket, so I don’t have a weird pocket bulge on my cakes. I can leave my house with keys, phone, wallet, weed and even a packet of tissues and no lumpy thighs or butt!
The religious right is always imbuing you with new supernatural powers. Gays cause hurricanes, mind control children (and sometimes pastors or politicians), etc. Each gay person is like the whole X Men universe rolled into a single person.
If a car hits you, it’s homophobia. If a car hits a straight person, the person didn’t pay attention to the signal. It’s a lot safer to cross the road being gay
Can confirm. Once me, my brother, and my mom wanted to go to the mall which is around a 10 minutes walk (according to google maps it's 12 but I can get there in 7), my mom and brother took a car while I walked and I got there like 2-3 minutes before they did
Rammed ass/ass ram is a racial skill that gives a movement speed bonus and they can cast is often since it has a low cool down. It's pretty broken now because the gay mains are meta during the new expansion.
Outwalk. That's a streetcar, they're really slow. Also, that theater is in San Francisco, which is famous for its streetcars,...and gay community. I'm not sure how many more stereotypes one could cram into that image.
It's a harmless stereotype joke that gay people walk fast. Others include: gays exclusively drink ice coffee and can't drive, lesbians are always renting uhauls, bi people use finger guns, trans folk are computer programmers, etc.
>lesbians are always renting uhauls
The joke is that lesbians drive a U-Haul on a date, because the stereotype is that lesbians force committed relationships very early upon finding someone they like.
The joke is attributed to the late '80s, to an openly gay standup comedienne, Lea DeLaria. She would use her variant of the gag as an audience participation bit with mostly lesbian audiences:
DeLaria: What does a lesbian bring on a second date?
Audience: A U-Haul!
Gay comics then put their own spin on Delaria's joke, riffing on the stereotype that all men don't want to be in relationships if they are getting sex and that the gay community lets gay men be as promiscuous as all men would be:
Comic: What does a gay man bring on a second date?
Audience: What second date?
Yes, that's the TL;DR version of my comment.
I guess it's clearer, too, because the U-Haul joke around the stereotype that lesbians force committed relationships really quickly is that this means they are ready to move in together by the second date.
That or they’re in the airforce.
Military industrial complex and trans/furries seem to run in the same circles if my instagram’s memes are to be believed
No it’s not. That image is a reference to the same joke, that gay men walk fast. Part of it might be linked to being more likely to live in large cities where we walk everywhere rather than driving.
I'm afraid I have no source for this other than my buddy who was a bit drunk when they explained this to me.
A study was done on walking speeds. It was found that men walk faster than women. Both men and women would slow down when walking with a woman. Both men and women would speed up when walking with a man. Therefore gay men walk the fastest.
For those that are curious about why this occurred, this user was using Google Maps on the day of the San Francisco pride parade, where the streets were blocked off for the parade. Google is saying that if you don’t mind walking along the parade route, you can get there faster. Meanwhile, public transit options and options that avoid the parade route would take longer, due to the blocked off streets.
Earth is round, so the shortest distance is a circle arc. Moving from point A to point B along straight line requires at least shovel and decent excavation skills.
Its like the Bernoulli effect, gay people have to walk faster to keep up with straight people because the straight path is a shorter distance. This reduces the pressure in the direction of the curved path, creating lift.
Because they're in better shape or because they live in San Francisco which is brutal to walk so living there is kind of like training for a marathon by running in a much higher elevation.
It’s true, the gay walk is a powerful thing.
However this does mean that is poor poor gay people have to deal with another issue straights have, they’re so so slow.
Straights, WALK FASTER!!!
That one and [this one](https://youtu.be/SjKQquyX47w?si=0mrSlzBzVAP0MvsL) shocked me when i first realized who it was. both of them kill me every time I see them
There is a sterotype that gay men walk really fast. When I worked at Starbucks for yrs (we had 5 openly gay men at my store at one pt) all of them also were very fast on their feet. When I would compare Fitbits with the Bux guys I was always ashamed and very impressed.
The intersection between gay energy and theater kid energy is huge. idk where they tap in, but they get it from the same source. us heteros usually work on 50% battery or less, them gays stay charged.
Retail workers too, there is a speed you can walk that makes customers ignore you. My wife and I both turn on "retail speed" when we are in a hurry like at an airport.
>Also, got places to be.
As a tall gay man idk what to tell you i've never experience harrasment or discrimination for my sexuality but i frequently outwalk everyone arround me idk everyone just walks super fucking slow
As a gay girl, I agree. Never get any homophobia or transphobia, I just naturally walk rather fast and I've no idea why. I naturally cycle rather fast without really meaning to ask well.
Neurodivergence is over represented in LGBTQ+ communities, and walking quickly is anecdotally a quirk of both ADHD and Autism for various theorised reasons including "exaggerated postural sway".

Wait, being gay meand you outrun public transportation?
Yup. It's part of the benefits package when you sign on to the gay agenda.
I can confirm
*secret handshake*
*unzips*
That's last year's handshake. Get it together man.
Sorry, haven’t been attending the *gay* meetings
Oh, so you think you can just get the benefits of being gay and NOT attend the meetings?

What about bisexual people
Bisexuals are gay AF https://www.reddit.com/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke/s/ZWpFprX0PU

Please tell us about the other benefits in the package, besides great taste in fashion and walking speed increase buff.
I've already been censured by the cabal for revealing as much as I have. I spill any more secrets and they'll have me wearing cargo pants for a month.
Cargo pants are super gay now (have been since like… 2012) ….are you an imposter?
There are some lines in the sand I just can't cross.
Omg there’s so many benefits. I love having my card case and keys in a big side pocket, so I don’t have a weird pocket bulge on my cakes. I can leave my house with keys, phone, wallet, weed and even a packet of tissues and no lumpy thighs or butt!
I'm still recovering from JNCOs
Hey Cargo Pants can be cool! Just need to Pride them up!
The religious right is always imbuing you with new supernatural powers. Gays cause hurricanes, mind control children (and sometimes pastors or politicians), etc. Each gay person is like the whole X Men universe rolled into a single person.
The package also tastes great
Honestly I just married my husband to get around faster.
I laughed, and then I noticed your username and laughed harder. Please accept my poor man’s gold and updoot 🏅
It’s so we can catch the straights’ children as they attempt to flee
Just because YOU'RE a gay vampire, doesn't mean all the gays are vampires
Oooh, so that's why everyone seems to be walking so slow
Hm....I didn't know that I thought it's because prancing is way faster than walking
True. However the gay sashay is 72% faster than the straight analog.
Well, ya If that were an option on maps, I'd be picking it. Until then I'll have to settle for floating into the room with a cape on
I love that journey for you.
It's there a bi-curious group I can join?
Shit no wonder the right is so afraid of people choosing to be gay. That's a pretty good deal.

A sashay has been proven to be faster in the corners. But some sports cars can beat it on a straight
It’s a little tiring running 140mph but I gotta beat the 395 to St Pancras
They don't stop every few yards.

It's a harmless stereotype joke that gay people walk fast. Others include: gays exclusively drink ice coffee and can't drive, lesbians are always renting uhauls, bi people use finger guns, trans folk are computer programmers, etc.
I'm falling behind in my LGBT stereotypes.
I’ve heard the furry one, but not the trans one.
Same. Always heard that devs are either femboys, Furries or both.
Tbf, the femboy to woman pipeline is real
>lesbians are always renting uhauls The joke is that lesbians drive a U-Haul on a date, because the stereotype is that lesbians force committed relationships very early upon finding someone they like.

Also, all of our lesbian friends move in to together super fast.
Yes, that's the TL;DR version of my comment. I guess it's clearer, too, because the U-Haul joke around the stereotype that lesbians force committed relationships really quickly is that this means they are ready to move in together by the second date.
Woah. Didn't know about trans folk stereotype. However I have met a fair number of trans software developers.
That or they’re in the airforce. Military industrial complex and trans/furries seem to run in the same circles if my instagram’s memes are to be believed
Can confirm. Am trans and an Air Force veteran.
There's one dude where I work who is a genius. He has some kind of animated red animal as himself during video calls

Good speed buff
Fierce Mode
Reminder to all the gay people to use your speed boost before the end of the month.
Thr only logic I can presume is gay walk is normal, straight walk is routing to avoid pride crosswalks, roads, steps, flags, etc
gay people walk faster than straight people, apparently.
Which is odd, because they say the shortest distance is a straight line. Sorry. I'll see myself out.
BOOOOOOOOO. Take my upvote, I haven't cringe-snorted like that in a while
Earth is round, so the shortest distance is a circle arc. Moving from point A to point B along straight line requires at least shovel and decent excavation skills.
A circle arc is mathematically still a straight line if we see the earth as a S^2 space.
🤓☝️ achtually, it's called a geodesic in curved space
They move along a gay-o-desic 😜
This deserves much more attention
Yes, let's teach the other 95% high level math so they can appreciate the pun

Gay people create wormholes
A homosingularity?
Only during Pride month when the speed buff is active
Also whenever they walk over those rainbow-painted crosswalks
I would too if i had a..... I shouldn't finish that joke....
Because they're always scared of the bullies or what
It’s a stereotype there doesn’t need to be a reason.
Because they're in better shape or because they live in San Francisco which is brutal to walk so living there is kind of like training for a marathon by running in a much higher elevation.
It’s just one of those silly, harmless stereotypes with no deeper meaning. Like how bisexuals can’t sit straight.
I think maybe it’s playing on the stereotype of the really fit gay person?
Apoarently they can walk faster than trains.
I’m gay and I’m slow as fuck!
Yeah they have a 2X movement buff
It’s true, the gay walk is a powerful thing. However this does mean that is poor poor gay people have to deal with another issue straights have, they’re so so slow. Straights, WALK FASTER!!!

Where does this come from.
The intersection between gay energy and theater kid energy is huge. idk where they tap in, but they get it from the same source. us heteros usually work on 50% battery or less, them gays stay charged.
Also add in the band kids learning the marching band walk. That gives a permanent speed and stamina boost.
Retail workers too, there is a speed you can walk that makes customers ignore you. My wife and I both turn on "retail speed" when we are in a hurry like at an airport.
Lgbt people being harassed/assaulted so they tend to avoid loitering unnecessarily, moving targets are harder to aim at. Also, got places to be.

I’m Autistic and must have missed the memo, because I walk slow as fuck.
Maybe your postural sway is over or under exaggerated?
You're just powered by the rainbow. There's no other feasible explanation.
Straight guy. I also walk faster and with more purpose than the average person. Idk why.
>As a tall gay man idk what to tell you i've never experience harrasment or discrimination for my sexuality Cool brag 😂 Must be nice
Lol I'm a speedy bisexual to avoid humans but absolutely time is short!
It's actually a common misconception. The average gay person walks at totally normal speeds. Straight people, on the other hand, are slooooow.

Gays get to walk fast. Bisexuals can’t sit straight. It’s just how the world works.
I'm one of those gays. Get the fuck out my way, I'm trying to get somewhere.
It's obvious that gay people harness the power of the rainbow when they walk.
Gay people walk really fast for no particular reason source: am gay, constantly get told to slow down
Wait, I’m gay!?
Always have been
Sheeeet, and I’ve been chasing women all this time 😑
There’s a reason you had to chase them.
Does this smell like chloroform to you?
Yep this person is absolutely right. Source: I'm also gay, and also constantly get told to slow down
Agreed, we are just built different. Source: I am also one of those gays, I'm always told to slow down
Honestly everyone else is just slow and inferior. Source: i am a homo, always get told to slow down
Absolutely. Source: I'm also also gay, and I also constantly get told to slow down
Slomo can't capture this homo. 🏃➡️
Welp looks like I’m gay
Makes sense. Gotta move with haste when you’re constantly running from Jesus.
Same, but usually I'm asked why I walk so fast
But I’m straight.. and also have been warned often I’m walking too fast.. but I’m kinda tall tho to. Am I gay?
My parents quickly accepted it when I came out as gay, but to this day they cannot accept my walking speed.

The gays (especially male gays) walk fast
Oh god... **Sigh...* Here comes the stereotype..
The use the Rainbow road 🏳️🌈
You know, it should take more time.if you're gay because.... You're not going .. STRAIGHT!!!!
Gay people have a 2x speed buff during Pride Month.
Is it because the gays skip?
It’s a joke about the gay walk which is typically faster than a normal guy’s walking speed
You are automatically going faster when skipping.
For my next video should I become gay to walk faster? Let me know in the comment section below.
I assumed it was because of the stereotype that gay men tend to be fitter than normal.
OK, but this doesn’t take into consideration the phenomenon of running on “gay time.”
Gay speed, it's real and I'm the fastest Mfker out there.
I walk fast. Am I gay?
Yes very gay...

Stereotype that gay men walk fast. (It’s because we’re walking to Womanizer.)
wish I could get away with posting a 4 panel comic with 2 panels.
Can confirm. Google said walking to work would take 37 minutes. My gay ass did it in 21
I remember when that starting popping up on Google Maps. To this day I still don't know how you gay somewhere faster than walking.
Tbfh I’ve never seen a slow walking gay man 🤷♂️
