Me when I’m outside and the sidewalk is crowded:

I've never heard that stereotype before. Apparently I'm gay - I tend to walk faster than most people when I'm on my own, especially if I'm doing something as opposed to taking a stroll.

Yep, I also just learned both my wife and I are gay.

Apparently I'm gay but my wife isn't.

Society has become much less accepting, but we'll probably be okay.

DAMN how fast you got to be walking to get gay from it?

I didnt realize that the straights weren't aware of this joke. The gay walking speed has been a joke for over a decade, at least from when I first came across it. Its funny to see everyone bewildered by it, like how many were surprised that the "in front of my salad" meme came from gay porn.
