Gay Test

About

Gay Test is a meme prominent only in the form of Demotivational Posters. To be clear, they are not used to point out if the viewer of the poster is homosexual or not. These posters are only made for the lulz (which is arguably the case of most demotivational posters).

Origin

On October 29, 2007, a suggestive demotivational poster was posted onto a “funny pictures”-sharing site called evilmilk.com.

It is considered as the one of the site’s All Time Most Viewed Funny Pictures. (LINK WARNING: The first pictures you’ll see are suggestive ones)

Poster Construction

The poster is usually made up of these three basic elements:

• At least one girl anywhere in the picture
• Something/s which is/are supposed to distract the viewer of the poster from the girl
• A caption that reads, “GAY TEST: If you saw the distraction before the girl first, I’ve got some bad news for you…” or “GAY TEST: If you wouldn’t, you’re gay” or anything similar

Most, if not, all of these posters are made to make fun of only male people.

Sometimes, “Gay Test” posters are made to point out that a subject in the poster has failed said test by ignoring the girl/s in the poster or any similar idea which could pertain the guy to be gay.

Spread

The meme soon started appearing all over the web. A simple Google Search for the phrase “gay test demotivational” will result a person with about 206 000 results (as of December 21, 2009).
