An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

=========

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

Yup. Something to do with the lining of the rectum absorbing things easier than the vagina.

Tiny tears is the main issue.

No, not as far as I'm aware. The issue is the fact that the rectum is full of cells that allow viral loads to be able to pass through the membranes. The tiny tears thing was a theory that may have some part in it, but isn't the full issue.

My info is way out of date, from back when AIDS was a serious thing to worry about.

All good! Half-life of science is pretty short. These things move quick. Not to mention the fact that it's a natural conclusion to come to!
