This Artist Is Reimagining Your Favorite Superheroes Turned Gay
Queer representation in mainstream media is rare. But what if your favorite superheroes turned gay? Sometimes you have to create (or recreate) the representation you want to see in the world. Most people could count the amount of canonically queer superheroes they know on one hand. The number shrinks down, even more, when you restrict it to canonically queer on-screen heroes. Even that is being generous and relies on you including passing references and subtle hints.

Leslie Jordan Honors Late Mother By Sharing Funny Stories
Because a good laugh is healing for the soul.
Actor and comedian Leslie Jordan announced the passing of his mother, Peggy Ann Griffin Jordan, in an Instagram post on Monday.
“We lost mama but she will live on forever in our memories and stories. Love you, mama, and always will. Love. Light. Your, Leslie.”
We met the Will & Grace star’s mom in 2020 when he first made his Instagram account and shared hilarious videos of him and his family trying to survive the quarantine.

View this post on InstagramSome of these videos included his mother, Peggy, who he lived with at the time in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
View this post on InstagramPeggy passed away on May 17, 2022 at the age of 86. Though she was a devout Southern Baptist, Leslie said she accepted his sexuality the best way she could. In another video shared with his followers earlier this year, the comedian spoke about coming out to his mother when he was 12.
“She thought on it, and I thought she might pull her bible out, I wasn’t sure,” said Leslie. “And she said, ‘You know son. I think… that you probably just need to lead a quiet life, otherwise you’ll be subject to ridicule and I could not bear that.

“So, here I am living a quiet life, Mama!” Leslie continued.
View this post on InstagramHis videos always manage to bring a smile to our faces no matter what, and his tribute video to his Mama is no exception.
Leslie Pays Tribute to Mamma Peggy
The first story is about a time his mother asked everyone who the actor from the Fantasy Island series is.
“Hervé Villechaize,” one of Leslie’s sisters answered.
Not understanding that she was answering her question instead of asking a new one, Peggy replied, “It hasn’t come yet … my VA check.”
The next story was about an interaction between Leslie and Peggy after he came home to Chattanooga. When he told his mom he was going to catch up on some sleep, she misheard the conversation again and asked him how he managed to get ketchup on his sleeve.
“Do you think she might have been hard of hearing?” he asked at the end of the video.

Polyamory Memes That Are A Mood
21 Polyamory Memes That Are Too Relatable
Being monogamous is the norm in society, but little by little polyamory is becoming more accepted by the mainstream. There has been more and more representation of polycules in modern media, but it’s still rare, so sometimes you can feel like the only poly person in the whole wide world. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, there is a tribe out there that is alive and well and making memes on the internet. So here are 21 polyamory memes that will shake you to your core!
RELATED | What Is The Difference Between Polyamory and Polygamy
1. Sleeping In The Middle
View this post on InstagramEven the cuddliest of us might need a little space once in a while!
2. Realizing You Were Poly
View this post on InstagramSome of us had to come to it on our own okay?
3. Dating Online
@mocha_jesus/Twitter No one likes dating apps, but they are especially hard for poly people since they make it difficult to weed out the creeps and cheaters. Not all of us are looking for a hookup, we’re looking for people we want to connect with, which is so much harder to find online.
4. Owning Your Truth
The fact that I am all three of those things is a COINCIDENCE.#polyamory #polya #polyam #polyamorous #polymemes #polyamorousrelationship #polyammemes #polyamorousmemes #bisexual #bisexualmemes pic.twitter.com/BDqfDKUWkD

Some of us just fell off the horny tree and hit every branch on the way down. But does this mean that every poly person is a 24/7 horn-dog? Hell no! This stereotype is harmful and serves to delegitimize poly relationships as frivolous sexual greed. This polyamory meme says it well!
5. Encountering Problems
The struggle can be real tho 😆 #polyamory #polymemes pic.twitter.com/WlGUEvcXnN

The whole primary partner thing works for some poly relationships but not all. If you’re more of a relationship anarchist, you’ll probably relate to this poly meme.
6. Attracting The Wrong People

Some people think “poly” means “slutty” or that it’s okay to cheat, and there’s a lot of baggage that comes with that assumption. Those straight guys looking for harems – the ones that tout a ‘no penis policy’ – they need to be kicked to the curb.
7. Watching Movies
View this post on InstagramLove triangles make little sense to polyamorous people, why suffer all that angst when you can have your cake and eat it too? We need more polyamourous representation in popular media, and we need it now!
8. Thriving In This Economy
View this post on InstagramWhy have a two-income household when you can have a three-income household or a four-income one? Being in several committed relationships allows you to act as a team, and that comes with serious financial benefits.
9. I Got 99 Problems But A Cishet Guy Ain’t One!
View this post on InstagramThis open relationship meme is eye opening. Dating a couple makes it a little easier to deal with your slightly ignorant cishet boyfriend, who might not be able to check his privilege.
10. Seeking Attention
View this post on InstagramWhen you are always around people it becomes weird when you suddenly have alone time.
11. Weeding Out The Casuals

Not all polyamorous people practice ethical non-monogamy and you have got to look out for them. The last thing you want is to be caught up in a drama with weird consequences because of a partner that lied about being poly.
12. Sharing With Your Family
View this post on InstagramThis is why most of us have a primary partner – so we can have a default. But unfortunately, that’s just not how some polycules work and it’s a shame they have to hide in this mono-centric society

One of the worst assaults from toxic monogamy is when people try to prove that just because your relationship is different, that it’s inherently invalid. Everyone wants to prove you wrong. Don’t let them!
14. Being Honest About Your Agenda
View this post on InstagramEvery polycule is looking for someone with a certain set of skills! And with all your skills combined maybe you can build a great life together.
15. Looking For Partners
View this post on InstagramMake it so you have people in your life who enrich it not just financially, but socially, sexually, and spiritually. There are some serious perks to being poly if you think about it!
16. Mentoring Beginners

Some people get really excited when they first get started exploring polyamory. But most of us just want to sit on the couch with our partners and watch movies or recover from the day.
17. Having To Debunk Old Stereotypes

The biggest misconception about poly is that polyamorous people are justifying cheating. There’s actually a huge difference between cheating and practicing ethical non-monogamy – and that difference is consent. Everyone in a proper polyamorous relationship knows about everyone else and is a consenting and enthusiastic partner. Down with monogamy propaganda! Bring on more polyamory memes!
18. Making Tough Decisions

One of the nice things about polyamory is being able to appreciate your partner’s beauty WITH your other partners. It’s like a non-stop empowerment tag-team.
20. Questioning Jealousy
Fight me. FIGHT ME!#polyamemery #polyamory #memes #relationshipadvice #polypirates #polyamorymemes #godzilla #vs #donkeykong pic.twitter.com/bNhl50QTSl

Jealousy can be incredibly toxic but monogamous society has taught us it’s a healthy part of a loving relationship. The good thing about polyamory is that it changes your relationship with jealousy, and makes you question why you have those feelings instead of just succumbing to them.
21. Doing Your Own Thing
View this post on InstagramJust because monogamy is the default in society, doesn’t mean that it’s the only correct way to do relationships. You should be able to love whomever you want, however you want, (within the boundaries of consent). It’s our business how we go about our business.
Final Thoughts
If you are feeling gloomy about being one of the few polyamorous people you know, then memes are a great way to remind yourself you are not alone. Other people have #relatable problems that they’ve channeled into polyamory meme form. We hope they have made it a little easier to be yourself and helped you realize that there are tons of others who feel the same way you do!
