AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Homophobic Seal, also commonly referred to as the "Gay Seal," is a character from a webcomic. This meme features a seal that is known for shouting "GAAAAAAYYYY" in a humorous context, typically to dismiss or deride situations or interactions presented above it in the template as overly sentimental or weak.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a webcomic published on Antics Comic on November 5th, 2010. In the comic titled "Survival Insticts", two men embrace to stay warm during a blizzard, which prompts a seal in the comic to yell "GAAAAAAYYYY." The comedy of the seal's reaction in the comic may be likened to a similar expression by Señor Ben Chang in the television sitcom 'Community', where the character exclaims "Ha, Gayyyyy" in an episode broadcast on September 23rd, 2010.[1]
