So the political climate in America has been in a constant state of clownery for the past few years, and while nothing really surprises us anymore, it can get really exhausting when all you hear about on a daily basis is how the privileged continue to marginalize people.
While it's important to stay focused and make your voice be heard, sometimes you need a light-hearted (and hilarious) distraction from it all. Gay memes are the answer.

        Gay horror comedy ‘The Parenting’ is light scares but heavy on heart — and dick jokes

Is there anything more terrifying — and ripe for comedy — than a weekend away with you and your partner’s parents? Only one thing that could make that pressure cooker more intense: A demon, of course. Or so Kent Sublette, writer of HBO’s new queer horror comedy The Parenting believes. 
The film, which is now streaming on HBO Max, follows gay couple Rohan (Nik Dodani) and Josh (Brandon Flynn) as they face this watershed moment in their relationship. The couple gathers their respective families up for a weekend in an idyllic cabin in the country where, unbeknownst to Josh, Rohan is also planning to pop the question. Not intense enough? It just so happens that the house is already occupied, by a 400-year-old demon and the ghosts of its previous victims.
