In case you haven't noticed, the world we live in is actually kind of scary, shitty, depressing place. While it's important to stay informed about things that matter, it's always good to escape reality from time to time and enjoy things that spark joy and make you laugh. 
And what better way to do that than with some gay AF memes?!

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.
