A gay content creator with tens of thousands of followers shared on Threads that a far-right account is using his pictures in their right-wing memes.
On Monday, Anthony Gordon, an L.A.-based makeup artist and content creator, uploaded a post to the social networking platform that called out the account. Under his account @surfbearla, he shared the meme using his picture with text on the photo that reads, "Remember boys, they keep calling us 'far-right,' when in reality we have been right-so-far."

Gordon warned his followers about the situation. "Some of you will remember the idiotic far right stole an image of me to make a meme for them," he continued. "What they don’t know is I’m a far left gay liberal man lol. Bozos! Follow me please."
His followers commented showing their support. “I lolled when I first saw this because I knew,” one person commented. Another person said, "They’re not the brightest bulbs." This point was further proven by other commenters who said this isn’t the first time photos of muscular gay men were used in this way.
"They did the same thing to Kristofer Weston, the gay leatherman from @wattsthesafeword,” one commenter replied to Gordon’s post. “Everytime they find an image of what they think they represent, it’s another gay progressive hot daddy. It’s starting to feel a little Freudian in here."
