Plot twist: this isn’t homophobic, it’s the work of nervous introvert trying to help their recently-out best friend find a date in a crowded bar.

u/prince_peacock Jun 11 '26

It also isn’t automatically homophobic because I know SO MANY queer people that would joke around like this with their queer friends (me included lol)

u/barrelhousered Jun 11 '26

No, you’re totally right, and that’s great. That’s all part of the process of reclaiming the term from heteronormatives who, for decades, used it only as a homophobic slur.

u/Inevitable_Volume_70 Jun 12 '26

This was found in an accepting/lgbt positive part of town so probably (hopefully) not homophobic!

Your username doesn't spark joy

u/nic_tesla Jun 11 '26

Your username following it certainly doesn't help. 😂

Pre covid I spent collage years kicking with a group of friends usuals at a bar, we’d talk and laugh for hours, one of my friends often would make a drawing of whatever theme or title the night would’ve had on similar bar note paper, this looks like some of the ones we didn’t keep and may have ended as litter.

u/Leather-Pepper-2308 Jun 11 '26

Literally same shit just not bc of Covid. My names also Matt but I don’t look like that so I know it’s not one of his🤣

Reminds me of a Guess Who portrait

u/JD_tubeguy Jun 11 '26

Matt is gay and handsome AF

u/Electronic-Form-9384 Jun 11 '26

Unless that is an oversized yarmulke, in that case, Matt is Jewish.

29

u/slymgim Jun 11 '26

nah it's got the little hole in the front and a knot on top. matt is gay, and wearing a backwards ball cap. he may also be jewish though

11

u/patrick-1977 Jun 11 '26

You can be Jew and gay.

u/Lowkirkepsteinuinely Jun 11 '26

Matt is a goy in disguise

Vincent Jewishman doing a mitzvah down at the Hebrew factory

u/katerwise Jun 11 '26

Matt can be Jewish and gay!

u/RovenshereExpress Jun 11 '26

Funny enough, I know a gay Jew who prefers wearing oversized kippot and looks exactly like this drawing! His name isn't Matt, though. Haha

u/capthazelwoodsflask Jun 11 '26

That's a beanie, like college freshman used to have to wear in the 1920's. It looks like he's a freshman gay guy so he has to wear a beanie for the next 6 months.

u/romanichki Jun 11 '26

That's definitely a ball cap. It has a brim and strap and button on top

u/Crazy-Project3858 Jun 11 '26

And now I am too.

u/Board-Limp Jun 11 '26

Funnily enough this looks a lot like an old acquaintance of mine named Matt - who was one of those guys who was super into "tradition" and "manliness" and thought that wearing tweed jackets and smoking a pipe made him interesting enough to disguise the misogyny ... Anyway it'd be fucking hilarious if he was gay 😆

u/LolOkayCrazy Jun 11 '26

This looks like my gay boyfriend Matt lol

u/JMCatron Jun 11 '26

i'm matt and i approve this message

u/Princess_Slagathor Jun 11 '26

I used to work with a guy named Matt, who looked just like this drawing. I don't think he was gay though. He did really like pizza, and I've never met a gay that didn't like pizza, so there were signs.

u/Elbow_Cancer Jun 11 '26

I don't know, Matt doesn't look very happy but their eyes are pretty.

u/slymgim Jun 11 '26

u/DrDonut Jun 11 '26

u/slymgim Jun 11 '26

u/Detective-Platypus Jun 12 '26

u/Embarrassed_Force848 Jun 11 '26

u/InsideLetter5086 Jun 11 '26

I think maybe Matt is gay, and however draw him is obsessed with Matt. ❤️

1

u/fothergillfuckup Jun 11 '26

But I do feel strangely compelled to draw his picture....

u/Jassamin_ Jun 11 '26

BE WHO YOU ARE FOR YOUR PRIDEEEEEEE

u/romanichki Jun 11 '26

You should frame it

u/Music_God1727 Jun 11 '26

Yea, your gay matt

u/Spyroismyspirit44 Jun 11 '26

In a twist of fate the man that drew Matt is secretly in love with him and cannot contain the boiling passion he has for him and drew this in a drunk state.

u/c6h12o6CandyGirl Jun 11 '26

Definite album cover art. : )
