I'm no memeologist, but shouldn't Saudi Arabia be in the middle?

No no, you have a point.

They're in a triangle, not a line.

Only 2 are pointing at each other, the other one is third wheeling

I feel like this deserves a Skinner meme.

“Could it be that people want to be treated equally regardless of who they are attracted to?

No, it must be a communist plot.”

Okay I saw the meme and thought for a second somebody blamed Muslims for LGBT rights, which would be hilarious.

Funny enough, the Muslim world in the 16th-18th centuries was actually very LGBT tolerant compared to Christian Europe. It was the rise of fundamentalist Wahhabism in the mid 18th century (and Salafism in the 19th century) that brought about the current prevailing attitudes on homosexuality in the Muslim world.

I mean I sure had no idea the depth and reach of the secret gay cabal. They're everywhere and nowhere.

Must be a well organized group, do they have open sign-ups or something?
