Gay High School is a meme that originated from a 2020 Gacha Life parody video posted by ballslord43, "straight in a gay school lunch club glmm", from the Lunch Club / SMPLive fandom.
Original Video
The video features Slimecicle, a straight student on his first day at "gay high school", hoping that no one realizes. He is approached by cscoop, who asks if he "wants to get men", and then, along with traves, begins to mock Charlie for being straight. The video ends on a meme redraw of cscoop's fish mascot with the caption "this is why straight people are oppressed".
Spread
A screenshot of the video, of Slimecicle talking about his first day at gay high school, was first posted on /r/GachaLifeCringe in 2021.[1] The same year, it was posted to Tumblr and received over 7 thousand notes.[2] The image finally began to go viral when it was posted to Twitter by reactjpg, and was spread throughout the platform without context.[3]
The meme would be redrawn frequently with characters from other fandoms, and referenced both in the MCYT community and outside it.
CC Response
Slimecicle would reply to a tweet of the out of context image in May 2021, saying "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS". On September 8, 2022, he would post a tweet that reads:
I did NOT go to gay high school, but if I did it was not my intention. I also firmly believe the students would not realize im straight either way. Thank you all.Slimecicle [4]
