Ok, I didn't read the Community title and thought it was real. Because I trust him to do something like this. Or at least try it.

I was about to find the gayest apparel I could in reaction.
How many Christmas songs are there that contain the word "gay"? I can't think of any?
Make the yueltide gay
Now we don our gay apparel, la la la la la
deck the halls
Lol I didn't notice this was the Onion at first and genuinely thought this was real.
Yep. I bit it hard. Honestly, I'm mote surprised it isn't real at this point. It's totally something he'd do.
Oh, wait, that's The Onion.
the hard times, but yeah, I almost bought it too.
Conservatives, you have fucked up, because I didn't even get surprised by this, it really just seemed like something you guys would do these days.
Yes, they should replace them with the word 'homosexual' to be more modern 😉
After the congresswoman actually turned out to be in memory care I don't believe anything anymore. Not even my own name.
"Don we now, our happy apparial!"
Bro it was right there.
“Don we now, our hay apparel!”
Why are you giving him ideas?
Oof, they got me on that one.
People who thought this was real - don't feel bad, it's a reference to Florida's REAL "Don't Say Gay" law, enacted in 2023, that bans the word from public schools.
yeah... we're cooked.

The Flintstones have entered the chat.

This onion tastes particularly oniony.
I had a nice bite myself.
Doh! I got caught out again.
The Flinstones theme safe?
That was addressed at the end of the article.
At press time, Governor DeSantis banned reruns of “The Flintstones” after learning the family was having a “gay old time” in every episode.
Absolutely NOT. Fred Flintstone drove a zero-emissions vehicle, which is yabba-dabba-WOKE!
Alternative fuel vehicle, barefoot, and earthen home? Woke af
Technically, the power source for his vehicle does have an exhaust port that occasionally puts out methane gas.
He signed the bill because every time he hears the word 'gay', he thinks about shoving some D in his mouth. nom nom nom slurp slurp
Wow, what ❄️ ❄️ snowflakes ❄️ ❄️
yup I bit it
What's even the point of celebrating if the yuletide isn't gay
Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis
Thought it was real. Can't blame me though.
Yeah, it’s sadly believable. Ron is that much of a culture war stoking prick.
Ate the onion.
Would sir like fries with that 🍟
Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?
No. You read the headline, and react. Just the same as any other article. Then you see the community posted, laugh, and reply "ate the onion".
See in the 90s, the whole point of the onion (the actual original paper distributed onion newsletter) was to grab peoples attention and fool them into thinking it's a real headline.
Thats what happened here. I believed it was a legit headline. Thus, I ate the onion.
also fuckin at it (not completely sober)
Yeah, it is fucking sad to say that I had to double check and make sure this wasn't a not-the-onion story.
It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!
Fuck, yeah it got me too
(in fairness i'm tipsy rn)
100% something they'd do, which makes it even easier to swallow the onion
I think this site also had a really funny article about an alpha male that touched a tampon and ended up in an ER.
damn, good thing I'm a woman. sending my condolences to the victim and his family
Bro had UHC too
