While it was definitely a slogan before hand, Be Gay Do Crimes first hit the internet in a big way in 2016 in the form of a photograph of graffiti in Marseille. So, at the risk of over-explaining the really quite straight forward instruction to Be Gay, Do Crimes, let’s go into a little meme history, shall we? Origins of the Slogan Then I get all history-nerd about it, and here we are. I am often in the corner quietly googling memes so I know what the heck you’re talking about. I'm definitely On The Internet, but I am not the most up to date with internet speak, if that makes sense. If you don't know what that's all about, never fear! I get it. You may have noticed the phrase 'Be Gay, Do Crimes!' kicking around here lately, either as hilarious food pun apparel (like this Be Gay, Do Criminis shirt or crop top) or an adorable queer love card.
