A 16-year-old nonbinary lesbian TikTok user has begun an ongoing saga in which they troll their religious and homophobic mother for thinking that frogs are an LGBTQ icon.

It all began with a video, now viewed over 2.2 million times in which the teen’s mom strangely declared, “The frogs are gay.”

The teen then asks, “Can you elaborate on that?”

“All of your frog t-shirts have a gay thing on them,” the mother says.

The teen protests, “They don’t! They’re just frogs.”

The mom then gets testy. “They’re not gay??!” she asks. “Get out a frog t-shirt that has a frog on it.”

An inaudible man’s voice, presumably the father’s, then interrupts before the teen replies, “They don’t. They’re just frogs. All of my t-shirts just have frogs on them and they don’t have anything else.”

The mom then asks the father, “Are you going to believe her or are you going to believe me?”

The dad responds, “It’s just wait-and-see because I want to look at a shirt myself.”

The teen then says, “Okay so, all of my Care Bears and frog clothing is being policed now.”

The teen then issued several follow-up videos. In one, they pledged to wear a sparkly t-shirt that reads, “Save the frog-gays.” The video has a dance remix of anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theorist (and recent spouse abuse survivor) Alex Jones talking about how chemicals in the water “turn the freaking frogs gay.”

In another video, the teen teases their mom by telling her that all animals are considered gay now — “like a secret handshake” — after their mom said that squirrels aren’t considered gay symbols.

Later on, the teen bought a bunch of sparkly frog stickers and stuck them around the house just to antagonize their mother. The teen also put a bunch of rubber toy frogs around the house for their mom to discover.

Weirdly, in another video, the mom cites an opinion article published by a student writer at Florida International University that claims, “a frog or representations of frogs is considered an indicator of queerness, and are sometimes even called the ‘choice pet’ and ‘mascot’ of the LGBTQIA+ community.”

The writer says the frog emerged as a queer symbol because of Alex Jones’ “gay frog” conspiracy theory, the Biblical God’s use of frogs as a plague and the homo-encoded Frog and Toad children’s books written by gay author Arnold Lobel.

While the entire TikTok saga sounds laughable, the teenage TikToker added the following hashtags to their original video: “#homophobicparent #religiousparents #religioustrauma #mommyissuess”. In another video, the mother threatens to throw the teen out of the house if they keep playing gay music.

In short, living with a homophobic parent is rarely a laughing matter, even when glittery toy frogs are used to troll the hell out of them.

From kicking a Republican governor with Satanic shoes to kissing a dancer at a Black music awards show, Lil Nas X’s skill, sarcasm, and pure queer joy took 2021 by storm.

“Her life and existence never should have been up for political debate,” her mom said. The obituary she wrote for her daughter has since gone viral.

Anti-LGBTQ Christians have been sending him offensive messages urging him to be straight or saying he’s not actually gay.

After she came out in the middle of a hurricane, her fellow storm chasers stopped coming to her rescue as they did before. Despite that, she hasn’t stopped trying to save lives.

As of last Friday, she has won 18 consecutive victories, bringing her total winnings to $706,800.

Out celebrities often get all the attention, but these lesser-known folks fought to make life better for the #LGBTQ community.

Not even a global pandemic can stand in the way of queer romance. 2021 was a year of love stories like no other.

From Jen Psaki to Lauren Boebert, Chick-fil-A’s money funding hate to LGBTQ youth standing up for themselves, here’s what you were interested in this year.

It has certainly been a challenging year for LGBTQ rights, but it’s important to take a moment to recognize the wins.
