Man fakes gay culture fluency by saying 'werk' for years straight

A Reddit screenshot showing a humorous thread where someone confesses they attend drag race viewing parties with their husband but don't understand gay culture references, so they just smile and say "werk" to fit in. A follow-up comment shares a similar anecdote about a 'gay redneck' feeling out of place at a pride event. The post plays on the awkwardness of performative participation in subcultures.

I'm not gay enough for the gays
My husband and I are at a friends house to watch rupauls drag race. Everyone else is talking about some drag queen. I have no idea what's going on. I just smile and say "werk" every few minutes.
I've felt this way for decades. I've accepted my fate. I hope I'm never found out. All this just to fuck men.

My gay redneck buddy went to a big city for a pride event around his birthday. I texted him happy birthday and asked how it was going. He said he's coming home early because "this is advanced homosexuality and I'm just an amateur apparently."
