The fact that this meme is using Smithers is particularly ironic

I can’t find it now, but there was a stand up comic talking about “gay married”.

I’m paraphrasing here, but she said “why do I have to be “gay married”? Why is it not just married? When I park my car I don’t gay park my car”

Apologies to OP of this joke, I just saw a clip and never knew your name but it lives in my head rent free.
