Hi by the way, high fives are gay. Just so you know, they belong to the gays.

Officially stolen

Not even stolen!! They’re originally gay.

The first high five was between baseball players Glenn Burke and Dusty Baker of the Los Angeles Dodgers when Glenn welcomed Dusty back to home plate during a game. 

They kept doing it and so did the rest of the team, and it got super popular. The team was selling merch based on it, it spread throughout baseball, then other sports, then became the thing as we know it now. 

But… Glenn was gay. And when he was outed by an ex-partner in a newspaper article he was kicked off the team and out of baseball for good. 

As a form of revenge I suppose, to reclaim the thing Glenn had started that was now making the team that had rejected him a tonne of money, the same ex-partner proclaimed that it was a gay pride symbol. He called it “a legacy of two men’s hands touching.“ 

So high fives are gay.
