The 'I'm A Black Gay Guy' tweet refers to a viral 2020 incident involving former Lehigh County commissioner Dean Browning. Browning, a white man, posted a tweet claiming to be a 'black gay guy' who felt Obama had done nothing for him, leading the internet to conclude he meant to post from a burner account to simulate minority support. The situation escalated when a video surfaced of a man claiming to be the person behind the sentiment, though users quickly connected the individual to a relative of Patti LaBelle. This meme has since become the gold standard for representing 'sock-puppet' account fails, digital dishonesty, and the awkward moments when public figures forget to switch profiles before posting manufactured testimonials.
