A man was filmed scooching up the handrail to avoid walking up a set of stairs painted the colors of the LGBTQ+ Progess Pride flag at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to be so homophobic that you can't even climb a set of stairs, think no more!

An Australian man was widely mocked online after he was filmed scooching up the handrail to avoid walking up a set of stairs painted the colors of the LGBTQ+ Progess Pride flag at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.


The university confirmed that the colorful paintwork was part of the celebration for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade, which recently honored a gay couple, Luke Davies and Jesse Baird, who passed away in February.

Encountering the vibrant stairs of the university, the man laid on his front and maneuvered his body up the railings, incorporating thrusting motions halfway through and flexing his muscles upon reaching the top.

A video of his antics circulated on X, formerly Twitter, and has been viewed more than 300,000 times.

Social media users mocked the unnamed man profusely.



This isn't the first time a man has gone viral for finding a "creative" way to avoid climbing some LGBTQ+-themed stairs.

Back in 2019, a video circulated online showed a man struggling to climb steep steps to avoid climbing the rainbow-themed stairs right next to him. The video, posted by YouTuber HtThe, gained over 1.1 million views in roughly four years. The YouTuber noted that he'd "found" the video, signaling that he's not the original uploader, whose identity has yet to be determined.

The video proved so popular that it sparked a new meme titled "STFU I'm Not Taking the Gay Stairs." The widespread sharing and popularity of the image and video established it as a common element in the realm of "offensive memes." It notably became a favored choice for thumbnails in compilations of "offensive memes" on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
