When people sit down for a meal, everyone is going to like different things, and they don’t want to eat the same thing every day. Our Facebook page is like a dinner table. Why do you think your memes have received so much popularity? and we have followers all over the world – some are in countries where it is illegal for people to be themselves, so they sort of hide out on our page. For example, the majority of our fundraising money is raised through Birthday fundraisers on Facebook – where our followers will ask their friends to donate to HAGD for their birthday. We will post a fundraising need on Facebook, and our followers will donate almost immediately. Where we lack as far as being a giant budgeted organization, we have the social media power of a large organization. Creating memes is something I have always been good at. With the exception of a few administrators, I am the only one who posts to the page. Most of our likes are from people under the age of 30. We’ve posted something like 70 thousand posts since we created the page, and 10-20 million people see our posts every month. How did you garner that much online support, and how do you wield it? You have an astonishing 1.3 million followers on Facebook. We never really expected it (the social media following) to grow like it has. We are all volunteers, most of whom moderate the comments on our social media posts. We serve between 150 and 225 individuals a month at our community center, providing anything from personal care kits to a pet food pantry.
#FLAMING GAY MEME FULL#
We started small but now HAGD is like a table full of virtual support and real world support. In 2014, we transformed into a charity 501c3 and a community center, which has been located in Moraine County for about 3 years. The Facebook page is a lighthearted, nonpolitical kind of place that has made a difference for a lot of people within and outside of the LGBT community. I really wanted to just make a fun, safe, and happy place where people could go and get away from it all – so I created Have a Gay Day as a play on words, since “gay” means happy to a lot of people. How was Have A Gay Day formed, and what does the organization do?Īfter Jamie Rodemeyer took his own life at 14 years old, there were a lot of pages and posts that really spoke out against bullying and pushed for likes and shares to increase awareness of bullying and support for the LGBT community. The Buckeye Flame spoke to Knote about the inspiration behind the organization, the reasons behind its impressive following, and his plans for the nonprofit. If you don't think any of the above situations apply, you can use this feedback form to request a review of this block.Since its creation, the HAGD Facebook page has churned out tens of thousands of posts that feature lighthearted humor, vibrant and eye-catching colors, and non-confrontational content that Knote says appeals to their wide audience.
