Apple just released a new update, and this one is perfect for those of us who live on the internet. It’s full of brand-new and updated emoji that will surely make our gay lives easier — some more than others. Let’s count down the list of new emoji by just how lesbian they are.
86. Bacon
Sorry, but at this point, bacon is just too heavily associated with toxic white masculinity.
85. Gorilla
I guess Rosie O’Donnell was in Disney’s Tarzan? Other than that though not a lot of lesbian appeal here.
84. Clown Face
Just nope.
83. Glass of Milk
Wayyyyyy too many lactose intolerant lesbians for this one. Maybe if it was “Glass of Soy Milk” or “Glass of Almond Milk” it’d be higher.
82. Peanuts
Again, lots of lesbians have peanut allergies.
81. Octagonal Sign
Useless.
80. Eagle
Maybe if you’re in an America-Somewhere Else long distance relationship you can use this one.
79. Man Dancing
In my mind this is “Butch Dancing,” but this emoji has bad clothes and bad dance moves, so I still put it low.
78. Handshake
Way too casual for lesbians.
77. Carrot
Carrots are a little gay, I guess?
76. Scooter
Scooters seem pretty gay, but then you think about it and maybe they’re not?

I mean, here we are just one spot better and it’s already way more gay.
