Totally Palatable Puns for my Queerness

I love my breakfast sandwiches with eggs and bi-con.

It would be bi-larious if you could just accept that I’m gay.

Some say I am the rainbow sheep of the family.

LGBTea is my favorite type of tea.

If you asked me what dinosaur I most identify with, it’s definitely a queerasaurus

You can’t fire me! I am a queert!

The fact that you think I’m straight is bi-larious.

I’m a pansexuwhale. That’s protected under the en-gay-gered species act.

I was so nervous all I could say was “Hi! bi!”

Excuse me, good sire, I am going to need to comman-queer this boat!

What time is it? Oh, it’s a queer-ter past one.

My favorite sandwich is a bi-nini with extra bi-sil and pan-chetta.

Oh, I just love a good, hazy Bi-PA or a light, nutty wheat queer.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the phrase: April showers, bring Gay flowers.

Have you tried this sushi? It’s pan-tastic.

Did you know that NYSYNC made a song called, “Bi, Bi, Bi”?

Isn’t Pan-gea the coolest?

Wow, thank you for asking! My sweater is made out of pansexuwool.

Hello, yes, I would like to make a queery into my recent order.

This above all; to bi own self be true.
