In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Homosexuals and soup” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 5444 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3500 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Homosexuals and soup” meme mean?
The comparison suggests that gay people are acceptable only in limited numbers and become “too much” when they are more visible. The meme highlights that idea, then frames the remark as a joke through the laughter added after it. It can therefore be used to call out a homophobic statement rather than endorse it. The comparison remains disparaging even when repeated for comic effect.
Where does the “Homosexuals and soup” meme come from?
The quote behind the meme was spoken by Jean-Marie Le Pen on December 21, 2016, during a live video interview with journalists from Le Figaro, streamed on Facebook Live. Asked about gay people’s representation within the National Front, he compared them to salt in soup: without salt, it was bland; with too much, it was undrinkable. The video was later removed from Le Figaro’s Facebook account. The card’s edit adds laughter described as far-right. Available sources do not identify the person heard or seen laughing, or establish when and where the meme edit was created or shared. In the reported legal context, a court considered the statement a public insult against gay people and an incitement to hatred or violence.
