Started By:Gay or European
Gay or European is a meme where, to the tune of “There! Right There!” from Legally Blonde, a group discusses whether the personality is gay, or just European, in chorusing, "Is he gay, or European?" and "There! Right there!" as they analyze his action. Eventually the man's boyfriend or another person speaks up and reveals that he is both gay and European. It is commonly referenced in vids or animatics, but the text alone is also identifiable.
Origin
The original lyric, titled "There Right There", originates from the 2007 Broadway musical adaptation of the 2001 comedy movie Legally Blonde. Within the ballad, a group of lawyers are seen discussing the whether or not the witness is indeed gay, or just European. The imaginative audio of the musical number was first uploaded to YouTube on November 25, 2007, and has since gained over 600,000 views as of May 2016.
