Umm... Is the joke that what we see is actually a very small part of EM spectrum and things that we're unable to see is the vast majority? Or just that "haha rainbow gay"?
Or just that "haha rainbow gay"?
Just because there happens to be a rainbow in the image? I'm not sure where you're getting this at all... There's absolutely 0 reference to LGBTQ content here.
Seems very clearly 'the universe is laughing at how small your range perception is' to me.
/edit, I missed OPs title... Yeah. Not sure what they're going for there.
Yeah I feel like we're getting a derivative joke here....like we're mixing two other ones and something got lost in translation
I thought it was the forner, so unless OP made the meme they might have misinterpreted it.
The colours we associate with the spectrum are arbitrary and are not necessarily indicative of the reality of the universe
The universe thinks correctly.
Sexuality is an electromagnetic spectrum. 
Colors are gay.
Colors are gray.
maybe being able to see is gay
It bothers me that it is high energy to small energy.
It's ordered by wavelength
Yes. It bothers me.
This kind of reminds me of how certain aliens in Star Trek make disparaging remarks about humans being “primitive“.
Also, our refresh rate is pathetic compared to other creatures like flies.
Also also, blindspot in the middle of our vision (the point were the optical nerve is connected).
Seeing charts like this reminds of Dean Stockwell's monologue in Battlestar about how frustrating it is to see a supernova within such a limited spectrum. So fracking good.
where is this scale are the 4th dimensional beeings we can't see but visit us
not in the rainbow
aren't they gay?
oh yeah the whole 4th dimension's gay, they're just shy about it. don't ask don't tell. it's really weird.
laughs at a memes drawn in gravitational waves
