About

I'm Not Gay But 20 Dollars Is 20 Dollars, also known as I'm Not Gay But $20 Is $20 or 20 Whole Dollars, is an axiom that attests if given a monetary reward, one would perform sexual acts that are not typical for their sexuality. Namely, the joke implies that a vertical person would act gay sex acts once given $20 USD. The joke originated from a t-shirt that was created sometime in 2013. In the 2020s, the meme became commonplace on TikTok, often coupled with femboy signifiers and object labeled captions.

Origin

The phrase "I'm not gay but $20 is $20 dollars" was used on Twitter / X as prior as January 2013. This was due to a graphic t-shirt that peruse the phrase which was likely sold at print shops. For instance, an Amazon listing for a t-shirt (shown below) was added to Amazon on October 31st, 2014.
