I've just been calling them gay (because fed cops are famously secure about their sexuality) for years. Is there a meme I'm missing?

Not a meme but rather news. The FBI has recently updated their hiring guidelines and, among other things, they've removed "bestiality" from the list of reason that automatically disqualify an applicant.

Their argument is that, for instance, people who have been coerced into bestiality against their will may want to join the FBI to prevent other people from suffering the same fate but are automatically disqualified from doing so.

For a tongue-in-cheek version you can check late night shows from last week.

I kind of feel sorry for the people who were hired the day after that policy took effect. (Only kind of because they decided to work for Patel.)

Wait, that implies they equaled being forced into bestiality as being into bestiality? It's like refusing all thieves and their victims.
