History
From the term fully automated luxury communism, proposed by the British journalist Aaron Bastani in 2014, which suggests that automation will make work and scarcity obsolete. The Gay and Space parts were later added by activists to suggest that this utopia would also end all persecution of LGBTQ people and enable space travel. The meme was popularized in late 2016 on Reddit.
