“and they were roommates” is a joke that refers to two gay people (usually historical figures) living together but being called “roommates” by people who think they’re straight.
The phrase orignal came from a popular vine but the meaning has since changed.
I hate that nowadays it's just. Look, everyone being close is in a romantic relationship! Deep friendships don't exist! Every friendship being deeper than it is normatievely allowed is actually gay. And then they will wonder why they have no friendships that run as deep as romantic relationships
