Gay Twitter Roundup: Hot, Gay Cinema Throwbacks, #Whoremembers, and Loving 'Mickey17'
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Being online is so fun and deeply chaotic. Being on X (formerly Twitter) is an unhinged version of everything you see on every other app – and a special, iconic blend of something so strange that no one else will get it. Gay Twitter is triple the fun, complete with horny gifs and hilarious pop culture references.
This week, we dove deep into all that #whoremembers was and all that #whoremembers became (if you don't get it now, you will when you scroll down), we continued to watch and react to hit shows "Severance" and "The White Lotus," we contemplated the hottest moments in pop culture history and celebrated the queer celebs ("Las Culturistas," Slayyyter, Miley always) and the people of Gay Twitter who are making pop culture history right now. Most importantly, we understood that Glinda should have been at the club. Join us as we dive into the best of Gay Twitter!
#whoremembers
However you read that hashtag is the truth. Whatever you see is exactly what it means.
The people of X shared throwbacks to their favorite TV ships and made sure we all remember important moments in gay history, like when Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges performed "Brokeback Mountain" on stage together. Channeling unforgettable moments in cinema, in true Gay Twitter fashion, became a tribute to hot queer kisses in instant classics like "Red, White & Royal Blue," "Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire," "Queer," and "Jennifer's Body."
A moment of appreciation for the person who replied to this tweet saying "oh yeah he was getting his whore member sucked." Horny wordplay is the gift that keeps on giving.
We watched "Mickey17"
Sci-fi film "Mickey 17," starring Robert Pattinson and directed by Bong Joon Ho, has had the people of X non-stop talking. There's a particular gif (and a particular scene) that has all their attention. Chaotic bisexual or not, Mickey17 is the talk of the gay town.
We interrupt this roundup for a very important message:
And oh, we've got some more breaking news coming through live right now:
Horny Reminiscing
#whoremembers aside, there is always going to be enthusiastic horny tweeting, and we're always going to share it. It's so important to be gay and horny online. It brings us closer as a community and makes the world a better place. This week, X celebrated: How good Queen Latifah has always looked on a motorbike; Chappell Roan looking sizzling on stage; Carlos "Abscaraz" being a great reason to tune into the tennis; "The White Lotus" being the gift that keeps on giving; the mind-altering effect of Taylor Zakhar Perez's biceps out in a mesh tank top; the profound beauty of sucking the strap, and more!
We're always talking pop culture history
Glinda should have been at the club.
But we're also making pop culture history every day
Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang make pop culture magic with their podcast, "Las Culturistas," and we may never be able to quantify the exponential cultural impact of the Ariana Grande/Cynthia Erivo ship marketing; the person who coined the phrase "she wanted to work with Kathryn Hahn" is a hero and and icon. So is the person who so generously shared the video of themselves unknowingly doing a cough-sneeze combo live on camera while scrolling on their phone in front of Miley Cyrus –while she was waiting for them to join a call they were already on.
We loved Slayyyter's iconic response to being publicly "transvestigated" by Azealia Banks. We love that Walton Goggins slays at any chance he gets. And we cannot stop listening to the major TikTok monologue that is gonna kill when it gets remixed for the clubs. These tweets celebrate the lifechanging romantic power of simping online, the instant meme-ification of a new celeb photo, and more!
You're familiar with "The duality of man." Allow us to introduce the duality of X user @yasscorrset:
Before we go, we present to you, some important things to think about:
Eating a banana "but not in a gay way;" the question of whether touching bush is equal to touching grass; the imagined cast of a heist movie we can't stop thinking about; the global implications of a "mother board" containing "trans sisters." Nothing's too bold, and nothing's too deep or too out there to contemplate right now.
Bye!
