Gay Twitter Roundup: Andrew Garfield's Blowjob Enthusiasm, Bisexual Wins, and Labia-Inspired Putt-Putt
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 5 MIN.
A lot has been going on in our lives, both online and off. But isn't it always like that? What's important is that no matter how our day is going, or the state of the planet, we keep scrolling Gay Twitter (now known as X) and find joy in the finely tuned mix of hilariously niche memes, breathtaking thirst traps, sweet queer history, and hot celebrity drama. It's vital that we keep in tune with how the good people of X responded to all that was going on! And that's what we're presenting you with today:
What a week! New York City's Mayor Eric Adams was indicted, JoJo Siwa rocked out with her bedazzled cock out, and Andrew Garfield is on record proclaiming that bi people should always be winning (so true). We learned that awards season contention is about to be like "Challengers" come to life, Bisexual Awareness Week was celebrated, Gaga announced a "Harlequin" album, and Lana married her gator guy. Gay Twitter had comments, memes, and jokes about them all. Today, we bring you the best of the past week on Gay Twitter – for your enjoyment, or just so you'll know what's going on when you meet up for drinks with your chronically online friend.
THIRST
It's important to acknowledge the thirst trap connoisseurs of our generation. Thank you, Manny Jacinto for being so hot. Thank you in advance to whichever film director will take on the brave and noble task of hiring Andrew Garfield for the erotic thriller he wants to star in. Thank you to the stan who studiously measured the length of Taylor Zakhar Perez's fingers for her friend without asking any questions... And thank you to the people who tweet unhinged thirst so matter-of-factly that it begins to feel... completely logical. You're actually so, so right. You're all doing such incredible, deeply valued work, and we couldn't do any of this without you.
BI WEEK
Did you know about the bisexual veil? Did you know that the math equation meme woman is a) not in fact Julia Roberts, and b) bisexual? Did you know that your dad could be bi right now if only he would look past Channing Tatum's dance skills. Well, we all do now! And in honor of Bi Awareness Week, people have also been blessed with a video of Andrew Garfield speaking the powerful truth: "Bisexuals should always be winning."
INNOVATION
To be queer is to innovate on levels other people may not have even dreamed of yet. We're talking about going to a park and receiving an analog PopCrave tweet, visiting a putt-putt course inspired by the soft curves of the labia, creating the most lesbian position in which to play pool together – who could imagine such true innovations but gay people? Who else but queer people could be so full of adoration for their partner that they inspired a new phrase to describe gay lovers across the nation? Who but a queer woman could so eloquently communicate the equally alluring power of both yapping and strapping?
SLAYING
No one's slaying like us! This week's gay serves include referencing Lestat de Lioncourt's innate inability to do anything but slay, with everything from his blonde hair to his vocabulary; two of TikTok's most iconic comedy queens came together for a joint slay of almost-walking into someone on the street; and maybe sometimes the guy you kinda recognize at the mall really could be that woman from TikTok!
That's all for this look back at the best of Gay Twitter! Until next time, we'll be right here... considering the implications of Luca Guadagnino specifically only showing Andrew Garfield the blowjob scene in his highly anticipated film "Queer," hoping this supremely bi prediction about the upcoming "Grey's Anatomy" episode comes true, wondering how Future topped the trans charts, and wondering if we'll ever find someone to love us so completely as this "unseen emotional gay man" who stanned Gaga in a 2018 movie theater showing "A Star Is Born."
