Gay Twitter Roundup: Grindr Chats, Horny New Year's Resolutions, and 'Conclave' is 'Drag Race'
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 4 MIN.
Horniness is, of course, a priority for us all, and the sacred, unhinged app formerly known as Twitter always delivers on this. We've got a candid photo of Shawn Mendes' magnificent biceps out in the wild; a closeup of a tennis player in dripping wet, white shorts; lesbian rapper Cheechynaa and her over-18 fans have had an incredible time on stage as she's selected a few chosen people from the audience for a motor-boating experience they (and all of us who've seen the videos in the thread she posted) will never forget. One person says he'll risk it all for Murray Bartlett (relatable content); someone blessed us with a gif of Keke Palmer manspreading in "Nope," and someone's dog is caught up in a toxic yaoi age gap romance! What a time to be alive!
Gay Twitter's cinefiles know that "Queer Nosferatu" is not just a fun coincidence on the cinema marquee, but factually correct. We know and love that the cinema marquees often produce inspiring poetry with the collection of titles being screened, and we know that "Conclave" actually is "RuPaul's Drag Race." Just as clear, especially with the deleted scenes and commentary now released, is the lesbian narrative between the "Wicked" leads, Elphaba and Glinda. Also in this roundup, we reflect on ClubChalamet's best of 2024 films list, and the brilliance and insanity of "Riverdale."
