Gay Twitter Roundup: PopeCrave, the Met Gala, and Silly, Goofy Gay Fun

Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 3 MIN.

X (formerly Twitter) is where everything happens: International news breaks, inside jokes that we'll reference for years are made, stan tweets shape the world, and niche hot people are introduced to the internet at large. Gay Twitter is a million times funnier and more creative, making our own fun no matter how dark and twisted our reality has become. So we take it on as our loyal duty to the gay people of X to share their incredible work, and celebrate what everyone's been up to.

Gay Twitter, we love you, and there's nowhere we would rather be! We learned that Donald Trump thinks Pete Buttigieg is living the Frog and Toad life, and that he's queering traditional gender roles at the White House. At the same time, we learned that Harry Styles is having a gay European Spring. Every year at the Met Gala, there's a background staff member who is so hot they become a distraction even in photos with actual celebs; this year it was someone on Lana Del Rey's team.

More distractions included: Why was there Blake Lively twincest in "Another Simple Favor?" How does Robert Irwin keep getting hotter?What is "they/them coffee?" How long can we milk the fact that the Pope is from Chicago? All this and more below. Let's dive in.




PopeCrave Updates changed the world

Update account PopeCrave made our days significantly better with their enthusiastic "Conclave" memes and informative real-time updates provided in a format that the chronically online can understand. The people running the account made international news, beat the official channels to announce that the vote was successful, and then we all reacted to the Pope being American! From being obsessed with rooftop seagull behavior to memes about the Vatican doing life Chicago-style, it's been a rollercoaster ride.







We may as well prepare ourselves. The "Chicago Pope" jokes will not stop for a while.

And to be honest, we'd watch that HBO show.







To distract us from the Pope's "lgbt status," please enjoy this roundup for an all-important look at some thirst tweets.

We present to you: Arón Piper's butt-cheek tattoo, Robert Irwin's underwear campaign coming to New York, more Bad Bunny for Calvin Klein, the revelation of feet pics on Vinted, the incredible power of bi "Grey's Anatomy" actor Adelaide Kane, surprise Blake Lively twincest in her new movie, and the lasting horny legacy of "Hatchet."





The Met Gala

The Met Gala is always glamorous, mysterious, and a chance to see our favorite celebs in a new light. There's hot men who make the effort to dress up in something more than a plain suit, Demi Moore arriving as an actual necktie, Lorde's outfit being an extension of the ongoing gender expression journey, Sabrina Carpenter continuing to do sapphic things, true divas on the red carpet – and there's always someone on staff who is so hot it's distracting. This year, it was a guy on Lana Del Rey's team.






Queer people are the internet, and we're here for the gay fun everyone's been having!

Transing GTA6, living out X-men irl, reminding people that white bi sons do exist, and clocking people based on their profile pictures. During such stressful periods, it's so important that queer people take the time to be silly and goofy and have fun online.




Before we go, we've compiled some tweets that we'll be thinking about for a long time.

Why are hiring rounds getting longer and more elaborate? Why does your workplace think they're better than the Vatican? Will Ryan Murphy make a "Feud" season about the drama that went down on the "Desperate Housewives" Vanity Fair photoshoot? Why did no one gag over the little alien wig reveal?




Bye!
