Gay Twitter Roundup: 'Queer' Nude Scenes, 'Traitors' Hunk Dylan Efron, & Commenting 'Raw, Next Question!' on RedNote
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 6 MIN.
No app is doing it (and by "it" we mean harnessing the power of pop culture events, unhinged debates, and a steady stream of thirsting over people we just learned about) like the queer community on X. But this week, the people of Chinese social media app RedNote, who welcomed millions of Americans migrating from TikTok, came close!
It's been a thrilling week of cultural exchange (the number of RedNote users asking "what does 'Raw, next question!' mean, because the Americans keep saying that under my video" actually needs to be studied) and sharing the humor of the government's insistence that the app is being used for Chinese date collection.
This week: Walmart's logo got a little tighter; we looked back at the greatest TikToks of all time; and we migrated to join the hilarious and horny people of China on their TikTok alternative, RedNote. We cheered for "The Traitors" contestant Bob the Drag Queen and his dragging of Dylan Efron, for whom our affection (and thirst) continues to grow; and we paused to enjoy every detail of Drew Starkey and Daniel Craig's performance in "Queer," another classic from the king of gay yearning and gorgeous, horny cinema, Luca Guadagnino.
The latest horny sensation from Luca Guadagnino, the king of putting queer desire on our screens, has captured our hearts with his adaptation of William S. Burroughs' novella, also titled "Queer." Between the incredibly sexy cast and the iconic, inescapable thrill of gay longing as only Guadagnino can create, we're doing the important work of appreciating this film from every angle. The good, gay people of X have been sharing such jewels as the garters which Daniel Craig himself requested, and gifs of the way his tongue pushes into Drew Starkey's character's cheek.
