Gay Twitter Roundup: 'Hole Guy,' Oscars Hype & Shrek's Trans Daughter
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 4 MIN.
A week online can be an entire lifetime!
People who had never seen X's (formerly Twitter) "hole guy" and his gaping hole just a few days ago now have strong opinions on both his level of hotness and level of hole-related talent. We've all been deep into the "Conclave"-ification of our real world (especially in an effort to keep the vibes up while the irl Pope needs our positive energy and bedazzled-nailed prayers) but as Oscars weekend arrived, the spirit of "Conclave" grew stronger, and we leaned into it with all we've got.
As always, we come here to celebrate queer creativity, pop culture history, and the specific power of gay horniness that comes alive on X. We zoomed in on Taylor Zakhar Perez's beard at the SAG Awards, and were reminded that, of course, "The White Lotus" hottie Pornchai's body is tea, it's right there in his name! We made sure to celebrate Doechii's queer history in the making, like Doechii modeling at Milan Fashion Week to her own song, and "Queer" director Luca Guadagnino proclaiming that every great movie in the world is gay (simply factual), and the "world... stop" moment that Shrek's daughter being trans in the upcoming movie could be. There's been so much going on, and it's all quite a thrill. Join us as we dive into the best of Gay Twitter!
In pop news of the week, they're kicking Katy Perry off the planet for what she did with this last album; Chappell Roan's new era is already iconic, and "Good Luck Babe" has someone's brother feeling lesbian, while someone else got "outwoked" in an icebreaker at work; and we were devastated to learn that Sabrina Carpenter is unfortunately not making a "Severance" cameo.
Oscars Weekend
As we welcomed Oscars weekend, we prepared to celebrate Best Old Man Yaoi winner "Conclave" now more than ever. We'll be channeling our good wishes for the film towards the Pope's health and hope that our hype for a "Conclave" win will strengthen him, too. Then, of course, in accordance with our most sacred annual ritual, we think of timeless actress Paloma Diamond at this time. Truly no one is doing it like her, and we wish her the best for her nominations this year.
This Week on "The White Lotus..."
We're still just getting to know this season's guests of "The White Lotus," but there has been so much to consider in Thailand already. We've been meditating on how hot Pornchai is, feeling rejuvenated by how much the three friends definitely hate each other and just barely try to hide it, and found peace in discussing the impact of Rick's hairline on his thirst traps. These are all important topics that we, as a society, must begin to grapple with as we visit the resort each week.
Being Horny Online is Serious Business
And it's the business that we're in! When you're online all the time and tuned in to see hot people, you are rewarded with so many incredible gifts. For example, Taylor Zakhar Perez arriving at the SAG Awards with zaddy energy, a breathtaking beard, and his luscious curls longer than we've seen on him before. See also: The way we can't take our eyes off Noah Beck's pecs in his gorgeous pink polo shirt, we're wondering if Halsey's hot fiancé Avan Jogia makes a cameo as one of the many latex-clad people in their BDSM-themed music video "Safeword," and we're always gonna rejoice at Lil Nas X dropping thirst traps in the lead-up to his "Dreamboy" era.
On X, even bread-making can be horny, and we are all patiently waiting for the full-body reveal of a bulked-up Nicholas Galitzine playing He-Man in his upcoming superhero project, "Masters of the Universe."
"Hole Guy"
He's naturally talented, cute and creative... He's the man of the hour, known only as "hole guy," and his dramatic hole reveal has been all over our timeline, inspiring many opinions about his body and his enthusiastic sharing of it. The attention escalated too much for him, understandably, so he deleted his accounts in response, but what a time we had! We couldn't get enough of him, and everyone on our timelines who kept sharing the video must have agreed. We also couldn't get enough of the varied reactions to a beautiful man sharing his (yes, sure, perhaps shocking, but...) natural body online, seemingly for the fun, exciting reasons that anyone else shares hole online.
And if you haven't yet seen the titular hole, we advise you to put in some work and scroll to find it in the comments... if you dare. Be warned, it's something you really can't unsee.
Shrek's Daughter is Trans, That's a Fact
At first it was a thrilling possibility based on the older daughter animation's eye color compared to Shrek's babies, and now it's completely factual – regardless of what happens in the upcoming film. The people have spoken, and the queer community has decided: Shrek's daughter, voiced by Zendaya, is trans!
Queer History Matters... It Just Matters!
From this tennis diva in "Challengers" to the cultural impact of Riverdale's lesbian lore, we will always remind you that queer history is something special, something we must hold onto. And Ms Doechii is making more of that history by modeling –to her own song– as she opened the DSquared fashion show in Milan! But so is the fanfiction author who made a "Yellowjackets" crossover with "Derry Girls." Queer history in the making, we love to see it!
Before we go, we leave you with a pop culture moment we'll never forget: The solemn studs who danced for Brittney Griner.
