This week in Gay

Lesbian supremacy strikes again. Last week, the MLB hosted an All-Star Celebrity Softball game, and much fun was had by all. But no one had more fun than our very own JoJo Siwa, who scored an in-field home run off of rapper Quavo. We’re not surprised, but we are grateful for the #representation. Speaking of iconic lesbian moments, Kehlani was confronted by conservative social media personality Christian Walker in a Starbucks drive-through, and beautifully held her cool and made some great quips about it on Instagram. She also revealed that she was literally in a therapy session when Walker approached her, proving that therapy really does work, folks.

Little Monsters everywhere are crying. If you’re a gay GaGa stan who’s been on the internet in the last ten years, you may recall the numerous sweet gay boy Little Monsters who often populated the fandom. One such little monster was this one, who famously made a video lip-syncing to the iconic song “Alejandro” a few years ago. It’s recently come to the internet’s attention that this same Little Monster is now a Christian influencer on YouTube who has since renounced his GaGa-stanning ways. It’s a truly sad moment for the Little Monster community, and it’s also somewhat frightening when you consider the role conversation therapy might have had in all this. Let’s all put our paws up and free this icon!

Straight people can now play The Sims. If you’re an avid player of The Sims, you may be aware of the fact that the defacto sexuality of all Sims is essentially pansexual – they can “WooHoo” (meaning have Sim sex with) Sims of any gender, as the user sees fit. There’s recently been an update in The Sims 4 which is meant to be even more inclusive of LGBTQ identities, but in actuality, just allows users to finally make their Sims officially straight if they want. (Users are also able to make their Sims asexual if they choose.) This is a rather hilarious turn of events – thank heavens straight people are finally being given their rights! Luckily, however, the Sims team has noted that you actually can’t turn this feature off, because gay people do in fact exist. WooHoo is right.
