"Pretty fades and I'm gonna be funny forever." 

Comedian and YouTuber Michael Henry has some thoughts on "pretty privilege," which psychotherapist and heartthrob Matthew Dempsey previously defined in a video in August. The video encouraged gay men to start admitting that they gain certain advantages because of their looks.

Well, in Henry's video, a stereotypically attractive gay man (played by Eduardo Sanchez-Ubanel) was under the impression that pretty privilege, which he described as "a scientific term used by doctors…it’s what happens when you have a really great face, a full head of hair, sexy eyebrows, tight ass, quarter-sized nipples, 8-inch penis…all the traits that gay men unanimously like," can actually be very detrimental.

Henry perfectly describes why that isn’t quite the case. Check out the funny video below!

So What Exactly Is Pretty Privilege?

...but we're totally okay with it.

As much as we roll our eyes at them whenever they appear on our timelines, we have to admit it: we love a good thirst trap. (What's not to love, amiright??) But while we appreciate a good, gratuitous shirtless selfie here and there, some thirst traps just defy explanation. 

Like this one from Twitter user Hiwa Busally.

Is water wet? pic.twitter.com/fUXPL1pLzN

— IG: @hiwabusallyy (@hiwabusally) October 13, 2018

In his video (captioned simply "Is water wet?"), Busally appears to be filming himself in the mirror with his shirt off. Standard procedure for a post-gym thirst trap, right? Well, Busally (who is holding onto and drinking from a cup) then proceeds to pour water on himself, making a coughing sound as the water runs down his head...

After we watched Busally's video (which, at the time of reporting, has over 10,000+ likes and 1,000+ retweets), we couldn't help but wonder what the heck was going on. And a bunch of other Twitter users did too...

According to BuzzFeed though, Busally isn't taking all the jokes and reactions to his now viral thirst trap attempt too hard. 

"Honestly I really post what I feel like posting," he told BuzzFeed about why he posted his video in the first place. 

At least he's being a good sport about it! 

We're Not Sure What's Happening in This Thirst Trap Video...

Our new OTP!!!

So the world might be a huge, huge, hugedumpster fire right now, but at least we have the unrequited, angsty, and super cute love of fictional queer couples like Élite's Omar and Ander (played by Omar Ayuso and Arón Piper, respectively) to help keep our mind off of things! 

Just because we felt like it, here's some adorable AF pics of our new fave TV show couple!

And these two guys who dressed up as Call Me by Your Name's Elio and Oliver are proof of that!

@adamdimarco, forever the Elio to my Oliver. #letsfuckthispeach

A post shared by Sean Depner (@seandepner) on Oct 27, 2018 at 4:02pm PDT

Over the weekend, actor Adam Di Marco and his friend, fellow actor Sean Depner, dressed up as the iconic duo from the critically-acclaimed, queer-themed 2017 film. Although their outfits are pretty straightforward (Adam's Elio consists of floral-patterned shorts, a Talking Heads tee, a backpack, white sneakers, and some sunglasses, while Sean's Oliver is just a blue button-down shirt, short khaki shorts, white high tops with high socks, and a strategically-held peach), they're both serving us some serious '80s vibes that make us want to play some Psychedelic Furs and watch CMBYN all over again!

"I love everything about Call Me by Your Name. It’s one of my favourite movies of all time," Adam told PRIDE. "Sean and I have been talking about going as Oliver and Elio for Halloween for the better part of a year now, so I’m excited we finally got to pull it off. Besides us having a passing resemblance to the characters, Sean’s also one of my best friends, so I think the costume works on a couple of levels. I really didn’t think we’d get this much attention for it but I’m beyond happy to bring awareness to LGBT stories and the LGBT community. Love is love is love."

One thing's for sure: this costume idea is cute as hell and perfect if you're in the market for a last-minute Halloween 'fit. 

Follow Adam and Sean on Instagram! And just because, let's relive the greatness of Call My by Your Name in the trailer below!

The new season of Queer Eye will be even queerer than ever!

The Fab Five are experts at giving men life and style advice, but in the upcoming third season of the popular Netflix reality show, the Queer Eye guys will be doing their first lesbian makeover!

"We have our first lesbian on the show this year,"Queer Eye's style genius Tan France told Hasan Minhaj while the two were shopping together in a video promoting Minhaj's new show Patriot Act, which is also on Netflix. "And she’s formidable. What we do with her, I think you’re gonna love it."

We don't know much else about the third season of Queer Eye, but making the effort to include queer women on the show is a step in the right direction! She's in stylish, capable hands, that's for sure! 

In the mean time, binge watch the first two season of Queer Eye here. 

Season 3 of Queer Eye Will Have the Series' First Lesbian Makeover

"He's mine and mine only," wrote the Kingsman actor.

To the delight of LGBTQ fans, Kingsman actor Taron Egerton might have just come out on Instagram.

On Sunday, the actor (who's playing Elton John in the upcoming Rocketman biopic) posted a photo of a mystery man to his Instagram with the caption, "Cutie. My boy," with a heart emoji.

Fans quickly took over the comments with supportive replies like, "#LOVEISLOVE," and, "OH GOD 20GAYTEEN GOT EVEN BETTER."

According to OUT, when someone in the comments asked the name of the guy in the photograph, Egerton replied, "nah, he's mine and mine only." He also liked a comment that read, "does that mean he's got a boyfriend now?"

How to Use Grindr (Without Going Completely Insane)

1. Blocking is the best tool you have at your disposal

2. Don’t stay on for more than 15 minutes at any given time

3. Don’t use it when you're out with other people

4. Set realistic expectations for encounters

5. Don’t hop on with an antagonistic attitude

6. Relax with the drunk Grindr

7. Take a break completely

Believe it or not, it's totally possible!

The wait for a CMBYN follow-up is already killing us, but it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer than we thought...

Ever since it was confirmed earlier this year, fans have been eagerly and patiently waiting for any and all details about the sequel to 2017's critically-acclaimed, gay love story Call Me by Your Name. Unfortunately, according to one of the film's lead stars, it looks like we'll have to wait a long time before we see a Call Me by Your Name sequel hit the big screen.

According to Vulture, during an appearance at the Savannah College of Art and Design's annual Savannah Film Festival, actor Armie Hammer (who played Oliver in the film) talked about what the production timeline of a Call Me by Your Name sequel would look like, telling attendees, "chronologically in the story line, it doesn’t happen right after the first one. There is a gap. So Luca wants to wait so that we age a bit more so that gap makes sense, kind of like a Linklater thing."

"Luca has walked me through the movie: where it starts, where it goes, where it ends, all the characters, and everything that’s supposed to happen," Hammer also said. "We know this. He’s basically broken this down for us."

While waiting (for an indefinite amount of time) to see if Elio and Oliver ever get their happy ending is literally the worst thing ever, if the Call Me by Your Name sequel is anything like its beautifully-crafted predecessor, it will definitely be worth the wait!

The Call Me by Your Name Sequel Is Gonna Happen, but Not for a While

"As a gay guy myself, tonight's episode was so special to me," said Jake Borelli.

Just a few months ago, it was announced that Grey's Anatomy would feature their first openly gay surgeon, Dr. Nico Kim, in its fifteenth season. And now, the romances are already getting steamy over at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital!

On last night's episode, Dr. Kim (Alex Landi) and surgical intern Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli) shared a kiss in a hospital elevator. 

After the episode aired, Borelli publically came out as gay in a moving Instagram post. 

"As a gay guy myself, tonight's episode was so special to me. This is exactly the kind of story I craved as a young gay kid growing up in Ohio, and it blows my mind that I'm able to bring life to Dr. Levi Schmitt as he begins to grapple with his own sexuality this season on Grey’s Anatomy."

This is exactly the kind of story I craved as a young gay kid growing up in Ohio, and it blows my mind that I'm able to bring life to Dr. Levi Schmitt as he begins to grapple with his own sexuality this season on Grey’s Anatomy. His vulnerability and courage inspire me every day, and I hope he can do the same for you. To all of you who feel like little Levis out there, know that I do too, that you are seen, and that we're all in this together. And to everyone who has supported me over the years, I can't thank you enough, and I love you more than all the stars...

A post shared by Jake Borelli (@jake.borelli) on Nov 1, 2018 at 9:03pm PDT

The 27-year-old continued:

"His vulnerability and courage inspire me every day, and I hope he can do the same for you. To all of you who feel like little Levis out there, know that I do too, that you are seen, and that we're all in this together. And to everyone who has supported me over the years, I can't thank you enough, and I love you more than all the stars..."

The actor has been out for nearly a decade but had to talk to his friends and family about coming out publicly.

"My dad said, 'When you have a truth about yourself and you finally have the courage to speak up and share that truth, a weight gets lifted,'" Borelli told Entertainment Weekly. "I knew in that moment this is the right thing to do. This is bigger than me."

The Ohio native understands the importance LGBT representation can be. He recalls staying up late to watch Degrassi and how it helped him come to terms with his sexuality. "I finally felt seen and understood from a piece of art. I’ve had so many comments from fans of the show who are finally feeling seen by this story, and I just want to let them know that I feel seen too. I’m right here with you and we’re all in this together."

Borelli hopes his story can help other LGBT people find strength and inspiration. "This is not just coming out for me. This is about speaking your truth and being authentic and really being vulnerable. For people who are watching, I hope it can inspire them to tell their truth, whatever that may be. It doesn’t have to be about being gay. It’s just about being honest."

Welcome to the family, Jake!

In other news, the sky is blue, grass is green, and water is wet. 

Today may be voting day, but there's also another bit of news for us to pay attention to.

After last year’s disastrous, super confusing decision to name country music singer (and possible homophobe) Blake Shelton the "Sexiest Man Alive,"People Magazine has decided to right it's previous wrongs and give this year's title to none other than British actor Idris Elba.

Idris Elba Is Officially Named the 'Sexiest Man Alive' Because DUH!

Two full moons expected this evening! 

This week of Riverdale is the highly anticipated flashback chapter where we get to learn about a young FP Jones and Fred Andrews. The same actors who play their children, Cole Sprouse and KJ Apa, will be playing their fathers’ younger selves in the flashback.

While this is all fine and dandy, this isn’t breaking news. What is, however, is the fact that we’re going to get to see our two favorite heartthrobs naked.

The show’s creator, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (who’s also the show creator of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), tweeted that the young Fred and JP will be streaking in the upcoming episode.

Some things were different back then... Others, not so much... This Wednesday’s #Riverdale is an unmissable blast from the past. Teen FP and Teen Fred streaking, because why not? pic.twitter.com/FK1LJFKxdr

While there isn’t going to be full frontal (because Riverdale is not on HBO) there will be butts — glorious, perky butts.  

The new episode of Riverdale premieres Wednesday, November 7 at 8 PM on The CW. 

We Get to See Cole Sprouse & KJ Apa Get Naked on Tonight's Riverdale

Is it suddenly getting hot in here?

According to the promo for next week's episode of The CW's popular teen drama Riverdale, it looks like lead character Archie is going to be getting a kiss from a man! 

First naked butts, and now this? The gay gods truly are shining down on Riverdale this season! We literally don't know much else about the fated lip lock, but we're happy AF to see Archie actor KJ Apa swap some spit with Rob Raco! *dies and goes to heaven*

A Gay Kiss in Riverdale? Hell Yes!

For the first time, the Dexter star has opened up about his own sexuality. 

Ever since his role as the closeted David Fisher in Six Feet Under, Michael C. Hall has become someone what of an idol in the LGBT community, especially in the political landscape of 2001 when playing a gay role was sometimes looked at as career suicide. Hall has continued to outspokenly support the LGBT community and even played the titular transgender character in Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Itch. 

Now for the first time ever, Hall opened up about his sexuality in an extremely personal interview with The Daily Beast.

“I think there’s a spectrum. I am on it. I’m heterosexual. But if there was a percentage, I would say I was not all the way heterosexual. I think playing the emcee required me to fling a bunch of doors wide open because that character I imagined as pansexual." Hall went on, "Yeah, like I made out with Michael Stuhlbarg every night doing that show. I think I have always leaned into any fluidity in terms of my sexuality.”

He might think of himself as fluid, but he goes on to say that he's never been attracted to a man or had sex with one. "I’ve never had an intimate relationship with a man. I think, maybe because of an absent father, there has definitely been a craving for an emotional intimacy with a man. I don’t mean to suggest that an emotional relationship between a father and son is any way homoerotic. I mean an emotional intimacy or connection that at least in the milieu I grew up in was considered fey. I had an appetite to have emotional connections with men beyond beer, sports, and fist-pumping that were considered ‘gay.'"

He adds, "I was attracted to John Cameron Mitchell when I saw Hedwig. But no, as a rule I am heterosexual."

Read the full interview here. 

Tyler blushed as Jaden made the announcement. 

Jaden Smith may have just come out! The actor known for his beautiful non-binary fashion announced that he has a boyfriend at the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles. Smith claims his boyfriend is none other than Tyler, the Creator, who was hosting the festival.

Said Smith to the crowd: "I wanna tell you, Tyler doesn’t want to say, but Tyler’s my mother f***ing boyfriend and he’s been my mother f***ing boyfriend my whole f***ing life!"

Yup @tylerthecreator I Told Everyone You Can’t Deny It Now.

— Jaden Smith (@officialjaden) November 12, 2018

Tyler has been somewhat elusive about his sexuality in the past, coming out as bi/gay, but then backtracking, although fans now are under the impression Tyler is queer.

In July of 2017, Tyler released Flower Boy, and fans quickly noticed some of the lyrics seemed to refer the rapper coming out as gay. On a track called "I Ain’t Got Time," Tyler raps "I been kissing white boys since 2004." He also talks about struggling to hide who is in 'Garden Shed:'"Truth is, since you kid, I thought it was a phase/Thought it would be like the Frank poof, gone/But, it’s still going on."

Watch Jaden coming out in the video and look at Tyler, the Creator blush!
