Gay Twitter Roundup: Taylor Zakhar Perez Flaunts Everything He's Got, and Sexy Paradise 'The White Lotus' is Back

Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 3 MIN.

We hope you had a "happy oomflentines day," and may we take this opportunity to wish a fantastic, festive "welcome back 'The White Lotus' week" to all.

Gay Twitter has given us so much recently: Pop Base made their Jimmy Fallon debut, in which they did, in fact, stun; Ayo Edebiri described her first kiss with a girl who is about to find out the truth alongside the rest of the world; the Hot Ones guy "gagged Gaga with facts;" and Taylor Zakhar Perez once again rocked the world of all genders and sexualities by simply being so hot that we unite in awe of him.






Horny people love Taylor Zakhar Perez

It's only fair that we open the horny corner of this tweet roundup with the new Flaunt magazine photoshoot, which stars Lacoste global ambassador, "Red, White & Royal Blue" star, and one of the hottest men to ever set foot on the planet: Taylor Zakhar Perez. He's style. He's grace. He's got a face that people of every gender would go to war for. He is a work of art; an Adonis; a man so gorgeous that it's genuinely difficult for the human mind to comprehend.




The Horny Continues

This week's horny energy extended from admiration of out actor Jonathan Bailey's chest and his "Fellow Travelers" biceps, to Gay Twitter looking back at some of the hottest actors – from "Challengers" to "White Lotus" and "Survivor" – that we, as a community, have enjoyed seeing on-screen.




No one's got Vision like gay people online

Before we get into the list of incredible queer creativity on display, we have three very important words for you: Filipino Doechii drag!!!

The queer art on X this week included an "Abracadabra" TikTok that we can't stop watching, Tomdaya for lesbians, and the news that Chappell Roan is finally dropping her song "The Giver." Megan Thee Stallion made blowing candles look elegant and sexy. We got to celebrate our favorite "rival masc battles" TikTok, and enjoy a joint slay that Hari Nef manifested. Also: Queer pop star Rosalía's love for pain au chocolat is unmatched. And Jonathan Bailey as... Dick Rider. Literally.








And to be clear: When we say "no one" has the vision like queer creatives on X, we do specifically mean straight people. Case in point, their shocked reaction to drag queen Plastique Tiara's (deeply slayful) "get ready for a date with me" ASMR video:

"The White Lotus" is back

Mike White's fan-favorite HBO show has returned for a third season of murder mysteries, rich people drama, and spectacular locations – and it's just as horny, twisted and captivating as we all know and love it to be. The first episode gave us two separate incidences of likely incest, toxic friendship groups, and a sea of new hot people to adore and thirst over as things get progressively more unhinged each week.






Here's something quite powerful for you to think long and hard about:

AppleTV+ series "Severance" continues to have the good, gay people of X in a chokehold.

Milchick "giving bi vibes" is something that can actually be soooo important. The way that lesbians have embraced Helly as their queen and unhinged crush has been so much fun. And we always love a reminder that "not even to dinner with the Kushners?" will forever be one of the greatest TV moments of all time.



We conclude this roundup with these iconic pop culture moments. We must hold onto our history and make sure we never forget.
