June may be coming to an end, but I don't think that's a reason to slow down celebrating Pride. Here are some people and moments I want to wish a happy Pride.
(If you're reading this and you're young and gay then this might be redundant, and if you're older and straight this might be really confusing, and I think those are my two main demographics: like two of my friends and my grandparents. I guess I'm writing this one purely for myself.)
Elton John
Bert and Ernie
I'm not sure if they're a gay couple or just friends with benefits, but either way, happy Pride to them.
"I kind of prefer being the hole rather than the peg," Heated Rivalry
See Ilya, he can be funny.
The absolutely iconic Hilary Duff PSA
Anti-Smoking PSA
This may have been by The Onion, but it's real to me.
This real Josh Hutcherson PSA
Um... what?
Gay penguins
All of Glee, but specifically this clip:
This Katya and Trixie moment:
Pink. Oh, wait... never mind.
Jeopardy! contestant Drew Goins misspelling Tinder as 'Tindr,' like the spelling of Grindr
This absolutely iconic Tucker Carlson rant:
"Please! These gays are trying to murder me!" The White Lotus
Hobama
Admittedly, this one might need some additional context. I'm not gonna give it though.
"Your dad is gay!" Girls
When József Szájer, a far-right anti-LGBTQ+ politician, got arrested at a 25 man gay orgy
Go off, king!
This DIVA
Tubi's 2026 Pride collection
Everything was free, so it's all sold out.
Mets catcher Mike Piazza's 2002 press conference where he said he wasn't gay
He then went on to write in his memoir, "I found it hugely insulting that people believed I'd go so far out of my way - living with Playmates, vacationing with actresses, showing up at nightclubs - to act out a lifestyle that would amount to a charade. If I was gay, I'd be gay all the way." Apparently, he goes on to say that since he was the best catcher, if he had been gay, he would have been the best at being gay.
There's also a song called "Piazza, New York Catcher" that has the lyrics "Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?" and was featured in Juno.
Elon Musk accidentally coming out as trans
And finally, male sports fans
They love men so much, they literally put their names on their shirts. If that's not gay, I don't know what is.
♡Happy Pride, everyone!♡
