Gay Twitter Round-Up: Justin Bieber Is Standing on Business. And Is Benson Boone for Bottoms or Tops?

It's a weird time to be alive: We're feeling unmoored by the endless destruction in the news, while buying sexy swimwear from Instagram ads in an attempt to somehow have a hot girl Summer, and trying to keep up with who straight people hate on "Love Island," all while, as one X (formerly Twitter) user so eloquently put it, "experiencing unknown levels of it's so over." And on top of all that, we've all just lost Ariana Grande's Nonna (RIP)... But rain or shine, X is always there for us, to bring us bizarre news updates and important celebrity thirst traps. Let's celebrate that!

Is Everybody Losing It?

You'll Find It on X

X is where everything happens: Justin Bieber's on-camera crash out turns into a meme that fills our timelines; a perfectly "sl*tty" wardrobe choice for out actor Jonathan Bailey on a film set turned into a marketing tactic; X is the place where people share strange and hilarious stories from their everyday lives, leading us to learn about a nurse giving out "bisexual wrist splints."

X is where we go to make inside jokes that we'll reference for years. This is where stans from every country can come together to celebrate a monumental Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus performance, and it's where tops and bottoms can come together to discuss whether they're picking up what Benson Boone is putting down with his new album's aesthetic.

Celebrating Gay X

Gay X is a product of queer creativity. We're experts at crafting queer joy from life, no matter how dark and twisted our reality has become. So, we take it on as our loyal duty to the gay people of X to share their incredible work, and celebrate what everyone's been up to!

We'll always remember the pop culture impact of Justin Bieber saying he's "standing on business" but "it's not clocking to" the paparazzi; and we hope someday there's a documentary unpacking the role of queer men in Benson Boone's music marketing strategy. The fact that Jonathan Bailey's "sl*tty little glasses" have played such an integral role in his "Jurassic World: Rebirth" press tour is something that will fuel baby gays all over the world for years to come, and so will the way Megan Thee Stallion showed up at the "Love Island" villa looking gorgeous in a gold bikini and got everybody twerking. So much has happened. Let's get into it!

It's Not Clocking to You that Justin Bieber is Standing on Business

A video of Canadian pop star and Hailey Bieber's husband, Justin Bieber, shouting at the paparazzi went viral, and the good people of X ran with it... bringing the phrase "It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business" to life in the voice of "Succession" number one boy, Kendall Roy and "Interview with the Vampire" character Lestat de Lioncourt, inserting the phrase into the most iconic "The Social Network" scene, and even including "Sex and the City" star Carrie Bradshaw's reaction to clocking that he's standing on business.

Jonathan Bailey and his "Sl*tty Little Glasses"

We will forever be thankful for the person who decided that "Jurassic World: Rebirth" actor Jonathan Bailey saying (and wearing) "sl*tty little glasses" should be a key point in promoting this film. Everyone involved in this slayful, suited-up, and super sexy Hollywood Reporter photoshoot deserves the world, too! This "Jurassic World" press tour has been a beautiful gift to all Jonathan Bailey enjoyers, and it's only just beginning!

Benson Boone's New Album Gets People Talking... about His Booty

Is the phrase "all press is good press" still true? Backflipping, sparkly jumpsuit-wearing musician Benson Boone's new album, which Variety says was written in 17 days "and, unfortunately, it sounds like it," has people talking more about the visuals – and which specific gay demographic he's unsuccessfully trying to reach with them – than the songs. Is he performing for tops or bottoms? We can only hope there's a tell-all documentary about the marketing strategy behind this wildly popular singer somewhere in our future.

And Since We're Talking about (Possible) Queer Baiting...

Pop Culture Is Culture. Queer History Is World History...

One of the best things about Gay X is the feeling you get when coming across a tweet that you know will forever mark a moment in pop culture history, which is really world history if you think about it! Sometimes a tweet hits the timeline and you instantly feel in your heart that it's going to be iconic.

When Beyoncé brought Miley Cyrus out on stage in Paris to perform their Grammy award-winning song, the world was forever changed for the better; TikTok user Ryan finally understanding how straight men feel when looking at Sydney Sweeney brings us one step closer to world peace. Vivian Wilson, the trans diva who has unequivocally disowned any association she may have with Elon Musk, is making iconic moves, shocking us with how brilliant and boldly queer she is in new ways every day; Rachel Zegler will absolutely EGOT before she's thirty; and Megan Thee Stallion appearing on sizzling hot reality show "Love Island" and getting everybody twerking is TV gold we'll be watching on repeat!

Hot People Make the World Go Round!

It's so important to share incredible thirst traps so that everyone can enjoy them. Hot people have a unique power to brighten our days, and soften the blow of a difficult plot twist in our already chaotic lives. Even getting up in the morning is easier if you're looking forward to seeing someone hot! For your tweeting pleasure, we present to you: Paul Mescal in the shower; "9-1-1" star Oliver Stark, who has not been in a film but sits firmly in FilmUpdates'... uh... demographic (and so do we); "Riverdale" and "May December" actor Charles Melton is shirtless and sweaty for a sneaker campaign; "The Gilded Age" actor Morgan Spector wore a mesh tank top to talk about bottoming; strict ruling on who is allowed to manspread; a sunburned Shawn Mendes, and more!!
