Saturday Night Live stalwart Kenan Thompson presided over a loose but fun show that spread the love, with major awards going out to Abbott Elementary, Squid Game, The White Lotus, Ted Lasso, and Succession, just to name a few.And, you know what? The whole evening was pretty queer! Below, we’ve assembled a list of the night’s gayest, can’t-miss moments, from LGBTQ winners and presenters, to the biggest gags, to the looks that we were living for.You can see a full list of the night’s winners on the official Emmys website.
