A post shared by Minima Gesté (@minima_geste)The Olympics Opening Ceremony just got a lot more fabulous!For the first time ever, a drag queen will be one of the dignitaries who carries the Olympic torch.

Parisian queen Minima Gesté will perform the honors in her home city. Cue the conservative outrage!Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.“I know that visibility is still one of the pillars of acceptance of our LGBTQIA+ community,” she said in her video announcement. “So having a drag queen carry the flame—and who might fall flat on her face with it, wait and see—it’s an enormous source of pride.”While we appreciate Minima’s modesty, we think she’s being a little hard on herself!

She performs on stage in heels all of the time. Carrying the Olympic flame should be nothin’!Perchée sur des talons de 25 cm, pour des performances de plus de 2 heures, la drag queen @minima_geste est prête pour son relais de la Flamme olympique ?RDV cet été, les 14 & 15 juillet prochains, pour le passage de la Flamme dans la capitale !

pic.twitter.com/KluHEcjCPhThe Paris Olympics may be the gayest games on record. At least 186 out LGBTQ+ athletes competed in Tokyo, and the numbers should be similar this year.

film Music queer Schools students Gay So fetch: 25 fascinating facts about ‘Mean Girls’

Mean Girls is certifiably the Queen Bee.The 2004 film, written by Tina Fey and directed by Mark Waters, follows the transformation of homeschooled student Cady (Lindsay Lohan) after she transfers to public school and finds herself a member of its most enviable clique: The Plastics.What could have been just another teen movie became a cult phenomenon, thanks to an impeccably hilarious and instantly quotable script, a resonant storyline, authentic queer and female representation, and a soon-to-be iconic cast.But from the enviable fabulousness of Regina George (Rachel McAdams), to the heartfelt portrayal of Damian, a “too gay to function” drama kid played by Daniel Franzese, Mean Girls especially spoke to the LGBTQ+ community. Finally, in the early aughts, we found a film that understood what it meant to be an outcast.You might think you know everything about the iconic movie, which inspired a sequel (we don’t talk about it), a Broadway musical, a musical movie, and even its own unofficial holiday.
