22 best queer pop culture moments of 2025 (so far) that prove this is going to be our year
Somehow we're already half way through 2025, and while the Trump administration and conservatives across the country have tried to ruin, well, everything for the queer community, gays are still winning. We've dominated the pop culture landscape, from Chappell Roan continuing her meteoric rise to Doechii proving she's cooler than anyone else in any room to sapphic celebs tying the knot. And the year isn't even over yet! So let's take a stroll through the first half of 2025 and check out all of the queer moments that have put smiles on our faces during these dark times. — (@) These two queer icons got married in a secret Las Vegas ceremony that made us swoon and then got married a second time, with Gabby Windey wearing a see-through wedding dress. Check out the pics, you'll thank us later. — (@) Cole Escola cemented their name in queer history by becoming the first nonbinary person to win a Tony Award in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play category for their performance in Oh, Mary! - YouTube The 67th Annual Grammy Awards was the most sapphic one yet! Cynthia Erivo sang "Fly Me to the Moon," St. Vincent hard launched her wife and daughter on stage after winning Best Rock Song, Chappell Road perfomed "Pink Pony Club" and won for Best New Artist, Doechii sang two songs and won for Best Rap Album, and Lady Gaga and Roan stood up for the trans community. It was a big night for WLWs everywhere! — (@) Jonathan Bailey has been showing off his thighs for years, but he just did it again by wearing little shorty shorts on the cover of British GQ, and the gays were salivating — and with good reason! Jeff Goldblum wasn't wrong when he said Bailey should "release the Kraken." - YouTube Onya Nurve dominated season 17 of Drag Race and finally took home the crown after her fierce lip sync to 'Abracadabra' by Lady Gaga. It was iconic! - YouTube He might not have been able to live out loud and proud in the public eye while he was alive, but Pee-wee Herman actor Paul Reubens was able to tell his own story and come out posthumously in his documentary Pee-wee as Himself. - YouTube The "My Kink is Karma" singer released the country single "The Giver," about how women are more generous in bed than men. Duh. Now, give us more, please. We need a whole album! - YouTube Before you know it, we're going to find out the whole cast of Pitch Perfect is gay! - YouTube We live for Vivian Wilson's scorching takedowns of her father. - YouTube The Met Gala's red carpet is always a spectacle, but seeing queer women like Chappell Roan, Doechii, and Hunter Schafer embrace the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme made us weak in the knees! See on Instagram Kristen Stewart has come a very long — and sapphic way — since her Twilight days. See on Instagram Between this and his role as the Emcee in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, the gays have been eating well this year. - YouTube We don't usually approve of reveling in someone else's misfortune, but it couldn't have happened to a (not) nicer person. — (@) Boygenius members Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker made every lesbian's dream come true this year by making it official! Meet all 40 queer players in this season's WNBA Every year there are more and more out queer folks in the WNBA! — (@) The Last of Us season two continued to prove that it is one of the queerest shows on TV. Plus, anything that pisses off conservatives makes us smile. See on Instagram This year, Vivian Wilson was on the cover of Teen Vogue and landed her dream by modeling for the campaign for her collaboration with the queer-owned clothing label Wildfang. — (@) The internet went into a frenzy when the brotherly love plotline started on White Lotus, and it ruled gay culture for a hot minute. — (@) Pedro Pascal, Troye Sivan, Tilda Swinton, Lisa Rinna, Addison Rae, Charli XCX, and more were all spotted wearing "Protect the Dolls" T-shirts, showing off their stance on trans rights. See on Instagram Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue always makes a splash, and this year was no different. The magazine made history when it chose Lauren Chan as the cover model, making her the first out lesbian to ever grace the cover. — (@) Calvin Klein never lets us down! Gays went feral for Cooper Koch's underwear ad, and we can see why! — (@) Whether Pedro Pascal is an ally or fam, going viral for licking a light-up rainbow pole is something we very much approve of.

REUTERS/Daniel Cole/File Photo Super Bowl headliner and Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar faces off with Post Malone, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and other artists on Monday at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas. Rapper Lamar leads the field of contenders with 10 nominations. The red-carpet show will be broadcast live on CBS starting at 8 p.m. Eastern (Midnight GMT), and singer Jennifer Lopez will host. Winners of the AMAs are selected by fan votes. The top prize, artist of the year, pits Lamar against pop superstar Swift, who has earned more AMAs - 40 - over her career than any other musician. She also is coming off the highest-grossing concert tour in history. Others in the running for artist of the year are Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Morgan Wallen, Billie Eilish, Zack Bryan and SZA.
