We’re approaching the most cloyingly sweet holiday of the year, but if Cupid has lost track of your Grindr handle, you’re not alone: Plenty of gays are spending Valentine’s Day solo.
Last year, we brought you a dozen tweets about Valentine’s Day from single gays, and now we have 17 more.
By the way, if you’re looking for survival tactics, San Francisco drag queen Juanita MORE! recently gave GayCities five ways to celebrate being single on Valentine’s Day. One of those tactics, Juanita said, is to “spread the love.”
“Call, write, or visit someone you have no romantic interest in and tell them how much you love and appreciate their role in their life,” Juanita wrote. “I got a call the other night from a friend I haven’t heard from in years. I closed my eyes for a second and really listened to his voice, remembering the love and kindness he always showed me. It brought a warm smile to my face, and then he said, ‘I miss you,’ and for a moment my day completely disappeared, and I was reminded again of how sweet life can be.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But if you’re looking for some comic relief, keep reading for funny tweets about spending February 14 as a party of one.

Chaotic single gays – does anyone fancy ruining a bunch of peoples valentine's days by booking out every other seat in the cinema?
I just think it'd be a bit funny

As gay people we get to choose to pretend that we're single by choice, every Valentines Day, rather than unpack and process the reasons why we're not making ourselves available on an emotional level, due to…. I don't know yet cos I haven't unpacked it. pic.twitter.com/NL5sU2rl74

Roses are red
It’s Valentine’s Day
So hey there, ladies
I’m single & gay?????— bowie?? (@bowieowiee) February 14, 2022
Oh no…. The gays are starting to realize that Valentine’s Day is around the corner and are scrambling to find a date. An alternative option is going on a friend date with one of your besties. REMEMBER just because you’re single, it doesn’t mean you’re weird.

I’m a single, gay doctor with less than two weeks until Valentine’s Day, is this the makings of a Netflix romantic comedy?
— Adam (@adamgreattweet) February 2, 2023
Valentine’s Day is approaching and all I’m gonna say about that is that I’m single, incredibly gay, in desperate need of cuddles, and could probably also do with a nice slice of cake (and coffee, always some coffee)

if ur ever feeling really single just remember that i asked a group of gays if any of them wanted to be my valentine and i got no response so it ended up being a conversation of me flirting with myself lmao pic.twitter.com/6lBBPBcLDg

Once again this year, I intend to mark Singles Awareness Day (aka Black Tuesday) in my traditional manner, listening to a selection of torch songs while drinking a bottle of stout.

Valentines day, meh! Sometimes haveing someone special in your life that doesn’t revolve around sex is the best kind of friend. Reach out to them and tell them you appreciate them in your life and they make life worth living. Like at Christmas, the best gifts are good health and the people in your life that make it worth living.Be wise going forqwars!

omigod, please, whatever you do, do NOT send your MOTHER a Valentine’s Day card!!!

Tomorrow is Valentines Day and I am a widower and I still bought some Valentine Chocolates to enjoy! My husband and I were together for 57 years and married the last 15 years in Massachusetts! We both retired and lived the American Dream! Happy Valentines day! Relationships are the most enjoyable!

Having been single now for 14 years, I love celebrating Valentine’s Day. Why??? Because often the world can seem so bleak and uncaring, any love that is around us is worth celebrating. As with years past, I applaud those who are together in love. Bless you for making the world a brighter place.

Another overly sentimental American holiday totally created for commercial interests. Best advice, ignore it.

If it’s any consolation, we’re in our 23rd year and we have NEVER celebrated this BS. At best, it’s hetero commercial nonsense where men get to pay for everything. Seriously, it’s just Tuesday or whatever.
