Twitter has been bombarded over the last couple of days with so-called “gay tests”… and some have left us questioning our sexuality. Or at least our knowledge of pop culture!

It’s unclear where it began, but we think the first relevant tweet came from a Lady Gaga fan account on Tuesday. It posted a heavily pixelated image and told viewers: “This is a gay test,”

Given who posted it, many quickly identified the image.

It’s the cover artwork for the singer’s 2013 album ArtPop.

The tweet quickly racked up over 30,000 likes. A slew of further gay tests has followed.

For example, we think this Oscar-winning drama is pretty easy:

This is a little tougher, but we also quickly identified it:

It’s the “in front of my salad?” woman from a cult gay adult entertainment video.

In fact, adult entertainment threw up quite a few tests.

Any ideas on this one?

The images have become increasingly pixelated and more challenging. Can you guess this one?

It’s actually Andy’s makeover from The Devil Wears Prada (as played by Anne Hathaway).

Search ‘This is a gay test’ on Twitter for a whole load more. They’re becoming increasingly difficult.
