We were more than a little busy last week throwing the biggest and best Queerties Awards ever in Los Angeles (you can see all the red carpet shenanigans, including Trixie Mattel crying over spilled popcorn, here).
That means some stories slipped through the cracks, and for that, we sincerely apologize.
We know you look to Queerty to be the definitive news source for every serious issue facing our troubled world today, and we canât help but feel we let you down by not bringing to your attention Gus Kenworthyâs phallic wordplay.

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.
Now, itâs long been rumored that the out Olympian felt this way, but a Feb. 28 tweet confirmed it unequivocally â no fake news here.
âIâm a gay man and I can honestly say Iâve never loved @dicks more,â he wrote, garnering likes to the tune of 40,000.
He was referring, of course, to Dickâs Sporting Goods (get your mind out of the gutter!), which announced it would stop selling all assault-style rifles and raise their purchase age on other firearms to 21.
The store also put out this strongly worded response to the Parkland shooting, which prompted Gusâ comment:
I'm a gay man and I can honestly say I've never loved @dicks more. pic.twitter.com/BdyuextBOo

Gus also shared the remainder of the release:
The rest (and most important part) of @DICKS press release. Apologies for not including this in my original tweet, I thought I had. pic.twitter.com/ttj4Y052nG

âI’m a gay man and I can honestly say I’ve never loved dicks moreâ
>this sentence is cult! It could be used so many times after a coming out, like a motto. It is such a liberating and empowering catch-phrase.

AMEN!!!

Gus surely knows how to phrase it………. with or without a press release!

Oh, look – it’s Gus Kenworthy, he of the limited scope and pointless ramblings.

Awww. poor little no one is all butt hurt because someone more intelligent and better looking is receiving media play.

Speaking of pointless ramblings, read your own comment.
Tobi
Limited Scope? Pointless Ramblings? Oh, you’re so talking about yourself, Brian.

Looking at the hot dog photo, Gus ! Your mother is cringing. And the guy sitting in the back is trying not to be a creeper. Too much going on here. Hahahah.
Sam6969
Haha, yes and what a great picture for a desktop wallpaper ^^

One of the famous lines from Torch Song Trilogy: “there are only 2 things I hate in this world. One is Size Queens and the other is little dicks
Lacuevaman

His 15 minutes are up.

Will this man do anything for a photo op? Now he is almost fellating an actual hotdog. I think the 15 minutes have been passed and we are grasping at straws now.
