A meme attributed to the @gaymeme.heaven Instagram account seems to think we’re all lusting after just one type of guy. And the post certainly didn’t go over well on the r/gay Reddit forum.
In the image, “what every vers wants” is represented by Nick Jonas doing pull-ups, with his arm muscles bulging. “What every top wants” is Tom Holland in his Spider-Man get-up, his butt to the camera. And “what every bottom wants” is Chris Evans in his Caption America armor.
Yep, all straight, cisgender white celebrities with tight bodies.
Ain’t this true?! ?? from gay
The person who uploaded the meme to r/gay wrote, “Ain’t this true?”
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 for many commenters, it actually ain’t!

For starters, there were the commenters who like all three.
“I am a top and I want all three of them,” one person wrote.
“I’m a vers, and I also want all three,” another said.
“I’m a bottom, and I want all three,” a third wrote.
Another user pointed out that one position isn’t represented in the lineup. “I’m a side,” that user wrote. “Where’s my picture?”

Others observed that “there’s so much more to life than this,” in the words of one commenter.
“And since when have generalizations like this ever been funny?” another user wrote. “Certainly not helpful.”
Yet more users pointed out the whitewashing of this kind of A-list lust. “We’re all after famous, in-shape Caucasian guys for sex and only sex!” one person wrote.
“No. I’m not only into white men,” said another.
A third asked, “Can we have some color?”
And one self-described bottom said he wanted Nick, Tom, and Chris “far” from him, adding, “F*ck that noise. I’ll be at Bear Week.”

Good god can nothing just be funny anymore? It’s a Reddit post. Not the cover of the New York Times. Daddy chill.

I agree.
All three men are handsome, along with millions of other men of every race, color, and creed.
Godabed
all those guys are a “no” for me. I don’t lust after straight cis men, and certainly don’t just lust after white men. Although I like Zendaya and Tom Holland together, they make a really cute couple. Chris Evans is more into supermodels and dogs. and I don’t go for people in Fundamentalist Christian religious families. Who has time for that. No MAM!

Hopefully, one day, everyone will realize that even the label LGBTQ is an attempt to put people in a box. Ain’t enuf letters to categorize us. We are each unique and beautiful.
MarcyMayer
Great point, but Queerty and LGBTQ+ “leaders” want everyone to think alike, have the same ideology, say the same things, and vote for the same people..

@MarcyMayer
Of COURSE one of the right wing troll screenames is trying to erase any label that denotes we exist. Much easier to discriminate against a group if there is no way for the group to identify.
radiooutmike
I get what you are saying, but I think you are wrong anyways.
To achieve any political or societal goal, groups of people must come together and name themselves. Sure, group-speak and group-mind are serious issues within any given group. You don’t want to stifle dissent.
But if everyone just considered themselves that special snowflake (and I do mean this in the best possible way) that inhibits growth of political strength and effectiveness.

I guess black is just a label. Wake up, snowflake.

I’m so glad I caught this story. I am outraged that every body type wasn’t represented, this is not realistic! Thank you for bringing us this very important story.
Eternal.Cowboy
Did you consciously decide to take on Majorie Taylor Greene’s persona or are you just naturally like her?
white-queer-african
SamB you are outraged for waking up in the morning.
Cam
Weird, Russia’s economy collapsed yet you’re still here. I guess the troll farm free coffee is a good reason for you to get up in the morning.

All 3 would be fine by me. Don’t see the issue.

Tom Holland: it’s prefect.
Mack
I’ll take one of a Tom Holland and a pair of Jonas and I’ll be happy.

People really need to learn how to joke. Jokes can still be worth a light chuckle even if they don’t precisely match everyone’s preferences.
That said, I didn’t think this was funny because none of them included an obese albino amputee snake charmer.
Huron132
I was looking for the charmer too!
scotty
anyone can wear the mask.
super-callipygian expyalli bros ish is only icing on it. UUNNFFFF!!
Jim
Yes let’s promote stereotypes.
Chrisk
Nick Jonas is 5’6. That usually qualifies you in the bottom category.
MrMichaelJ
HELL YEAH!!! Us tops LOVE DEM SHORT GUYS!!
Totally view short guys as my kryptonite.
tjack47
Some people need to remove the stick out of their ass, ffs.
nunya
This. Everyone is too quick to be offended and often over the stupidest shit.

They’re cute but old hat. Yesterday’s news. Kapa, Jonas–all three–and the rest of them. Besides they’re married, have children or married with children. Lust is fine but it dies. I honestly prefer older mature men who aren’t married and have no kids. Late 30s onward. Even Justin Bieber is no longer an idol for lust. He may have a kid and not know it.
Mack
I don’t know, I think he likes black dick too much.
SDR94103
***** for all 3.
Dymension
Oh, jeez, what’s a side? I swear people do make up shit these days!

People need to relax! Make your own meme with your own choices then.
Rock Star
It’s all show biz.
All things must pass…gas.
Also what is Caption America?
Such a short article yet there it is I guess spalling is not Amportaint anywaho nowadayz.
mrswallow62
I’m sorry. But as for putting in a Jonas brother. in my opinion, Joe is much much sexier than Nick. I like men ( of any race) with a rough edge to them. And Joe definitely fits that bill.
scotty
love to see JGL in a spider man outfit or just the mask.
tomch52
And straight men want big breasted, kim Kardashian asses & girl on girl action! So I see no difference in the perfection we all list after!
