What’s going on here?
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.
That’s what fans are asking after the Years & Years frontman and the Grammy Award-winner singer both shared a photo of the pair in a bathroom.
In the pic, Alexander appears naked in the tub while MNEK sits poised nearby.

Alexander captioned it “cancel your v day plans”, while MNEK wrote “valentine’s day is canceled”.
Here are the two shares:

Fans see the dual share as a ramp-up to a collaboration between the two out artists — we’ll be watching out for that on Valentine’s day.
Last July, the pair performed a song together called “Valentino”, and it hasn’t yet been released by either artist.
So you can just use your imagination to guess what’s coming on Thursday.

I finally feel sufficiently old and out of the loop (coming from a pop culture but, it’s saying something), but I have no clue who either of these guys are… *throws hands up* or why this is a big deal. Looks more like gay click bait to me.

Don’t worry, you wouldn’t know who these guys are, they’ve had virtually zero success in the US. If they weren’t gay, Queerty wouldn’t know who they were either.

Well said. Not only do I too have no clue as to who these two are I didn’t bother with the Grammy’s because I could not identify with ANY of the nominated artists and personally didn’t care to see Diane (her REAL first name) Ross because her best stuff was done with the Supremes (the late Florence Ballard, Cindy Birdsong, Mary Wilson, the latter two whom refuse to perform with her anywhere), not solo.

Who?

While the guy’s actions are immature, egocentric and hurtful, it is a widespread type of attitude, and not just confined to gays. How may “odd couples” are out there with a not-so-hot celebrity and a hot nobody; the usual feeling is that the good-looking one is not there for the celebrity’s looks. Let me name a few couples where that comes to mind:
Mssr. Larry King. Mssr. Howard Stern. M. David Geffen (former relationship), Mssr. Dustin Hoffmann, Mssr. D. Trump…

Very illogical indeed!
