Zane Phillips with PBR? What is this celebration of masculinity?

I am not religious but thank baby jesus that Madonna is still here. I saw her new show opening night and it was incredible. She has never sounded so good.

Can you imagine dating Billy Porter? I almost throw up just thinking about it.

He gives new meaning to the term high maintenance.

Shouldn’t SUCH BRILLIANT TALENTS and ETERNAL ‘Thirst Traps’ as all these
VOLUNTEER to take the place of hostages held by Demonic Hamas?
After all, such BRILLIANCE, BEAUTY, and INFLUENTIAL ATTRACTIVENESS would easily win the release of 8 or 10 hostages EACH! Maybe more!
Why haven’t ALL the ‘Thirst Traps’ showcased in Queerty volunteered?????? Wouldn’t Demonic Hamas be delighted to have them?
Well???????????
mujerado
That is without doubt the ugliest post I’ve ever seen on this Queerty page.

Dude, are you ok? Please check your water supply in Virginia.

Apparently readers here are Anti-Semites and/or have no humane moral feelings for hostages and/or think Queer Celebrities, Influencers and Thirst Traps are such cowards that they would not even contemplate offering to take the place of hostages. WOW!

I love Pedro Pascal. He can do no wrong in my eyes
