We’re all finding ways to cope with the lost summer of 2020, and Burning Man regulars were feeling extra antsy over the Labor Day holiday, when the annual mega-festival in the Nevada desert usually reaches its flaming climax.
Gus Kenworthy was among them, so he headed out to a different desert to don some looks and let off a bit of steam.

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.
This year’s Burning Man was cancelled but it didn’t stop us from getting weird in the desert.
Commenters were very quick to reference Priscilla, Queen of the Desert:
Here’s one more shot of Gus in a tutu, the traditional garb one wears on Tuesday at Burning Man:
Kenworthy first attended the event in 2019, sharing:
My first Burning Man experience was nothing short of pure magic. From start to finish the week offered more than I could’ve ever imagined or hoped for and delivered everything that I needed. I laughed a lot, cried more than I’d care to admit and truly danced from sundown to sunup. I made new friends, saw old ones and welcomed the catharsis that the playa can provide. And, since Burning Man is all about community, here are a bunch of pictures of me mostly by myself…

Bitter? Since when did it become a crime to be rich or famous? Oh, right, that’s why your’re bitter.

Shame you’re not the one burning, one less bitter queen in the world.

Excuse me but they DIDNT GO to Burning man . Let them have some fun. They are young. STOP THE JEALOUSY! I am thrilled that gays younger than my generations has more exposure than we did. He seems like a nice guy. Try to emulate that instead of showing envy

Gus has done some good. He’s had some fun. When he became an “influencer” for Coors, he was dirt to me. Coors is the OG of anti-gay, anti-diversity, anti-worker yet somehow Kenworthy saddled up with them to be the gayface (sure, one word!) for their brand. BARF. He may as well align with Hobby Lobby, Liberty University, Chip and Joanna/Magnolia (but they’re too homophobic to see the benefit) and Chick-fil-A. I love a slut but not one for right wing bigots.

Well I think we can all use a break from the doom and gloom news. This was just a good news bit of fluff reporting. Nothing wrong with that now and then.

Whoever dreams of marrying Gus Kenworthy needs to understand that Gus Kenworthy’s greatest love is and always will be Gus Kenworthy.

How do you know that?

You know someone has self esteem when every single outfit must include showing off the chest and abs.
Eye roll.
Shouldn’t he be in the UK after the US team decided to do better without him?

Pickles I get your anger but WHO is worthy of being cal a Good

Way off Subject. But with all the Transphobia & Attacks on Gay people I had a Wild thought. I Wish Adam Lambert would record ROD STEWARTS , The Killing of Georgie. Redone as a TRANS Song , like The Killing of GEORGINA or Something Like That. …4. 3. 2. 1. Let the hateful comments flow !
