A TikTok video has gone viral showing straight men failing to name gay celebrities.
The video was made by gay social media content creator @stanchrissss. He speaks to men in what appears to be a shopping mall and offers them $20 if they can name three gay celebrities.
As you will see, they nearly all fail to come up with any names.
Are Lil Nas X and Elton John seriously that hard to remember?
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.
Just one guy manages to achieve the goal, plumping for James Charles, Shane Dawson (he obviously watches a lot of YouTube) and “Ellen DeGenerate.” (Eek!)
Watch.
@stanchrissssfor $20 can you name 3 gay celebs? 🌈♬ original sound – stanchris

The video has been viewed over 5 million times and prompted thousands of comments.
“Ellen DeWHAT???!” said one well-liked comment. Others speculated as to whether all the “straight” men were actually straight.
StanChrissss followed it up with a part two a couple of days ago, in which he asks straight women the same question.

Most people, non-LGBTQ people, spend no time paying attention to our issues. It’s not that they do not support us conceptually, it’s that they have no interest in us. It’s why most straight people think it is illegal to fire gay people. Outside some state and local laws, we’re fair game to be fired. Incidentally, it’s one of the big mistakes made by the LGBTQ money people pushing marriage with its land mines over employment.

i’m gay but wouldn’t have gotten the 20 bucks lol
as soon as the pressure is on, my anxiety goes to 100 and i can’t think of the answers. it’s not that i don’t know who they are, it’s that i can never remember anything when someone puts me on the spot and quizzes me

often times i can remember their faces but can’t remember their names. i would’ve been like “ummmm the guy from ‘Mean Girls’… the guy from ’30 Rock’ who came on as the new cast member of ‘TGS’… the blonde guy from the NYSYNC, not Timberlake, the other one…”
