For example : Every Falguni Pathak music video .
If you’re like me, you don’t just consumepop culture, you thrive on it! FromJennifer Coolidgeplaying the hot-mess Tanya inThe White Lotusto"Jenny from the Block" getting back with her ex, nothing on the internet fails to catch your eye.
But gay pop culture is worlds apart. With a little bit of oomph and a lot of sass, the queer riches are something else entirely. So here’s a list of moments that live in my head, rent-free.
1.Lil Nas Xgiving Satan a lap dance.
The only thing that could have upped Lil Nas X ’s song " Montero",which is already a massive bop , was its official medicine video that , honestly , should be taught in introduction . aright from the visual storytelling to the subtle biblical references , it created Wave on the net .
2.When Rekha said GAY RIGHTS! 🤌
Every now and then , a treasure fromRendezvous with Simi Garewal , a show that otherwise is n’t commend much , pop up on our screens in the form of a Reel or a YouTube Short and get people babble out . In one of the episode , when Simi require Rekha when she was design on get married again , Rekha , without reluctance , ask if it had to be with a man to which Simi followed up by saying,“Well not a woman , obviously” . It was then that Rekha , with all the aplomb in the world , said,“Why not?“and establish us an iconic second to lionize . The fact that this was tell on Amerindic television in the early 2000s take a crap it all the more groundbreaking ceremony .
3.Jennifer Coolidge’s iconic line fromThe White Lotus (Season 2).
4.This moment from Season 1 ofThe White Lotus.

5.John Abraham’s cheeky moment fromDostana.
6.WhenKristen Stewartdragged Donald Trump onSNL.
7.And when Karlie Kloss was dissed by aProject Runwaycontestant.

8.When Dutee Chand became India’s first openly gay athlete.
9.When Troye Sivan released a song about bottoming.
Nah ! " Bloom " , contrary to the visuals , is NOT about flowers flower .
10.Uorfi Javed on the cover of The Dirty Magazine.
11.The mix-up betweenMoonlightandLa La Landat the 2017 Oscars.
2017 was truly a elusive year for the gays . The mix - up betweenLa La Land — a story of two struggling creative person in Hollywood that brought musicals back to the spotlight — andMoonlight , an implausibly authoritative come - of - age tale that also delves into race and sex , left the queerdom divided .
12.When Emma D’Arcy spoke about their favourite drink.
Emma D’Arcy saying"a Negroni … sbagliato … with Prosecco in it"was some"stunnin'“poetry that should be carved into queer lit for infinity . Period .
13.THAT one episode ofSatyamev Jayate.
Satyamev Jayatewas already way ahead of its clock time . And when you add the idea of sexual orientation course being discourse on quality - prison term TV , the installment was bound to bring a major cultural shift key for the audience , especially for the younger queer multitude watching it .
14.When Milind Soman was “Made In India”.
15.When Lady Gaga gave us “Born This Way.”
I still remember the day I watched this picture for the first time on VH1 . I was only 12 age old and this song was a breathing place of fresh strain that made me want more . Thirteen years down the parentage , I still believe that " Born This Way " will always hold the title of respect for THE gay hymn .
16.When Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan kissed onKoffee With Karan.
17.When Vidya Balan sucked Rani Mukerji’s thumb.
18.Everything about Kajal fromHum Paanch.
19.Badhaai Do.
20.The sexual tension between Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff inWar.
21.“Pasoori” and its queerness.
Coke Studio has devote us a plethora of gems but " Pasoori " is for sure its jacket crown jewel . If " artistic production is love made public " , " Pasoori " is the materialisation of that love devote to God . Ali Sethi , with his bold lyricism , delivers a powerful and very queer message that leaves us bright for the lovers in the song to overstep every obstruction and be reunited .
22.Every Falguni Pathak music video.
For those of us who spring up up in the 90s , Falguni Pathak , with her beautifully unconformist medicine video , was the queer picture we did not know we had .
23.“Girls Like To Swing” fromDil Dhadakne Do.
Two of the bragging Bollywood " gworls " dancing to a song that celebrate muliebrity and little girl just have sport . A second .
24.And finally,“Pooja, what is this behaviour?”
finally , we have the meme queen herself who still continues to decree our hearts . Not to be controversial but,“You do not severalise me what to do”,is one of the gayest thing EVER said . Hear me out , please , for it has all the things we lie with about pop culture — drama , world TV , and a slightly inconvenience baddie . Truly iconic !
