A List of Things Less Gay Than Beyoncé’s Renaissance.
4. The Drag Race All Stars 7 Finale
7. Rainbow Streets and Crosswalks
9. The City of San Francisco as It Exists Today

"No one is saying Beyoncé doesn't have troubling corporatist trappings, nor am I saying that 'Break My Soul' and Soul Cycle are mutually exclusive. I’m saying that when I went to the Castro in February, I saw a Soul Cycle building with a neon sign on it that read 'hope will never be silent' and three self-driving cars, all of which is significantly less gay than the jaw-dropping ballroom breakdown Bey delivers in the final minute and a half of 'Heated'."

The first time I heard "Break My Soul" I couldn't stop beaming - sampling Robin S AND Big Freedia in the same song?!?

AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT

I feel like my life would have been different if Beyoncé had been having sex with women in her songs back in like 2006. It's just a hunch.

Love that the author included themselves in the list!

The original tweet has been deleted but this has been my favourite meme about this amazingly queer album.

If you play it out of the speakers in a Miata, pink glitter spontaneously shoots out of the exhaust

Woah 'Break My Soul' is just straight up 90s house music.

I'm in the mood for some uplifting, happy tunes. Thanks.

If you listen to the album on Spotify or another streaming service the tracks are mixed together too!
