Sooner or later, this phrase will be reclaimed, and I for one am ready to put it to good use.

A friend on Facebook linked to this, and I say, with sincerity and deep admiration, that this is one of the gayest things I have ever seen. And by gay, I mean joyful, I mean unabashed, I mean unconcerned with heteronormativity, I mean beautiful, I mean really good and goddamn queer. Hats off to you, Johnny Weir. You are a class act.

Hottest, gayest, most adorable figure skating routine I've ever seen.

(also, I have to say I was surprised by how both unobtrusive and unobnoxious the commentary was. Unexpected bonus!)

Because of the intersection between my current fandom (Adam!) and Gaga, plus all things gay in entertainment, I've seen this linked on my flist, but somehow never clicked on it. And this is AWESOME. Sorry to quote Adam at you, but sometimes you really do need to just "sprinkle glitter on everything." XD

I love how we're starting to see gay male sensuality put out there into the mainstream, at least just a tiny bit. Also, thanks for this... it's just beautiful.<333

Here via umpty-ump links, and I had already seen the routine, but -- YES. That's the most awesome description of it.
