InstaQueer Roundup: Benito Skinner, Froy Serving Face & the Dolls Unite to Protest
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Welcome to our latest round-up of queer celebs who served, and those who came together to maximize their joint slay. This week: Froy Gutierrez serves face in selfies from his childhood home; we rejoice at the hot, humble offering of another stylish Benito Skinner covershoot; Masson Channing's eyes mesmerize us into barely noticing his abs; to say Nymphia Wind's entrance at the "Drag Race" Season 17 finale is everything would be a major understatement.
Munroe Bergdorf and the Dolls unite at a bold, hopeful protest; we celebrate the powerful moment of K-pop idol BAIN coming out joyfully on stage; and Zolita opening for Trixie Mattel makes for a doubly-sparkly pink joint slay! Let's dive into all the good, gay gold!
We're always stunned by this actor's beauty, especially when he's serving casual face like this. Froy Gutierrez is "sending missives from [his] childhood bedroom," serving jawline and cheekbones where "the trees are blushing, the dogs are shedding" and "this spring smells like gasoline & sunscreen." What's not to love! A wholesome hometown slay.
Benito Skinner's queer, college-set show drops on Prime Video in mid-May, and he's leaned into his stylish coverstar moment. Behind the Blinds talked to the "Overcompensating" creator and star about "the therapeutic act of laughing at past traumas, working with Charli xcx on the soundtrack, and dusting off skinny jeans for one more spin."
Abs-tastic model Masson Channing is serving suave handsome bearded king in this sultry photo. He's tattooed and shirtless, and we're still looking at his eyes! What strange magic is this sizzling hot "all natural single father of two" wielding?
"Reigning superstar" and total icon Nymphia Wind's entrance on the "Drag Race" Season 17 finale is showstopping. Magnificent, glamorous, sensational, stunning! There are no words worthy of describing this moment; We're simply honored to have witnessed it.
"Days like today remind me how lucky I am to be part of such an incredible community that always shows up for each other, how proud I am to be a Londoner and how grateful I am to be queer." trans icon Munroe Bergdorf and so many of the dolls we adore united at a protest against the trans-exclusionary policies and political "discussion" over bathroom laws rising in the UK. It's a beautiful post filled with protest posters and gorgeous faces showing up in hopes that change for good is possible.
K-pop idol BAIN came out on stage and then immediately danced around to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" with the pride flag. This has been a huge cultural moment for the Korean music and idol industry where queerness is still taboo, so we love to see the joy he felt and was able to express in this moment.
A Trixie Mattel and Zolita joint slay would obviously be filled with hot pink sparkling outfits, Zolita opening for Trixie's Solid Pink Disco did not disappoint in any way. To quote the TikTok audio they used for this video: They look so good doing it!
