Yes, it’s true, we’re totally gay
With the help of some friends, we here at The Queerist put together a short video for the Knight News Challenge. We wanted to highlight fun bits of queer art and culture that we’ve covered over the past year. There was a 20 second time limit – we clocked in at 22 – so it’s perfect viewing for everyone in these ADD times. In fact, reading the acknowledgments will probably take you longer:
