We all remember where we were on January 6, 2021, as right-wing insurrectionists stormed the Capitol following Joe Biden’s win in the presidential election. Now, following Donald Trump’s victory, gays are dreaming of what it would be like if we returned the favor.
On social media, queer folks are fantasizing about what our version of January 6 might look like, with each subset of the LGBTQ+ community playing to its own strengths. When twinks and dolls come together, what can’t be accomplished?
Of course, all this planning will mean nothing without the practical skills to pull it off. That’s where the lesbians come in.
If you fit more than one category, even better! You’ll immediately be put in charge of your own unit.
Others thought things should be broken down by fandom. Arianators, the masters of deception, will tackle the FBI. Swifties will use their idol’s fleet of private jets to infiltrate from above. Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters will sneak in under the cover of night. And Gracie Abrams’ fans, sadly, will be a necessary sacrifice. Fly high, divas.
Where do the straight allies play into things? Moral support, obviously. Cheer us on and keep the authorities at bay.
We may run into just a few problems, though. What if the chaos of the insurrection ends up separating a polycule or two? And were will we fly the Brat flag?
It’s all hypothetical, of course — but in the midst of a national nightmare, who can blame the gays for dreaming?
