10 queerest moments from last night's MTV VMAs
While most people watch the MTV VMAs for the red carpet fashion, high production performances from their fave artists, and to see who wins and who goes home empty-handed, we were tuning in to see just how gay this years award show was, and we were not disappointed. With queer pop star Chappell Roan making her VMA debut and performing live, this years awards show was on track to please the gays, but the whole night ended up being filled with some of the queerest moments to ever come out of MTV, and were delighted!From pop stars thanking the queer community and posing with drag queens to bold fashion choices, the 2024 VMAs were gay AF.1.

Plane Jane dressed up as Chappell RoanDrag Race season 16 star Plane Jane attended the VMAs dressed up as Chappell Roan, which may be the guest sentence ever written. While on the red carpet, Plane Jane spoke with PRIDE's sister publication Out and said that she wanted to "redeem myself in the eyes of Chappell stans.""And I just wanted to pay homage to this classic Chappell Roan look. The song' Pink Pony Club,' it's really about the queer community," she explained. "It's about drag. And it's a love letter to drag. So I'm just here repping the queen and, of course, giving it my little big booby twist."4.

Stallion recreated Spears' iconic 2001 VMA look, where she wore a bikini top with a yellow python draped over her shoulders.While the whole look was a nostalgic throwback, the snake was the iconic accessory that made you instantly know who she was referencing. The moment also took a hilarious turn when Stallion said, "Stop the music," so someone could come to get the snake from her. "I don't know this snake, this snake don't know me," she said before squealing while crew members came to remove the reptile. "I tried to hold it down for Britney," she joked.
