As a queer person,tiger sex porn video it's long been my dream to see my community represented in the lowest form of entertainment: The Bachelor.
On Wednesday, comedian Billy Eichner decided to rise to the challenge and offer himself up as fresh meat. "I actually do think it would be cool to do a gay season of The Bachelor," Eichner wrote, "and hey @BachelorABC, I'm single."
Eichner's tweet was met with non-ironic enthusiasm on Twitter. FYI, haters: The LGBTQ community likes trash corporate television like the rest of y'all. Just because it's heteronormative poison doesn't mean we're not on board! We, too, love passing fauxmances and manufactured drama between morons.
The time has come for queer and trans bachelor(ette)s to reclaim this cultural wasteland.

And the Queer Eyeguys showed the world they can be even more popular than the straights on streaming television. Even if you hate The Bachelor (highly understandable), queer representation matters, wherever you can find it.
Here are the queer and trans celebrities we believe are single (though of course these things can change) and could most benefit from a scripted romance:
1. Jonathan Van Ness
Via GiphyJonathan Van Ness is one of those rare celebrities who's loved both by the normies and the radical queers alike. We all grieved for Jonathan after his relationship ended with soccer player Wilco Froneman this winter. Now we all hope for the same thing for him: the opportunity to go an ice-skating date with a big ol' gay bear on broadcast television.
2. Amandla Sternberg
Via GiphyNow that the arm wrestling posts have stopped, it's believed that queer couple King Princess and Amandla Sternberg has gone their separate ways. It's fine, it's not like we were depending on two 24-year-olds in the throes of young love for our personal happiness.
The Hate U Givestar probably hates this show. We'd like to offer her the opportunity anyways.

Listen, we're not taking sides in this breakup, okay? They're both very good on Instagram.
4. Hayley Kiyoko

Jesus might have been single, but "Lesbian Jesus" doesn't have to be. Just imagine the brutal take-down pop anthems she'll make when she inevitably dumps whatever silicone dud wins the show.
5. Trace Lysette

Single or not, it doesn't matter: Everyone [who is good] wants this trans model and activist to achieve maximum possible representation. The world is a far hotter place because of him.
7. Keiynan Lonsdale
He's here, he's queer, and he could theoretically be single. Please sign this actor-singer-beautiful-human up.
8. Janelle Monaé

9. Abbi Jacobson

Abbi Jacobson came out as queer earlier this year and frankly it's all I've been able to think about since. Someone please put her on the show so I can get back to my normal life, aka googling other queer celebrities.
10. Alia Shawkat
This is the face of someone who hates being on this list. Credit: Dave Allocca/Starpix/REX/Shutterstock I can't think of anyone who would hate being on The Bachelormore than the incredibly talented and deeply, darkly funny Alia Shawkat. Still, good entertainment.
11. Nyle DiMarco

12. Billy Eichner
Via GiphyBilly Eichner runs a good goddamn show and is one of the few smart people on Twitter. Most importantly, he's big and famous and he offered to do it.
Sorry, Michelle Obama. For some kinds of change, we need more people who are high to stoop low. That's just how this country works.
