‘’Welcome to Gay TikTok!’’
This is the message that kept appearing all over my homepage from different gay TikTokers all over the world within a matter of days of using the app.
The TikTok algorithm had quickly outed me and sent me to the world of ‘gay TikTok’.
It’s is fair to say people have needed an outlet for creativity and have been in dire need of entertainment – TikTok has delivered exactly that and there are now so many incredible gay TikTok influencers to follow.
But what is gay TikTok?
What is Gay TikTok?
The term ‘gay TikTok’ came along as a bit of a joke coined by gay TikTokers.
After liking lots of LGBTQ content from gay TikTokers all over the world, the algorithm quickly turned my homepage into a rainbow of different LGBTQ users.
My feed blew up with comedic LGBTQ content, some incredible LGBTQ activism, a lot of gay travel content, comedic skits and one of the most popular things in my feed was funny gay TikTok couples – the message was loud and clear ‘Welcome to Gay TikTok’.
A lot of gay TikTokers poke fun at this saying they accidently found themselves in ‘Straight TikTok’ and need to get back to ‘Gay TikTok’ asap, just like Joe below!
Lets take a look at some of the gay TikTokers that we love to follow and recommend you follow right now!
