LA Influencer's 'Pride Rules' Spark Online Debate

Los Angeles-based LGBTQ+ content creator Poppylaur recently shared a humorous video outlining her "5 Pride Rules for 2025." The video, which has already garnered significant attention online, sparked conversation about LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusivity. Poppylaur's rules, expressed in a lighthearted yet pointed manner, include prioritizing interactions with other gay individuals ("Gay chit-chat only, or else I'll be pissed off!"), confronting homophobia ("Homophobes get it on sight"), and embracing public displays of affection ("PDA is gonna be amped"). Her fourth rule, perhaps the most provocative, is to assume everyone is gay unless they state otherwise. This rule, she explains, is a statement about her expectation of greater acceptance and visibility in 2025. "I'm just gonna start assuming everyone's gay," she declares in the video. The video concludes with a simple, yet powerful, message: "I'm gonna have fun." The video's popularity highlights the ongoing relevance of LGBTQ+ issues and the desire for open and inclusive celebrations of Pride.
