After years of research carried out by The InQueery’s Queer Sciences Department, we can now confirm that shooting stars are, in fact, gay.

In a paper presented at this year’s Space Congress on Sex and Gender, The InQueery cites multiple influences for the queering of the astronomical phenomenon: NBC’s “The More You Know” PSA campaign, Katy Perry’s performance of “Firework” at the 2015 Super Bowl, and the iconic crash entrances of the nonbinary, body-positive video game character, Kirby. Although there has been much debate over the last twenty years, NASA using a single 🌠 emoji instead of ☄️ to caption a recent Instagram picture of the Perseids meteor shower was the glue for the press-ons of this cosmological debut.

When asked for comment about our conclusion, queer poll volunteers offered that they “[feel] like it makes sense.” We interviewed one lesbian who witnessed a shooting star while walking back to her Voltswagen Jetta at Stop & Shop last November, “I’d never seen one before, so I wasn’t quite sure how to do that wishing shit…but when I saw it blazin’ through the night sky, I did feel at peace. I knew in that moment that we were made from the same stuff.”

“We know Shakespeare loved embellishing his writing with shooting stars,” said a queer professor of Literature at the University of Chicago, “which is gay enough for me.“

”I just like the shimmery snail trail shooting stars leave in their wake,” said a resident of Carefree Cove, a LGBTQ retirement community nestled in the mountains of Appalachia. “They remind me of chance and passing moments.”

The Bottom Line: If Madonna has a song about it, it’s a gay bullseye.

Rating: The inevitable casting of Troye Sivan as a new pal for Jules on season two of Euphoria
