There's no way around this. Really.

Gay Icon of the Week: Blue Ivy Carter

So, it happened. On Saturday the Internet told me the greatest gift we could be given was presented to us.

Big news, indeed.

Not to throw a curveball, but Beyonce has never been all that great to me. I mean, yeah she's cool, I'm sure she's nice and everything and I mean I probably watched the "Countdown" video a good 30 times in a row, but I think I'm just so overwhelmed by this news that there doesn't even seem like there is anything else going on. I'm doing what I'm told. Love rules all.

And I mean, who I am to rain on the parade? So congrat--

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE. BEYONCE, IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT WHOAAA HOTANDBUSTED.TUMBLR.COM IS THE BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR. HOT GUYS ARRESTED FOR FAILING TO SHOW A PROPER FISHING LICENSE?! STUDLY MUGSHOTS? I MEAN COME ON.

THE SOAP. I DROP IT.

SO BEYONCE, GO AHEAD AND FINISH. JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT IN THERE.

aaaaaaand scene.

But anyway, I'm sure Blue Ivy Carter will be every stylist's dream in just a few weeks, she'll be a true independent woman at 4, and will be jumpin', jumpin' at the clubs with her gays by 16. Until then, just enjoy being a gay icon. By default or not, it's such an honor only 3 days into living.

CUE THE GIFS!!
