This article discusses the humorous comparisons between the upcoming Vatican conclave and popular LGBTQ+ culture, particularly as shared on social media. Following the death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, the internet, especially Gay Twitter, has lit up with memes likening the conclave to reality competitions like Drag Race. The parallels draw on humor around fashion, camp, and drama inherent in both events. Jokes have evolved since the promotion of a film titled "Conclave" from 2024, further cementing this cultural juxtaposition.
One popular joke is to compare the conclave to another TV contest where a group of people in dresses spend a lot of time in small rooms together as they compete to become the next chosen one.
The next Pope will receive a one year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics AND a cash prize of 200.000 dollah.
As far back as Easter Monday, when Pope Francis passed away, people started making Drag Race jokes and comparisons, and they haven't stopped since.
No one told me that #Conclave is actually about a group of cunty divas fighting for power with more sass than eight seasons of Drag Race put together?
