When you think of Coachella, the first things that come to mind are desert vibes and sun-soaked grassy fields where music and pop-culture come to play. But this year, more than any year before, Coachella was just one big ol’ gay pride festival. (Well, other than the fact the owner is still very anti-LGBT. Anyways...)
From the attendees to the performers, art installations to the after-parties, Chella 2018 might as well been wrapped in a rainbow flag and doused in glitter—AND WERE LIVING FOR IT. Whether you were there to experience it first-hand or simply participated in Couch-ella, here are 17 times Coachella 2018 was too gay to function.
1. Ariana f*cking Grande premiered her new single and we cried all the tears
2. The Yuma Tent after 9pm was a certified circuit party
3. The remodeled Sahara Tent (aka the gay Promised Land) finally had enough space to dance freely
4. Cardi B, okurrr!!
