After last year when Reneé Rapp was introduced by the cast of The L Word and performed with her girlfriend Towa Bird in front of a giant pair of scissors, we didn’t think Coachella could get any more lesbian coded, but then we saw Weekend One’s performances.
Billie Eilish was a surprise guest star during Charlie XCX’s set, Lady Gaga gagged everyone with her performance and epic costume changes, plus Maren Morris, Clairo, Hope Tala, South African DJ Desiree, Underscores, Beabadobee, Amyl & The Sniffers, and Coco & Breezy all performed too.
But there were a few moments from this past weekend that were so queer they deserved a standing ovation.

First up is the moment that is breaking sapphic online, everywhere. Megan thee Stallion and Victoria Monét’s hopped on stage together for the hottest performance of the festival and the year — and maybe even the decade.

The two performed a wicked hot rendition of their hit song “Spin” ....

And then brought the house down with the anthem “On My Mama.” Yes, mama! We may never recover.
Hold on, going to need a moment to catch my breath.

During nonbinary Venezuelan musician Arca’s bold performance, bisexual Dominican rapper Tokishcha joined her on stage and the two looked into each other’s eye like they’re in love.

We can’t get enough of their longing glances at each other throughout the set.

We can't get enough of their on-stage chemistry!

Both lead singer Leandra Earl and guitarist Jordan Miller for The Beaches are queer, but it’s Earl’s hot masc energy on stage that turned our heads.

The combo of leather pants, Doc Martens, slicked back hair, and visible tattoos are doing something for us. Plus, she clearly knows how to stroke those chords…

If you weren’t already in love with this butch singer, peep her in a black bikini top, abs for days, and boxers peeking out above the low-slung baggy shorts. We’re fans!

You might not have made it to Coachella but you can still watch The Beaches rock the Gobi stage.

As if that wasn't enough sapphic domination, they were joined on stage by nonbinary singer G-Flip for "Last Girls at the Party."
This is how we like to party!

After last year’s years scissoring reference, it was hard to picture what stage prop could rival that level of sapphic-ness, but bisexual Japanese Breakfast front woman Michelle Zauner dancing inside of a giant clam is just about the most lesbian thing ever.

Zauner also looked effortless cool in her exaggerated white button down, beaded crown, and sexy black boots.

We stan a bisexual queen who lead a band and play an guitar like that!
Trust us when we say you need to see this clam jam with your own eyes!
