Lil Nas X is making the yuletide gayer than ever before with his new banger, "Holiday."

The "Old Town Road" rapper went all out on the Christmas-themed track. The video is set on Christmas Eve of the year 2220. It follows X through a futuristic North Pole workshop where he takes on the role of Santa, toys, and even the Mount Rushmore figureheads. It's clear that the budget is out of control because X's looks and choreography have us in gagged.

And if you listen to the lyrics, X gives his queer fans another nugget. The openly gay 21-year-old begins the first verse with "Ayy, can I pop shit?/I might bottom on the low, but I top shit."

The video is awing viewers everywhere, but LGBTQ+ fans can't seem to stop talking about this line.

Is this the gay agenda? We've decided to stan!

Leading up to this release, Lil Nas X has to swat away a lot of homophobic comments and critiques from listeners and even other rappers. 50 Cent and Dave East tried to come for X's instantly iconic Nicki Minaj Halloween costume, and while he effortlessly clapped back, fans have even more reason to celebrate X's successes.
