Qmmunity: Homoscope Is Where the Heart Is

I’m gazing into my crystal ball/tarot deck/Google search results, and they’re all telling me you’re totally gay. Wait, was that not your question? In any case, time for another edition of Homoscopes, everyone’s favorite Qmmunity column format. Feel free to interpret these event suggestions as you want: Moon sign or sun sign, ascendent or descendent, it’s all gay to me!

Shoutout to this week’s sign, Aries. You should never count out the creative and industrious ram. Aries folks have always got one more trick up their sleeves ready to wow the crowd. Famos with your sign include Elton John, Eddie Murphy, and even Mama Monster Lady Gaga – so y’all are in good company. Happy birthday, Aries, and flame on!
