25 Best Gay TikTokers You Should Be Following in 2026

@larrayissexyashell

No openly gay creator on TikTok has a bigger following than Larray. The Compton-born comedian came up through the Hype House era and turned a chaotic, quick-witted posting style into 27.8 million followers and a real music career.

His novelty tracks “First Place,” “Last Place,” and “Canceled” spent a combined 42 weeks on Billboard’s Comedy Digital Tracks chart, and he later launched a virtual mac and cheese restaurant. He is openly gay and has never treated it as a talking point, which is a large part of the appeal.

@bretmanrock

Few creators have stayed as consistently beloved as Bretman Rock. Born in the Philippines and raised in Hawaii, he came up through Vine and YouTube as an early beauty creator, and now posts a mix of glam, travel, and farm life to nearly 20 million TikTok followers.

He was named to the 2026 TIME100 Creators list, won the 2025 TikTok Video of the Year Award for a farmland video, and fronted Nike’s Be True Pride campaign. His MTV series Following: Bretman Rock made him one of the most visible gay male TikTokers anywhere.

@otakoyakisoba

A mother-and-son duo who accidentally shaped 2020s meme culture. Olly pranks his Filipino mother Lulu at the dinner table, her reactions become reaction images, and more than 18 million followers watch it happen. Their videos were even featured in Beyonce’s Break My Soul music video.

Beyond the comedy, Lulu has openly answered questions about having a gay son and a lesbian daughter, and her acceptance became its own genre of comfort viewing for queer kids with harder families. The account remains one of the biggest Filipino creator properties in the world.

@chris

Warm, chaotic, and impossible to dislike, Chris Olsen built 14 million followers on everyday humor and lifestyle storytelling. People magazine named him the Sexiest Guy on TikTok, and Forbes put him on its 30 Under 30 social media list in 2024.

He starred in the Discovery+ series The Book of Queer, joined Meghan Trainor’s Timeless Tour, and founded Flight Fuel Coffee in 2023. A second, more personal account carries six million followers of its own, putting him among the most popular male TikTokers by total reach.

@nickychampa

Half of one of the most documented gay couples on the internet. Nicky Champa built a 13 million follower channel alongside then-partner Pierre Boo, and between them they passed 26 million, enough that Forbes wrote about their relationship as a shift in how young audiences saw queer love.

The two married in 2022 and separated the following year. Nicky’s solo content leans into style, home projects, travel, and unusually honest posts about life after a long relationship. His outfit videos alone justify the follow.

@itspierreboo

The other half of that couple, and thriving independently at around 13 million followers. Pierre Boo posts from Paris and around France with a happy-go-lucky energy that made him a favorite well outside francophone audiences.

His content mixes dance, humor, and travel, and both he and Nicky kept their channels separate throughout the relationship, which is exactly why both survived its end. He and Nicky also starred together in a Fenty campaign.

@rickeythompson

Bullied as a kid in North Carolina, Rickey Thompson now makes some of the most joyful comedy on the app. He started on Vine, moved to Los Angeles, and turned relentless positivity and sharp one-liners into more than 11 million TikTok followers.

He co-hosts the podcast We Said What We Said and has become a fixture at fashion weeks and awards shows. Among funny gay TikTokers his delivery is the most imitated on the platform, and he ranks alongside the biggest Black TikTokers working today.

@oldgays

Four men in their sixties and seventies became one of the biggest LGBTQ accounts on the platform, and it is genuinely moving as well as funny. Robert Reeves, Mick Peterson, Bill Lyons, and Jessay Martin share a house in Palm Springs and post trend recreations, thirst traps, and stories from decades of gay history.

With 10.8 million followers, they offer something almost no other account does: a picture of gay men growing old happily, made by men who lived through the eras when that was not a given.

@sugarandspice

Identical twins from Long Island who transform into what they call the dolls that came to life, and 7.6 million followers turn up for it. They gained their first following on Vine as teenagers, then became the first sibling contestants in RuPaul’s Drag Race history on season 15.

Their comedy, looks, and rhyming answers to fan questions made them TikTok stars before the show ever aired. Drag translates to short-form better than almost any other format, and they are the proof.

@joshhelfgott

The most-watched LGBTQ news explainer on the platform. Josh Helfgott’s Gay News series covers queer history, rights, and current events for 5.9 million followers, in a format that stays clear without flattening the subject.

Raised on Long Island by two mothers, he was profiled by The Washington Post, highlighted by The Advocate for mobilizing LGBTQ voters, and invited to the White House Pride celebration in 2023.

@louiecastro

Loud, unfiltered, and very funny, Louie Castro built 5.6 million followers on bilingual storytelling, glam tutorials, and comedy rooted in Hispanic family life. His signature sign-off is known well beyond his own comment section.

Raised in Watsonville, California, he covers quinceaneras, cooking, storytimes, and duet-style commentary where his facial expressions do most of the work. He is one of the most recognizable Latino gay creators on the app. For more creators in that space, see our list of the hottest Latina TikTokers.

@stevenking

A 47-year-old creator from Arizona who stumbled onto TikTok by accident and built 3 million followers sharing his daily life, his 24-year relationship with his husband, and his sobriety.

When he noticed his comments filling with questions from LGBTQ teenagers about coming out, he started livestreaming answers rather than ignoring them. That sense of responsibility toward younger viewers is what separates his account from the rest of the lifestyle tier.

@kevinjamesthornton

Growing up gay in a fundamentalist church turned out to be a comedy goldmine. Kevin James Thornton mines those cringey, heartfelt memories with a splash of autotune, and 1.8 million followers turn up for it.

He toured one-man shows for years before TikTok found him, and it shows in the craft. His special Be Yourself is on Amazon Prime and Apple TV, his book Big Baby is out, and he has been featured everywhere from The New Yorker to NPR.

@jonkung

A self-taught Detroit chef who started posting survival cooking during the pandemic and ended up with 1.7 million followers and a cookbook. Kung, who is nonbinary and uses they and them, calls themself a third-culture cook.

The recipes range from Faygo orange chicken to anime-inspired dishes, and the teaching is genuinely good rather than performative. Their debut cookbook Kung Food came out in 2023.

@bennydrama7

Celebrity impressions and original characters made Benito Skinner one of the sharpest comedians to come out of short-form video. His Kourtney Kardashian and Lana Del Rey bits, plus characters like Jenni the Hairdresser, built a following that carried him well past the app.

In 2025 he created and starred in Overcompensating for Amazon Prime Video, a series drawn from his own experience of coming out. Raised Catholic in Boise, Idaho, he has turned that background into his best material.

@romeo_twi

Young, charming, and refreshingly open about the awkward parts. Romeo posts funny takes on coming out, first dates, and the general chaos of early gay adulthood to 1.6 million followers.

Creators like Romeo are the reason TikTok changed things for closeted teenagers. Seeing someone the same age being visibly comfortable does more than any campaign.

@aarongoldyboy

Short, punchy comedy videos built Aaron Goldy an audience of more than 1.4 million and a reported seven-figure annual income from brand work. His sketches run on precise timing rather than spectacle.

He is a good example of how a mid-sized gay creator can out-earn much larger accounts by owning a specific comedic voice brands can actually work with. For the wider picture on creator income, see our guide to how much TikTok influencers make.

@samcushing

Fitness content without the toxicity. Sam Cushing posts workouts, wellness, piano, Spanish practice, and travel across his channels, with 895,000 Instagram followers and a strong short-form presence alongside a YouTube audience.

He is one of the more grounded voices in gay fitness content, a corner of the internet where body pressure runs high. For more creators in this lane, see our list of TikTok fitness influencers.

@thepropertylovers

Husbands, dads to three, and serial renovators. PJ and Thomas McKay document home projects and family life to 788,000 Instagram followers and a growing short-form audience, with a YouTube channel that anchors the whole operation.

Gay parenting content is still scarce, and theirs is warm without being saccharine. A useful follow whether you are here for the renovations or the family.

@pink_neinu

A Los Angeles drag artist whose transformations are worth watching purely as technique. Pink Neinu mixes comedy, lip syncs, and makeup tutorials that range from wearable to gloriously strange, with 720,000 followers.

The tributes to Shea Coulee and Trixie Mattel are standouts, and the then-versus-now comparison videos are refreshingly self-deprecating. Pink also uses the platform for Black Lives Matter advocacy.

@brettneyspears

A niche done perfectly. Brett Miller uses TikTok filters to rank, sort, and give very strong opinions on Disney characters, and the format has earned him a devoted following of around 700,000.

He is proof that a tightly defined lane beats broad content on this app. His ranking videos get quoted and stitched far beyond his own follower count.

@abeyoon

Dry, sarcastic, and pointed. Abe Yoon uses comedy to unpack racism in gay dating, Asian stereotypes, and the microaggressions that come with both, and he does it without ever sounding like a lecture.

His bit mimicking men who announce they would never date an Asian is among the most-shared commentary videos in this space. Gay Asian creators remain underrepresented, and he is one of the sharpest.

@mattxiv

Makeup as political commentary is a genuinely original idea, and Matt Bernstein made it work. He pairs bold looks with infographics on LGBTQ issues, holding 333,000 TikTok followers and 2.2 million on Instagram, where the format started.

He hosts A Bit Fruity, one of the more thoughtful queer culture podcasts around. He has spoken publicly about realizing he was gay at ten and not coming out until fifteen.

@doctorcarlton

Actual medical advice from an actual doctor, aimed at people who often avoid asking. A gay gastroenterologist based in San Diego, Doctor Carlton covers sexual health, digestion, and body concerns with a friendliness that defuses the awkwardness.

He has been named to the OUT100 and the Queerty Pride 50, and he also explains how to find LGBTQ-friendly doctors, which is practical information that is genuinely hard to come by.

@kayeshurricane

A gay Arab Muslim creator based in the United States, Kais Boukthir makes goofy, warm comedy built on dating jokes and pop culture, with 270,000 followers and 8.3 million likes. He has also appeared on the HBO series We’re Here.

The humor is the draw; the representation is what makes the account matter. Visibility for brown and Muslim LGBTQ people remains thin, and for many viewers he is the first person like them they have seen being openly happy online.
