We rarely get credit in history classes for helping win World War II so why should we get credit for the dawn of a new era? Instead, the Times gives a few gay men a shout out for being skinny and hairless, but it applauds mostly straight white men for this new world order. However, it’s not gay men that have brought us the Age of the Twink. Twinks can be in their late twenties and early thirties if they moisturize or have some incredibly unfair genetics. For gaycists who don’t know, a twink is what gay culture calls a skinny and hairless man who is usually in his late teens to mid twenties.
Congratulations to skinny boys and men who are generally accepted as attractive! The New York Times has declared that we’re living in the Age of the Twink.
