RuPaul's Drag Race winner, multimedia mogul, drag superstar, recording artist, podcaster, world-touring artist, Trixie Cosmetics and Trixie Motel entrepreneur, comedian, social media influencer, and Out100 honoree Trixie Mattel has officially declared that Pride Month isn't over just yet. In fact, Trixie has dropped a new EDM bop named "Gay HBO Max Song" to celebrate some of the gayest references, icons, quotes, and characters found in the streaming service.
"Look, as gay people, we live and breathe pop culture," Trixie wrote in a statement. "So making this track using timeless clips from some of TV's most iconic moments felt like the perfect way to celebrate Pride. This is a gay person's brain on HBO Max. Now go put on a blonde wig, click play, and dance."
Jacob Greenberg, Sr. Manager of Originals Marketing, HBO and HBO Max, wrote, "Music has always been at the heart of Pride celebrations and it's how the community expresses joy, resilience, and connection. Partnering with Trixie Mattel to create the 'GAY HBO MAX SONG' is our way of joining the global dance floor and celebrating the fans who bring HBO Max's iconic moments to life. It's loud, it's proud, and it's meant to be played on repeat."
