Interpretation
The line uses a playful simile—glitter’s persistence and tendency to spread—to frame queerness as something enduring rather than temporary or “curable.” It implicitly rejects narratives that treat LGBTQ+ identity as a phase, emphasizing permanence and pride. Glitter also connotes visibility, celebration, and performance, aligning with pop-cultural expressions of queer joy and flamboyance. At the same time, the comparison hints at how queerness can be socially “uncontainable”: once acknowledged, it resists being neatly hidden or removed. The humor softens the message while reinforcing an affirming stance toward gay identity as resilient and irrepressible.
