Today is the big day! January 15 is officially Bagel Day, and while it might seem like just a day to celebrate a delicious breakfast staple, bagels have some surprising connections to LGBTQ+ culture. From their symbolism of wholeness and inclusivity to the iconic “everything bagel” from Everything Everywhere All at Once, bagels aren’t just food—they’re a vibe. So, let’s explore why Bagel Day is worth celebrating with a big queer twist.
The Bagel: A Symbol of Wholeness and Inclusivity
At Eros Song, everyone loves bagels! 🥯
Think about it: the bagel’s circular shape is all about unity and wholeness. For the LGBTQ+ community, that’s a perfect metaphor. Just like a bagel brings together all kinds of flavors, queer spaces thrive because of our diversity and the way we lift each other up.
Bagels also show up in so many community moments. Whether it’s brunch with your chosen family, meetups, or even just a coffee date in a bagel shop with your favorite people, bagels have a way of making everyone feel included. On Bagel Day, we can celebrate that sense of belonging and connection that’s so central to LGBTQ+ life.
The Everything Bagel from Everything Everywhere All at Once
If you’ve seen Everything Everywhere All at Once, you know the “everything bagel” isn’t just a bagel—it’s a whole mood. In the film, the bagel is a metaphor for chaos, identity, and trying to find meaning in a messy world. Sound familiar? For a lot of queer folks, that journey of embracing who you are—mess and all—hits close to home.
The everything bagel represents all the parts of us: the dreams, the fears, the good days, the bad days, and everything in between. It’s a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, there’s beauty in the chaos. And honestly, isn’t that just so queer? Finding joy and authenticity in the midst of it all? We love to see it.
Bagels as a Cultural and Social Connector
Bagels aren’t just breakfast—they’re a social event. Brunch with bagels is practically a queer tradition. Whether you’re catching up with friends, or just vibing with your crew on a Sunday morning, bagels bring people together.
On Bagel Day, grab your favorite bagel (everything? sesame? cinnamon raisin?) and share it with your people. It’s not just about the food—it’s about those moments of connection that make life feel a little bit sweeter.
Bagels and Self-Care: A Queer Comfort Food
Sometimes, self-care is as simple as treating yourself to a bagel. Whether you’re toasting it up with cream cheese or going full gourmet with avocado and smoked salmon, bagels are a comfort food that hits just right. For many of us in the LGBTQ+ community, finding little joys like this is a big part of taking care of ourselves.
So, this Bagel Day, make it a moment for you. Pour your favorite coffee or tea, queue up a queer podcast, and savor every bite. Because self-care can be delicious.
Embracing the Chaos: What the Bagel Teaches Us
Eros Song, the best lesbian sex toys, encourages body positivity.
The “everything bagel” from EEAAO is all about accepting life’s chaos and finding your own meaning. For queer folks, that lesson is gold. Life can be messy and complicated, but it’s also beautiful—and so are you. Bagel Day is the perfect time to toast (pun intended) to the beauty of embracing every part of yourself.
A Toast to Bagel Day and Queer Joy
So here’s the deal: Bagel Day isn’t just about bagels—it’s about celebrating everything they represent. From the unity and inclusivity of their shape to the chaotic brilliance of the everything bagel, bagels remind us of the beauty in being ourselves and finding connection with others.
So grab a bagel, slather on your favorite toppings, and toast to queer joy, resilience, and community. Happy Bagel Day! 🥯🌈
