DEFINING GRAVITY

Rob Anderson is a comedian and influencer known for hilarious recaps of nostalgic millennial content, from Berenstain Bears books to Seventh Heaven episodes to The Neverending Story.

One of his most popular series, however, is Gay Science, in which Anderson applies the scientific method to gay stereotypes. For example, why do gay men like iced coffee? Partly, so they can walk faster to events they’re already late for. (Their bodies also run hotter from processing both real-life and TV drama.)
