We all have that moment as LGBTQ+ children when it clicks that we may not be attracted to the people society tells us to be. For me, it was seeing Hayden Christensen wake up in the middle of a sweaty nightmare in a shirtless tizzy in "Star Wars." For Xander, it was seeing a classmate roll over during a sleepover. The gay awakening is a universal event for all of us it seems!
@xanderandjay he's my baby though 🥰 #fypシ #gay #couples ♬ original sound - Family Guy 😂
The couple joke about the age gap in their relationship with a TikTok sound from "Family Guy." Dating someone younger than yourself can definitely bring about frustrations over maturity and roles in the relationship.
@xanderandjay he can knock me out any day 🤭 #fypシ #foryou #boxing #lgbtq #funny #viral ♬ Hey, Mickey! - Baby Tate
Xander & Jay react to a viral video of two boxers who share an intimate moment during the pre-fight weigh-ins before the match kicks off. Even though the athletes are presumably straight, it doesn't hurt to daydream about them together, something the influencers aren't afraid to have fun with.
@xanderandjay round 2 😂 #fypシ #foryou #gay #couple #smashorpass ♬ original sound - Xander & Jay
Xander & Jay play a game of smash or pass with randomized Disney male lead characters. It's quite adorable to see the reactions of Xander as Jay chooses which fictional men are most desirable to him.
@xanderandjay 'ghost' the gay sequel 🌈 #fypシ #foryou #couples #couples #viral ♬ Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers
The couple emulates the famous pottery scene from the movie "Ghost" starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Their take on the moment is both hilarious and cute.
@xanderandjay one day 🏳️🌈 #fypシ #foryou #lgbt #bali #traveltiktok ♬ go (Higher & Faster) - Cat Burns
Xander & Jay lament the lack of acceptance towards LGBTQ+ couples while on vacation in a foreign country. This is something straight people don't ever have to think about when they travel with their heterosexual partner.

The couple play a fun TikTok game in which they point to the partner that better fits the narrative description being asked. You can tell how much they love each other and that their chemistry is strong because so many of their answers are in sync with the other!
