In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the scientific community (and possibly a few loose glitter particles), renowned astrophysicist Dr. Bartholomew Chumley, previously known for his staunch denial of the existence of the ‘Gay Agenda’ (a conspiracy theory he claimed was ‘more far-fetched than the multiverse’), has publicly announced his affiliation with ‘Rainbow Revolutionaries,’ a local LGBTQ+ support group.

Dr. Chumley, whose previous research focused on proving that the Earth is, in fact, flat (and made of cheese), reportedly experienced an epiphany after attending a ‘Queer Astronomy’ workshop, a session apparently involving interpretive dance, unicorn-themed astrophysics, and a surprisingly intense discussion on the gender fluidity of planets.

"I was wrong," Dr. Chumley confessed in a tearful press conference, his face smeared with rainbow-colored face paint. "The universe, it turns out, is not just big and mysterious, it's also very, very queer. And I'm here to say, I’m ready to embrace the full spectrum, even if that means embracing the spectrum of my own previously bigoted beliefs."

Sources close to Dr. Chumley report he now identifies as ‘fluidly cisgender,’ has taken up drag queen bingo, and intends to write a book titled ‘Constellations of Consent’ — a controversial theory linking the alignment of stars to the best positions for cuddling.

The scientific community is, predictably, divided. While some applaud Dr. Chumley’s newfound enlightenment (and his surprisingly accurate predictions about next week's winning lottery numbers, which he attributes to a newfound connection to the ‘cosmic queer energy’), others remain skeptical. One anonymous physicist was overheard muttering, "This is absolute nonsense. And I bet he's wearing a pronoun pin now."

Dr. Chumley’s sudden transformation has sparked lively debate across social media, with many hailing him as a symbol of progress, while others have taken to online forums to share memes suggesting that aliens are the *real* reason for this sudden switch and that the earth being flat and made of cheese is, in fact, a gay agenda. The truth, as always, remains elusive… and possibly slightly sparkly.
