All hail Pope Francis I, your flavorful new Argentinian pope of endless power and infallibility. Or not, if you don't believe that popes are magic. Whatever!
As the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio addressed his legions of devotees at the Vatican yesterday, noted homosexuals took to Twitter to air their feelings/grievances/puuns. Here are 12 of my favorite gay-invented quips about the new pope, a man I'm calling Jorge Bergoglio Argentina. Because Penelope Cruz won an Oscar for that.
First, a tweet of my own, then 12 of Twitter's gay best.
New pope: "Gay marriage is a machination of the Father of Lies." Ugh, the Father of Lies rejected me on Craigslist too.

The pope has intensified Nick Stadler's appetite for desctruction.

Tyler Oakley thinks Francis I is no match for "Snatch Game."
If the new Pope wasn't chosen based on his charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent, he needs to sashay away.

James Adomian's comment is hilarious, but now I'm scared for Bonnie Franklin.
Everybody who died between popes goes to an obscure, extra shitty hell.

When it comes to the pope's age, Jesse Tyler Ferguson is the new "Doubting Thomas."
Yes media, the new pope IS young...when you compare him to the 12 disciples.

For some reason, Richard Lawson questions Francis's glamor.
Suspicious that if they JUST voted, the new pope's garments fit so snugly. Do they make outfits for all the potentials?

Brad Walsh's commode also has an important announcement.
There is also white smoke above my bathroom which means a bunch of old homophobes have chosen a new Poop

Guy Branum hopes the new pope gives a voice to the flamenco community.
Now that we have a Latin American Pope, what's the likelihood Charo gets beatified?

Bryan Safi says what we're all thinking.
I hope the new pope is Stockard Channing's character in Smoke. #whitesmoke

Finally, Dave Holmes really says what we're all thinking.
The world's 1.2 billion Catholics await the name of the man they will sort of sometimes selectively listen to when it suits them.
