Excerpts from Michael Musto's 'Why I hate being gay!'

"You spend your whole life fighting for rights you don't even want for yourself. (Marriage and the military? No thanks!)... Gym was the bane of your entire childhood, but now you spend $1,350 a year on it. ... You gym all day and unsafe all night. ... It's not even called 'barebacking' anymore. It's just 'sex.'... You think 'modern dance' means Britney. ... You strangely turned off to Gaga the day she released a song about how great gays are. ... Way more of your friends bookmark Manhunt than nytimes. ... You spend half the day Photoshopping your Manhunt photos and the other half adjusting the lighting in your apartment so it'll match when they show up. ... The different subgenres of LGBTs hate each other. ... I hate muscle queens! ... The LGBT community pressures you to be a toned-down gay to move things forward, so you've basically come out of the closet to enter into a whole other form of oppression. ... You started Botox treatments at 25. ... You work a cash register, but tell people you work 'in retail'... You refer to your trick from last week as 'my ex.'...You've been known to seriously cruise mannequins in Barney's windows. ... You have heated fights with co-workers over topics like 'Wendie Malick or Jane Leeves?'... The Oscars are more important to you than the November election, though not as important as the Tonys..."
