He forgot #13: self centered, twit columnists ... you know .... himself. I can't think of a worse gay than Michael Musto.
I can tolerate all of these, except #12.
I can't believe all the pearl clutching going on in the comments section there as though Musto is a serious journalist. If you find Musto's humor a bit dated, that's one thing, but to take his column this seriously is just silly. Anyway, this made me laugh:
5. Gays who’ve entered into a life of relative privilege and rights without having any clue as to what struggles came before it. They think all this progress simply appeared out of the sky, and it came about merely for them to enjoy it. These people have never heard of Stonewall, ACT UP, or even Britney Spears’ early years.

"I can't think of a worse gay than Michael Musto."

. 10. The kind that gab interminably about their sumptuous beach house in Fire Island, Rehoboth, or Fort Lauderdale, but never invite you!
I'm gonna say this one because I love Rehoboth. :3
I'm guilty only of saying 'Hey, gurl, hey,' but like cilantro, I use it sparingly.
I wouldn't list any of those in my "worst". He just sounds REALLY picky.
That's one of the best things he's written in a long time.
Except for "And don’t even get me started on gays who have dogs that look just like themselves."
He just doesn't get it: That happens by osmosis.

The biggest complaint I had about his article is that it should be a checklist of "how many" because I doubt I know any guys who are only one of those 12 "types".

Yep...
"12. The kind who are so glued to their technology that they have completely lost their ability to communicate in person."
This is no way a gay-centric trait. This is really a modern social behavior issue, not a gay one. And a number of the others on his list are marginally exclusive to the gay community. With a slight tweaking of the descriptions they become universal.
Straight people who travel abroad and don't take advantage of the culture has been an "Ugly American" stereotype for decades.
lol we all have 12 of these in Dc . plus several more, we have " wont talk to you if your not on the same kickball team"
Do you think Musto has a date to pride now?

Ha! Every DC gay I know is on a kickball team.
