My friend Geoff Upton sent out a birthday invite for his party, called Stuff Gay People like, a play on Stuff White People Like<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Come help me belatedly celebrate my 31st birthday with a celebration of Stuff<\/span> Gay<\/span> People (okay, Gay<\/span> Men) Like:<\/p>\n

8. Dance mixes of pop hits.Gay<\/span> people love it when DJs remix and speed up a Top 40 hit, preferably by a black female recording artist. (Gay<\/span> people especially go crazy for remixes of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and, lately, Rihanna. Although she is not black, gay<\/span> people also cherish Kelly Clarkson.)<\/p>\n

7. Low-carb foods.<\/p>\n

Gay<\/span> people as a rule do not eat more carbs than necessary, especially after 6 p.m. (except when drunk). Hence, you will find gay<\/span> people discarding burger buns and shunning toast at their favorite meal, brunch. At parties, gay<\/span> people may completely ignore any food presented, even carrot sticks. Gay<\/span> people will also go to great lengths to avoid drinking carbs, such as the Rum-and-Diet.<\/p>\n

6. Tight spaces.<\/p>\n

All I’m saying is that my apartment is small.<\/p>\n


\n5. Corona beer.<\/p>\n

Gay<\/span> people love Corona for no apparent reason. Perhaps it is the light taste or the very gay<\/span> “twist of lime” that goes with it.<\/p>\n

4. Straight women.<\/p>\n

No gay<\/span> man’s life would be complete without a small army of straight women to listen to stories about his love life, accompany him while shopping and generally help him through the phases of life they mastered somewhere between ages 13 and 21.<\/p>\n

3. Hell’s Kitchen.<\/p>\n

Hell’s Kitchen remains the hottest place in New York City (and, thus, the world) for gay<\/span> people to live. Historically, gay<\/span> people prefer convenient yet ungentrified neighborhoods where they are actually welcomed as a force for good. Since there are still some unrenovated brownstones and sketchy blocks in Hell’s Kitchen, the gays have not yet moved on.<\/p>\n

2. Cosmopolitans.<\/p>\n

Forever the drink of choice of most gay<\/span> people, especially when in a “gay<\/span>” mood, this pink drink was created by gays in Provincetown, Mass. Its prominent placement in “Sex and the City” has secured the cosmo’s position as gay<\/span> people’s favorite cocktail at least as long as reruns appear on TBS.<\/p>\n

1. Other gay<\/span> men.<\/p>\n

Gay<\/span> people like each other (except when they hate each other). This is why gay<\/span> people spend a lot of time in gay<\/span> bars, gay<\/span> sports leagues, gay<\/span> resort towns and gay<\/span> neighborhoods. Gay<\/span> people, it seems, cannot get enough of each other — which makes sense given that homosexuality is an attraction to one’s own kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
