[Calvin Klein’s Boyfriend Doesn’t Want Any Gay People to Touch Him](http://gawker.com/calvin-kleins-boyfriend-doesnt-want-any-gay-people-to-1168040884) This has to be one of the funniest interviews I’ve ever read. The article comments are gold. ---

Eh, he sounds like any number of confused young men trying to figure out their sexuality. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Eh, he sounds like any number of confused young men trying to figure out their sexuality. Well, if someone can “come out” as gay after living as a straight person, I suppose it’s barely possible for someone to come out as straight after living as a gay person. I’d call it an…unusual… occurrence. ---

Proof that it is not just blond women who have more air in their head than normal. I personally don’t give a fuck what he does with his ding-dong, nor where he sticks it and when and with whom. Granted, seeing a naked Calvin Klein might be enough for me too to suddenly go out and say I get the hots for Lindsay Lohan - but it is hard to say you are a vegetarian when everyone has seen you with huge hunks of meat in your hands and in your mouth. ---

Holy crap. Was that guy a character on Zoolander? ---

What an egotistical little douche. And who the fuck is going to take skydiving lessons from him? Wouldn’t you be better off taking them from, I dunno, a qualified skydiving instructor? ---

He sounds like an insecure dillhole, but at the same time, I really don’t care what he considers himself. If he wants to tell us he’s straight except for Calvin Klein, then fine, as far as I’m concerned, he’s straight except for Calvin Klein. ---

Wow. "I don’t believe in labels. I believe in love. But I’m straight. _Straight_. Write that down. **Straight**. S-T-R-A-I-G-H-T. Sure I had a relationship with a man. But he was a rich man who gave me things and threw me parties. I’m straight." ---

Also, if you don’t want gay dudes bumping into you, then what in the blue hell are you doing at a high-end summer party on Fire Island? ---

> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > And who the fuck is going to take skydiving lessons from him? Wouldn’t you be better off taking them from, I dunno, a qualified skydiving instructor? He’s not actually offering sky-diving lessons. What he’s saying is people who already know how to do things like sky-diving, kiteboarding, rock climbing, or kickboxing will pay him to do these things with them. I think this guy overvalues his looks. Yes, people like to be around good looking people. But if they’re paying you, they’re going to expect something more than you just hanging around with them. This guy is going to find that escort is just a euphemism. ---

I’ve never read Michael Musto’s stuff before but now I want to read _all_ of Michael Musto’s stuff. I want to take up a collection to fly Michael Musto to Russia to ask Putin what’s up with all the shirtless bear-daddy photos. ---

I want to take up a collection to fly Michael Musto to Russia to ask Putin what’s up with all the shirtless bear-daddy photos. Musto has always been a fun read - he was a staple at the Village Voice for ages until he was fired, supposedly for budget cuts (?), in May of this year. I don’t think it was a particularly friendly parting of the ways. He has since moved on to write for OUT Magazine.
