No sleep, bus, club, another club, another club, plane, next place, no sleep, no fear.
The gay life often mimics Lady Gaga’s now-iconic quote about her experiences on the road. Except, rather than promote their debut album, gays of means fly out to far-flung festivals and pregame at random Airbnbs.
This week, a mom has gone viral for playfully calling out her son on his carousing. He posted his dressing down for all to see.
More than 11,500 likes and hundreds of comments later, it’s fair to say that mom always knows best.

While we transcribed her monologue, it’s worth watching in full. Her English accent is the perfect cunning cherry on top.
She describes her son’s social schedule as follows:
“Oh, we’re having a party. We’re going to a party. We’re going to a festival. Yeah, we’re going to a festival where everyone is having pre-drinks here. Yes, lots of boys, nice party. Oh yeah, Airbnb. Lots of money. Going on holiday in Greece. Dressing up as Gods. All the boys are going to Brazil. All the boys from London are going to Brazil, having a big festival. Big party. SO tired.”
Yeah… that’s pretty accurate. We are SO tired indeed!
“I feel like she’s been building up to this,” he wrote on IG.
Yeah, we’ll say. Mom’s rant sounds like an encyclopedia of grievances. For this one, we’ll need our reading glasses… as well as our rave shades. Market Days starts tomorrow, after all!

Everyone’s dragging this TikToker for saying it costs $1,403.98 per month just to be gay
They call it the “gay tax,” hunty!
The blessed soul who showed his wonderful mom to the world is a London-based lawyer named Christian. And yes, it certainly seems like he lives a good life! Pics posted this year show him vacationing in Italy, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
In recent years, as high-end gays race to Botox clinics and spend thousands on luxury gym memberships, the idea of a “gay tax” has gained traction. A couple of years ago, a New York gay went viral for claiming it cost $1,403.98 per month just to live the homosexual lifestyle.
Food is not part of the budget, but cold brew is ($240).

Trapped in the intoxicating cycle of “party, party, party, spend,” it can be easy for gays to lose perspective. Thankfully, we have mom to shake us back to reality.
“Honestly no category of mother goes through more than a gay man’s mother,” somebody commented, “cuz know she’s been sitting on that for a while.”
Whoever runs the IG account for Grindr–often an enabler of lascivious behavior itself–put moms missive succinctly: “the library was open.”
Hmm… library… reading… librarians. Come to think of it, that sounds like a great group costume.
Halloween is only 2.5 months away!
