I don't see what's so tough about it. He's exploiting his otherness to cash in on the people who hate him by telling stories about being a rebellious, slutty, parent-shaming homo. It's sort of like comedians whose entire act recycles jokes about how fat or unwhite they are while less fat white people laugh at them.
Probably hates his audience and maybe himself. He might be gay but you....do know that's just some mercenary op-ed right?
