I might be wrong but I have a feeling that the reason he got pissed was because he actually is gay and found it really insulting that this guy just wanted to pretend to be gay for TV. I get it too cuz like yeah lucky you, you can just pretend to be gay at your convenience, reap the benefits, and then duck out to avoid all the discrimination that you would face in the real world. Of course because of what genre of comic this is we already know that he's going to figure out that he actually is gay or bi later on.
