Satirical site The Onion reports that a gay teen hopes to
make history as the first openly gay foosball player, driving
instructor or actuary.
Fifteen-year-old Alex Zaragoza of Peoria, Illinois lamented to
reporters attending a press conference about shrinking opportunities
to become the first openly gay member of any professional field or
social group, according to the farcical report.
“By the time I'm an adult, all the good stuff will be taken,”
Zaragoza
said. “Athlete's off the table. Senator's off the table.
Singer was taken a long time ago. What's left? First openly gay
male boxer?”
“Fuck,” he added, after reading a story on the Internet.
“Already taken. Orlando fucking Cruz.”

Zaragoza added that “president's still an option” but reminded
reporters that to hold the office requires a minimum age of 35.
“[B]y the time [I'm] 35, who the hell knows.”
“At his point I've narrowed my options down to foosball player,
driving instructor and actuary,” he said.
“I feel like I was born too late. … What's left, for God's
sake? First openly gay plumber? Would that even be a big deal?”
