Thanks for leaving out the typo in the first word.
There's also another mistake, where it should of course read "do NOT buy anything other than .COM". Not a hard and fast rule, since there are other decent extensions, but it's cheap and everyone knows it.
If my final paragraph below isn't the case, he should probably shell out another $8 for a .com and try your suggestion, which will load faster and allow him to cancel his hosting (if possible), and then just redirect his three names to the .com, until they expire.

Yeah it's normal for these new extensions (or even something like .CO) to have different pricing for any remotely decent keyword, but unusual for the renewal to be the same price.
His names seem to be registered at Porkbun (which AIUI is owned by the company that runs .gay) and are slightly cheaper than Namesilo. But since man.gay is the same price as boy.gay at Namesilo, and at Porkbun it's $700, I estimated his prices that way.

Now I feel bad for coming on as hard as I did, but nobody has ever accused me of not being an asshole..

I wouldn't be too quick to judge yourself, it has crossed my mind a few times that this thread is really all about just showing off the domains and hoping to get something back on them. It's not like he mentioned the price or renewal when talking up how great they are.
