It's basically about when you're a teenager and you blame everything on everyone else, not taking responsibility for your own actions. And the "poor pretty boy" mentioned in the video linked above is shown in the lines "While you're wondering what the hell to do/Are you wishing you were ugly like me?" It's sort of saying that the pretty boy of the story is so unhappy and blames all his problems on everyone else, and thinks that maybe if he's ugly, his life will be better but in reality, it's his attitude that needs to change, not his appearance.
And it's "Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you"
It is actually "blame it on the boys hitting on you" and yes, you could say that it is a reference to gay boys, which could be understandable within the context of the song for two reasons: Mika is a bisexual and so the idea of sexuality is fluid, and boysxboys, girlsxboys, girlsxboys isn't unreasonable, and also the fact that it is a pretty boy...

hitting on you? so he's talking about gay boys? hating would make more sense
