Best gay friend who isnt gay
I am not your Lgbtq+ Best Friend
I am privileged to live in an age where opinion is changing rapidly on homosexuality. Surveys show our generation is overwhelmingly accepting of same-sex couples and of homosexuality itself. And yet, there remains one particular, pernicious expression of disrespect for gay men, almost entirely unique to well-meaning straight women. It is this: the Gay Top Friend.
For the uninitiated, the Gay Best Friend (n.), also Sassy Gay Ally or abbreviated simply as Gay Friend, is a fabulous creature full of sassy advice, put on earth for the sole purpose of advising hapless straight girls bogged down by the weight of decisions about boys and fashion and stuff. For more, see: the Bravo Network.
I was recently reminded of the prevalence of this idea. First, a girl invited a (lowercase) gay friend of mine to her special dinner, because, turns out, she was in a contest with her girl buddy “to see which of our Sassy Gay Friends is funnier!” While I was at Stanford in Washington, people jokingly discussed our mock political futures, as Stanford students are apt to do during a quarter in D.C. One oft-repeated suggestion for my future was that I become Chels

The Gay Best Friend Theory
For the millionth time, I detest writing about gay people. As Just Josh touches upon in this announce, homosexuality should not be (and, it isn’t) such a big deal.
Yet, I love educating and enlightening people. The purpose of this post will be to clear up some of the misconceptions concerning what I like to call, the Gay Foremost Friend Theory. Clearly this theory doesn’t apply to me, as I’m lgbtq+, but I have no friends, so…
Unlike me, Chris Colfer is gay and has lots of fans and followers. He even published a book! A man of many talents. Image via timeinc.net.
Anyway, I’m sure you’ve heard someone on TV or someone in your school state something along the lines of “Oh my gosh, I need a same-sex attracted best friend” or “Ugh, girls are so foolish, I wish I had a gay best friend.” There’s an idea in pop culture and in contemporary society that unbent girls just need a (stereotypically male) gay leading friend. Heck, Teen Vogue told its readers that “GBFs” are the modern hottest accessory.
I like to logically think about things before I tear them apart. I can notice why the stereotype of the “

We drifted apart when I went assist to grad college and she got back together with her boyfriend (again). Our experience got me through a rough patch in my life and now, I am more open and aware of how I feel about other people."
"We were spending so much of our free time together. We'd play video games together, work out at the gym together, and leave out of our way to dress up to execute something special together. I was sleeping over in her bed and just cuddling like three nights a week. Somewhere situated between Easter Island and Papua New Guinea, perfectly pinned on a straight line between the Great Pyramid and the Nazca Lines lies the Isle of Dystropia, the place where every cliché and worn-out convention sticks out like rubble in the sand. Pawing through the debris, you'll uncover the trope that may just produce or break your story. Each installment, we'll explore a different literary platitude, examining it for its various strengths and weaknesses. Arrange sail for Dystropia, where you might just learn something about your writing and yourself. Okay, so most of society has moved past the “All Gays Are Pedophiles” trope and left behind the thought of homosexuality as something to be cured, although we’re still waiting for some of the world to hold up. Yet, gays in fiction still often get a bizarre treatment – they’re frequently treated as novelties. This is where the Sassy Lgbtq+ Friend, or Pet Homosexual, emerges. Seemingly planted into a purely straight cosmos so the creator can appear more diverse, the Pet is paraded around much like a court jester, conclude with cheap laughs and behavioral odditie
I had no concept what was going on because juvenile, queer, repressed me had never gotten the chance to experience this courteous of thing before. I think she was a minuscule lonely and my anxiety disorder was really bad at that point. We talk sometimes, but there's distance — physical and feeling.
