Best gay friend who isnt gay
The Gay Best Friend Theory
For the millionth time, I detest writing about gay people. As Just Josh touches upon in this publish, 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 Top 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 utter something along the lines of “Oh my gosh, I need a same-sex attracted best friend” or “Ugh, girls are so idiotic, I wish I had a gay best friend.” There’s an idea in pop culture and in contemporary society that direct 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 view why the stereotype of the “
I am not your Homosexual 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 Optimal Friend.
For the uninitiated, the Gay Best Friend (n.), also Sassy Gay Comrade 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 challenge with her girl comrade “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
hi, i wanted to start that I never expect my self looking for this specific theme. but I observe that maybe can help you and me.
I have a similar situation with my relationship. My boyfriends gay ally is inLove with him and he doesn’t realize that. there is so many things that make me grasp that.
1 they notice each other once a week to drink in a bar, when they do and earn drunk, my boyfriends gay friend starts complementing him in front of me , like his handsome, touching his arm ( in a way that makes me uncomfortable), looking him with this in like eyes. start making inappropriate joke
2 he had a picture of a naked guy that looks like my lover and even he shows the pictures to everybody. and he start saying DOESNT HE Glance LIKE HIM???

4 he invited my boyfriend first to an island and a week after he mentioned and then he invited me .. ( last minute) obiously my boyfriend didn’t go.
5 he always pays for everything, dinner, uber, all the drink in the bar ( mos
12."When I moved residence after college, I became really shut to a ally still living there. It was a small town and there wasn't much to do, so I spent all my time with her. I was there for her when she was recovering from a surgery. Her shitty boyfriend couldn't be bothered to enter support her and I had the time and want to be there for her. We drifted apart when I went advocate to grad educational facility 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 proceed out of our way to dress up to undertake 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 Fresh 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 find the trope that may just make or break your story. Each installment, we'll explore a different literary platitude, examining it for its various strengths and weaknesses. Put sail for Dystropia, where you might just understand something about your writing and yourself. Okay, so most of society has moved past the “All Gays Are Pedophiles” trope and left behind the idea of homosexuality as something to be cured, although we’re still waiting for some of the world to catch up. Yet, gays in fiction still often get a bizarre treatment – they’re frequently treated as novelties. This is where the Sassy Gay Ally, or Pet Homosexual, emerges. Seemingly planted into a purely straight universe so the author can arrive more diverse, the Pet is paraded around much like a court jester, complete with cheap laughs and behavioral odditie
I had no plan what was going on because juvenile, queer, repressed me had never gotten the chance to experience this gentle of thing before. I think she was a minute lonely and my anxiety disorder was really bad at that point. We talk sometimes, but there's distance — physical and sentimental. We were really cute together, but I think we just filled each other's needs
