The Gay Best Friend Theory
For the millionth hour, I detest writing about gay people. As Just Josh touches upon in this post, homosexuality should not be (and, it isnt) such a massive deal.
Yet, I adoration educating and enlightening people. The purpose of this send will be to clear up some of the misconceptions concerning what I like to ring, the Gay Leading Friend Theory. Clearly this theory doesnt apply to me, as Im lgbtq+, but I possess no friends, so

Anyway, Im sure youve heard someone on TV or someone in your school say something along the lines of Oh my gosh, I demand a gay leading friend or Ugh, girls are so stupid, I want I had a gay best friend. Theres an thought in pop identity and in contemporary society that unbent girls just necessitate a (stereotypically male) gay best companion. Heck, Teen Vogue told its readers that GBFs are the new hottest accessory.
I like to logically think about things before I tear them apart. I can
Gay Best Friend: A letter to straight people from the 'GBF'
Since before I can remember, I’ve hated hearing someone say the word, ‘gay.’ I came out when I was years-old. And to this day, it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. After I came out, I faced bullying, rejection, and depression. But, with the lows came the highs - one of which was when I finally became, the holy grail, ‘gay leading friend’.
Despite the gay leading friend (GBF) often organism thought of as ‘the hottest accessory’, it was, and still is, a label that weighs heavily on my mind. According to the movies, I should have loved my unpaid position as the straight girl’s best friend/agony aunt. Always listening to her boy problems and being her comedy side queen should have been an honour. But in reality, I realised it wasn’t a fun title at all.
Coming out
Having dabbled with the idea of being straight and denying who I was for far too extended, I stopped pretending that my best friend was a potential love interest (thank you Alex) and told my family just before I left sixth form.
Although it felt enjoy I'd just

4 he invited my boyfriend first to an island and a week after he mentioned and then he invited me .. ( last minute) obiously my partner didnt

The Gay Leading Friend exists mostly to add variety, funny mannerisms, and cheap laughs to an otherwise all-straight story and sometimes shows political correctness. The gay leading friend is depicted as mostly interested in shopping, fashion, and makeovers.
The GBF may talk about sex a lot but is seldom depicted as having any because too many viewers would discover that disturbing. Either he has no love being to speak of (which never seems to bother him), or it's forever offscreen, only discussed with the heroine over brunch at some pretentious cafe.
As modern society grows increasingly comfortable with homosexual people, fiction is leisurely seeing more well-rounded same-sex attracted supporting characters with onscreen love lives, whose sexuality is incidental to the character. Therefore, do not confuse this for People Sit on Chairs; if a character is a typical Best Friend char
