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 best friend’.

Despite the gay best friend (GBF) often being 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 leading 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 thought of being straight and denying who I was for far too long, I stopped pretending that my adj friend was a potential romance interest (thank you Alex) and told my family just before I left sixth form.

Although it felt like I'd just

I was sure I was gay &#; until I fell in love with my optimal female friend

This story starts on a rainy night in February, when my housemate Esther and I had been invited on an impromptu night out in east London. 

The two friends we went with indulged in a few too many pre-cab vodka squashes, and promptly got thrown out of a club by the bouncer. They stumbled off into the night together, leaving Esther and I alone and a little deflated at a night cut short. 

We headed noun, drank months-old boxed white wine, knocked most of the furniture over, ate kebabs and eventually crashed on the sofa to watch something dreadful on TV.

Before I knew it,we woke up the next morning in bed together having had sex. Now, bearing in mind that Esther is my best friend of three years and housemate of two, this was all attractive juicy. 

Then add in the reality that I identified as an openly loud and proud gay man, and it ramps things up a few notches. 

The morning after the night before could have been a mess of awkward hugs, confusion and acrid vodka breath, but it turned out to be blissfull

hi, i wanted to start that I never  expect my self  looking for this specific theme.  but I see that  maybe can help you and me.

I have a similar situation with my relationship. My boyfriends gay friend is inLove with him and he doesn&#;t realize that.  there is so many things that make me realize that.

2 he had a picture of a naked guy that looks like my boyfriend and even he shows the pictures to everybody. and he start saying  DOESNT HE LOOK LIKE HIM???

3  he told my boyfriend that he heard that i was dating one of his friends  a couple of times( guy that I don&#;t even know). obviously lies.. don&#;t know what was exactly his intention.

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

Such a caring friend.

"If you're looking for a friend, gay guys really are the best. Because, let's face it, women are kind of depressing."

The Gay Best Companion exists mostly to add variety, funny mannerisms, and cheap laughs to an otherwise all-straight story and sometimes shows political correctness. The gay best 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 life to say 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 gay people, fiction is slowly seeing more well-rounded gay supporting characters with onscreen love lives, whose sexuality is incidental to the character. Therefore, do not puzzle this for People Sit on Chairs; if a character is a typical Best Friend char
