Is anyone else annoyed by the whole gay best friend thing by straight women. It feels very paternalistic and some of the women themselves are homophobic. Most of my friends are straight men. With them you know they are not homophobic.

There is another interesting layer on this where they will be obsessed with gay men but will view every lesbian as a predator (some of them will include bi women but from my personal experience the straight women are okay with bi women but not lesbians)

I’ve been called a gay best friend a few times and every time I am just like sweetie and the only gay person you know in your life. I’m your gay best friend I’m your gay worst friend. I’m the gay that keeps you awake at night. And I’m about to be the gay that loses your number.

It’s even worse when you’re a trans guy

You aren’t treated like a normal friend, but instead the relationship is a weird caricature of a feminine friendship. They talk to you in an affected way and want to establish you as “one of the girls.” I am a man and want to be treated like one even if I sometimes do makeup and have relationships with other men
