I am not your Gay Top Friend
I am privileged to dwell in an age where belief 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 Foremost Friend.
For the uninitiated, the Gay Best Friend (n.), also Sassy Gay Friend 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 competition with her girl friend “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
Please Don&#;t Call Me Your &#;Gay Best Friend&#;
Despite some friends and family describing him using the ‘gay best friend’ label, Daf hasn’t confronted them about it because he felt their intentions were coming from a place of love. With anything in life, he thinks it’s essential to think about the intention of what someone is trying to do, or say.
Ay, excuse me darling, I can announce myself!
“I’ve never really called them out on it… when people have said it to me, it’s often been us two chin-wagging, talking. They’re not going around the streets, ‘Oh my god, this is Dafydd, my gay best friend!’. I’d probably chime up… ‘Ay, excuse me darling, I can introduce myself!’”
Daf came out as gay when he was Reflecting on growing up in the Rhondda, he is touched by the progression he can see today, with its openness towards homosexuality compared to when he was young.

The Gay Best Buddy 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 locate that disturbing. Either he has no love life to verb of (which never seems to bother him), or it's forever offscreen, only discussed with the heroine over brunch at some pretentious cafe.
