As you all may have seen, I have a very diverse group of friends. Many of those friends are LGBTQ. For those of you who aren't sure what that stands for, it's Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transexual and Queer. Those are all different types of homosexuality, and they are all ok with me. Having "collected" gay friends for a while, (they flock to me like moths to a flame) I have come up with several guidelines in becoming a successful fag hag. This is all meant in fun, and is not intended in any mean spirit.
There are many ways to meet your new gay best friend.
1. Any bar with Rainbow or Man Hole in the title. Also giant roosters as images on the sign.
2. Males who work at a lingerie store. I don't know any boss who would hire a straight man to help women choose their underwear.
3. Concerts. Specifically Barbra, Cher, or GaGa. Also, Joan Crawford movies.
4. Video store. Renting Joan Crawford movies.
and finally,
5. The Grocery store. They are the ones comparing the size of the cucumbers and sniffing the melons for ripeness, not size.
Once you've met your gay, you now begin the process of becoming besties. My suggestions are late night brownie sundaes at Dairy Queen, followed by a morning working it off at the gym, or a Judy Garland and Bette Midler movie marathon.
If your gay is of the femme-ish variety, have a fashion show. You wouldn't believe how natural your new friend can be in your 4 inch heels. Go get Martinis and kvetch over the hotties on Survivor.
If your gay is of the masculine sort, take him to a football game and point out the butts on the players. Also, gymnastics and swimming are great to watch on TV.
So...now your gay is your bestie, and what do you do?
Introduce him to all of your friends! By this point he has given you a fashion makeover/under and it's time to release him to the rest of your buddies!
Remember, the best gay best friend is one you can share! Also, don't confuse best friend with boyfriend. That's a common mistake. Their may be a guest post in the future about how to tell if your boyfriend is gay...so keep your eyes open!

The random musings I manage to pull out of my slightly damaged mind. Also, humor may be involved.
