Ladies, I'm Not Your Gay Boyfriend
(I looked to see if the LoT has talked about this and couldn't find it. If I'm just repeating, please forgive.)

So here's the Salon.com article. Maybe you also heard Thomas Rogers about this on NPR.

Two main ideas in the article: 1) fag hags of yore were a completely different type than the young fag hags of today who are looking not for a friend but for elbow candy and 2) it's time for the gay-man-as accessory to go the way of the sassy-black-friend-as-accessory.

I am much more the Bette Midler generation and type than the young women Rogers is describing, so I have no idea if he's accurate. What do you think?
