Ladies, I'm Not Your Gay Boyfriend

Of course I don't know any women such as are portrayed in the article. I'm of the wrong generation for that. But I don't doubt it's happening, and it's a good thing.

The need for "authentic" fag hags is coming to an end. That's the good thing I mean. The fact that some stupid girls want gay men as accessories and not friends is a bad part of the inevitable mainstreaming of faghagdom ... the same mainstreaming that will render the role pretty much extinct.

Oh gay guys will still have really close female friends. But the shared outsider status is something that thankfully is experienced by fewer and fewer young gay boys. Huzzah to that. Yes, the new term will be the more accurate "friend." Huzzah to that as well.
