Since high school, I have always had several gay friends. Some have popped in and out of my life, but there are those chosen few who have managed to find a special place in my heart. I think the two lists below, which I borrowed from the show's website, absolutely sum up why I love my gay best friends.

Even during the darkest of times with my dating debacles and with tumultous friendships, my gay friends have always been there. They have fulfilled each and every one of the roles listed above (and then some), although sometimes I think I enjoyed the parades more than they did, especially since I was the co-chair for a pride festival for two years!!
My gay best friends are always there to make me feel better about the opposite sex whenever a mean guy breaks my heart. They make me smile and laugh. They are there to bitch to and always listen, and after I'm done pouring my heart out they always make me feel fabulous about myself in ways that I sometimes I don't feel after similar conversations with my girlfriends (not that I don't love them also). I love going shopping with them and "gossiping" about what's new, who's new, and how great our latest sexual exploits have been. On more than one occasion, they have stood in as the fake boyfriend or the date to a wedding, special function, and just a general "date night."
I LOVE MY GAY BEST FRIENDS! They are some very special people, and I would fight for them and their rights with my last breath (and I have been for years). Once you have found your gay best friend, don't let him go! They are fiercely loyal, great listeners, know how to treat a woman (because they all really do love their mothers), make great confidants and partners, and will bring something special to your life that you didn't know you were missing until you met them. I highly recommend that every straight girl find herself a gay best friend. You're life is so incomplete without one, I promise! I am very blessed because I have so many, including a couple new, younger ones that I absolutely adore!
