Oh my god! Will you be my new gay best friend? We can go shopping for clothes!

∞ 372 notes #sexuality#gay#bias#stereotypes#lgbt#gay best friend


A straight, female coworker to me upon learning that I, a male, had a
boyfriend.  I said, “No” and walked away, confused.  I don’t have any
interest in shopping or clothing, much less being a “gay best friend.”
It makes me angry that just by coming out, I can instantly be
transformed into a romantic comedy stock character even when someone
had seen me as a real person prior to knowing that I’m gay. (via microaggressions)

People can and should take two seconds to think about how words like that might affect others. Also:
