Having grown up with only the gay best friend stereotype, it really fucked up my relationships, since i was always expected to be the sassy bitch, always there for a shoulder to cry on, but damned if i needed advice :/
π₯π HONEY, THE GAY BEST FRIEND MOVIE TROPE?! π΄ I mean, where do I even begin, sweetie? π€£
On one hand, Iβm all about representation, darling! π We need more gays in media, period! πββοΈ But on the other hand, CAN WE PLEASE MOVE PAST THE STEREOTYPES ALREADY?! π©
The gay best friend trope is just soβ¦ BASIC, donβt you think? π ββοΈ I mean, weβre more than just wisecracking sidekicks or fashion advisors! π
Weβre multidimensional human beings with our own stories, struggles, and triumphs! π Canβt we get our own leading roles and romantic storylines for once?! π
Itβs time to shake things up and show the world what it means to be a complex, fascinating gay individual! π₯
So, until then, Iβll just be over here, serving face, fighting stereotypes, and demanding better representation for my fellow queers! πββοΈπ½β¨
It reminds me of your mum
