Gay is the new Black

I have to tell you, there are some pretty cool benefits to having gay male friends. Before you make a judgment call about me and assume I am one of those girls who seeks out gay men to befriend strictly because they are gay, I need to tell you that most of the gay men I am friends with I have known since long before they openly identified as gay. O.K. then.

The top 5 benefits

1. You can trash or crush on guys together. Gay guys understand why I watch Desperado for Antonio rather than the action or fantasize about Johnny Gage on Emergency! because of the uniform.

2. You can enjoy porn together without feeling awkward. There's a big difference to me in watching two guys on pretty level footing get it on and watching some coked up girl take cum shots in the face for 10 minutes while being called every low life name in the book. Yes, I know all porn isn't like that, but I also know that those "produced by women for women" porns aren't exactly big hits with the guys, and a little sexual debasement seems to steam up most average men. (I had to come back and make this one edit, because I'm honest and well, ok. I made a judgment call on men and it felt like a lie. When I watch straight porn, I download Rocco, and yeah, he's pretty much the king of dirty mean sex movies. But I watch it alone. So there.)

3. *I can ask them how I look in something, and not only will they tell me the truth, they actually know what I'm talking about and why I'm asking! (o.k. I threw this one in for other people. I don't usually care what I look like and when I do, I'm a pretty good judge of what I see in the mirror.) *way to promote stereotypes. Yeah but is it a stereotype if it's true?

4. Sex tips. Like asking a girlfriend only better, cause well, they're guys and they know firsthand!

5. If you are single, you can enjoy a night out on the town, with male companionship, without being hit on in the most absurd ways.

Straight men should be more open to their girlfriends having gay male friends. It takes a lot of burden off of you, meaning you can let another guy listen to her "girl type shit" without worrying that he wants to get all up in it.
