    🎥👀 HONEY, THE GAY BEST FRIEND MOVIE TROPE?! 😴 I mean, where do I even begin, sweetie? 🤣

    On one hand, I’m all about representation, darling! 🌈 We need more gays in media, period! 💁‍♂️ But on the other hand, CAN WE PLEASE MOVE PAST THE STEREOTYPES ALREADY?! 😩

    The gay best friend trope is just so… BASIC, don’t you think? 🙅‍♂️ I mean, we’re more than just wisecracking sidekicks or fashion advisors! 💃

    We’re multidimensional human beings with our own stories, struggles, and triumphs! 🌟 Can’t we get our own leading roles and romantic storylines for once?! 💘

    It’s time to shake things up and show the world what it means to be a complex, fascinating gay individual! 🔥

    So, until then, I’ll just be over here, serving face, fighting stereotypes, and demanding better representation for my fellow queers! 💁‍♂️🏽✨

    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 :/
