When thinking about the requirements that come into a relationship, I tend to have very high standards. That person must be loyal, always honest, have a good personality, have good hygiene, always be down to have a fun time and must be someone who will never shy away from speaking their mind. Luckily for me, I can say that my best friend has all these qualities. Oh… Did I mention he’s gay? The stereotypes go on and on about how cliche it is for a girl to have a gay best friend, but in reality, everyone should have one!

My best friend is always brutally honest. We can go shopping and he will instantly tell me if I look fat in dress. Sure, that sounds harsh, but it’s better than buying the dress and having people talk about you behind your back afterward about how stupid you look. Not only is he honest about clothes and styles, but he is very straightforward when it comes to guys. Girls have always wanted to know how guys think and what they want in a relationship. Luckily, my gay BFF has me covered. From bar hopping to serious relationships, he gives me the run down on what to do to snag the right guy, and if he thinks the guys isn't good for me you can bet he will speak up and reassure me that I can do better. He will tell me if the text I’m about to send is psycho or if my ex’s new girl is pretty or not.

The sassiness and sarcasm are what instantly bonded my best friend and me together. We sometimes come across as cold hearted bitches, but we really do care. Being able to joke around and having no filter is the best feeling ever. Some of our constant remarks are, “Oh… You sure you want to have another slice?” or “Darling, don't be a raging bitch.” To most people, those comments are offensive or rude, but to us, it’s causal talk with no hard feelings attached.

Without my gay best friend, I would be so bored and, let's face it, always questioning if my outfits are the right choice. He brings light and amusement into life -- I guess that’s why their symbol is a rainbow. I would highly suggest everyone finding a gay BFF.
