FAG HAG: WHY SHOULD GAY MEN HAVE A WOMAN BT FRIEND?

Not too long ago, the term “fag hag” was jt an nocuo part of our gay and gay-adjacent lexin. Megan Mullally’s Karen om Will & Grace – the were all famo, mpy, outspoken, brassy women who were surround nstantly by gay men. The term “fag hag”, by fn, scrib a straight woman who tends to gravate towards gay men.

It’s a batn of two words that (more so the past but still today) have been ed to sult gay men and women.

“Fag hag” isn’t the only term ed to scribe women who have a lot of gay iends.

F fly (gay men are sometim rogatorily lled “us”, hence the term). Fairy prcs (fairy is another term ed to sult gay men). For some gay men, the word “faggot” should never be spoken outsi of gay circl, and straight, cisgenr women shouldn’t be allowed to say – much the same way that a lot of women would fd misogynistic for a cisgenr man to ll women “hags”.

They’re ually seen turng to their gay bt iends for fort and validatn, pecially after beg rejected by men. One popular theory is that some women wh poor self-teem fd refuge their gay iends bee, unlike straight men, they don’t pass judgment on superficial thgs like looks. Gay men are not terted women sexually, th they supposedly n’t hurt or reject their female iends that way.

And while a study did fd posive associatns between women’s feelgs of sexual attractivens and their iendships wh gay men, ’s hard to say whether that’s the sole or biggt reason for the formatn of the iendships. This theory is que limg for both women and gay men. For one, perpetuat the ncept of the “gay bt iend” as a mere accsory to a woman’s qut for love, validatn, and succs.

For the longt time, gay men have been picted as eher sexually praved characters or nonsexual, non-threateng men who have no agency or liv outsi of the women they’re meant to please. Many gay men n attt to how this expectatn to fulfill the GBF role a woman’s life n be emotnally taxg. At s worse, turns to a one-sid iendship where gay men are pigeonholed to playg this one-note character.

Essentially, the term strips both gay men and women of their agency.

For some self-scribed fag hags, one huge thg that draws them to gay men (and vice versa) is this natural monaly of feelg like an outst a misogynistic heteropatriarchal system. And so, for women who are brash, who celebrate sexualy, who are reee, who are glamoro, there is fort fdg refuge gay men, who unrstand what feels like to be labeled as “different”.
