My Gay Best Friend

About the Author

I have been someone’s gay best friend for my whole life. I am bluntly honest, funny, but NEVER insulting to my best friend asking advice. I offer real, useful and honest advice. I’m the guy who will tell you you have food in your teeth, those shoes are ugly and the guy you are dating is PERFECT as he is (but if you really need to change him here’s how to do it).

I’ll give it to you straight, even if I’m not.

If you need a gay best friend send me an email and I’ll try to answer it!
