TruthInTelevision Unfortunately for him, ThisTroper knows two, and yes, they like ''that''. At one of them regularly admits to fantasizing pairing him and one of her friends.

...Eugh. The idea of a of a person who pretends to be a "friend" to gay men just so she can ogle them feels...insidious.

You can truly care about someone ''and'' find their attraction to their own sex hot.

And as for straight men who befriend lesbians for similar reasons...?

...are exactly the same. Someone pretending to be a friend to a girl just to drool over her lesbian-ness is horrible, but not every male friend to a lesbian or bi girl pretending, even if they do feel that GirlOnGirlIsHot.

With my group of friends the stereotype of the lesbians who like nerdy things is pretty much true and thus when going to a small school my friends where made up of male nerds and lesbians.

This LipstickLesbian is/is mistaken for one all the time because almost all of her close friends are gay men.(Changing to first person) I didn't plan it that way...I just met the most awesome gay guys in the world and we became Nakama. My grandmother (whom I am NEVER coming out of the closet to) thinks my best friend and I have a WillAndGrace relationship and I have no plans to inform that that, actually, we're BOTH gay. However, I'm always a little weary about the straight FagHags my friend hangs out with. I have nothing against straight people and some of my best friends are straight, but they are the kind of straights who just accept our sexuality and do not treat us any differently for it. One of my gay guy friends hangs out with several straight girls who are always as nice to me as they are to him until they find I out I'm a lesbian, then they immediately get awkward, standoffish, and even a little homophobic whenever I talk about my dating life (like they think I'm going to hit on them) which makes me wonder...

TroperTales: Maybe it's a result of hanging out with slash fangirls, but most of this (male) troper's female friends are lesbians.

This troper is an interesting kind of FagHag: she's been one since she was two years old and her father came out of the Closet.

This troper is one of two Fag Hags to a gay Love Triangle. Here's how it works: A, B and C are gay guys, while D and E (that's me) are straight girls. A dated and broke up with B, who later met and fell for C, who dated and broke up with A. D has been B's best friend for years, and recently developed a crush on him. He (obviously) doesn't feel the same way, so they've stayed JustFriends. E (ThisTroper) hit on A for about five minutes before noticing his rainbow bracelet. Isn't this a lovely pentagon?

This lesbian troper and her girlfriend share a Dyke Tyke. He is very tall, deaf, and more effeminate than both of us put together.

Hey, I'm not butch! But seriously, he always calls us his favorite lesbian friends. And then tries to get us to make out and stuff.

Aw, he's just teasing.

And now he's actually come out as gay, so that kind of makes us his fag hags at the same time...

This troper is one, but in her case, she and her GayBestFriend were friends long before he knew he was gay/came out of the closet. OK, so she ''is'' overweight and perpetually single, but he's the one who always gripes about men to ''her.''

Naturally. With This troper and his Hag, she bitches about how all the good men are either taken or gay, while he bitches about how they're all taken or ''straight''. And thus balance is maintained in the universe.

This troper has his hag whom he hasn't seen in over a year.

This straight male troper is the inverse. He is a member of a smallish co-ed fraternity which is well-known for its acceptance of GLBT members. He had two littles in his time in the fraternity - both were lesbians. Both went on to have lesbian littles of their own. His pledging tree went ten years between straight females.

This troper has been accused of being one since she is constantly surrounded by gay men, but mildly justified, as she is a lesbian.

This troper is surrounded by a coterie of LipstickLesbian fag hags, whom he reciprocally serves as les bro.

This Troper has a legion of hags. Note that i use the hag term in a positive way, and that means most of my straight girl friends. Both of his fag-hag-in-chiefs are straight and have their own active love life (one married, one not) and both their husbands are very thankful that I am arouund because they no longer need to do any "women" things with my hags (shopping, dining out, watching SexandtheCity ....)

Another inverse here. I'm a straight male and had several lesbian friends over the years, and even set two of them up.

This troper has several female friends who forget, while he likes men, he still likes women. This leads to all sorts of situations these girls set up, like changing in front of him. Now, he shields his eyes and reminds them of his sexuality, which causes awkwardness.

"Fag Hags are stereotypically portrayed as overweight... at worst, she's a neurotic drama queen who is either promiscuous or perpetually single." <--- Oh shit, that's me. Oh well, in this tropers case is also not about looking intentionally gay friends to hang out, but one day looking back and realizing 3/4 of her male friends are gay (at first not noticeable as many went out of the closet between the years) Strange enough she doesn't know any lesbian yet.

I'd never heard the term lez bro before, but recently I've become one. The girl I've become recently involved with is bisexual and most of her friends are lesbians and they've adopted me into they're group. I think they're so comfortable with me because I've always had better friendships with girls than guys. It's funny sitting at lunch and realizing I'm checking out girls, and the people agreeing on which ones are good looking are all women.

This troper's friend seems to be an example. She doesn't have anything against it, but the gay friends her friend has are all pretty bitchy to this troper.

This troper is an aversion. Yes, she has a couple of gay friends, and yes, she's a little bit HollywoodHomely. But she doesn't hang with these guys because they're gay, but because they're likeable people. And she doesn't expect them to dish on their bedroom goings-on, in fact, just like with her straight friends, she's likely to be a little bit flummoxed if they do anyway. And actually, she doesn't see them too often anymore since moving away to college.

All the gays in this troper's class have plenty of female friends (one of them is a living ChickMagnet, once with three simultaneous girls trying to get his attenttion!).

This troper is a stag. When I first went away to school I ended up forming somewhat of a nakama with my friends from marching band which happened to include a gay guy. Over time everyone started going off and doing different stuff and eventually it ended up just the two of us hanging out all the time. Since then I've pretty much gotten used to being dragged along to gay bars and drag shows.

and actually we'd both be considered Lez Bros to our one other friend

This troper's mom dubbed her this when she joined her college's LGBT/Straight alliance (probably trying to avoid the obvious).

''Very'' obvious with some girls this troper knows. A relatively unpopular but overall decent guy (and a former friend of mine) came out to me as gay (I didn't care about his orientation and neither did a mutual friend of ours), and then came out to other people. A couple of girls who had never noticed or cared about him much before suddenly started to fawn over him because they wanted a gay best friend. Fast forward to the present day. He's their best friend, has changed from a good person to a gossip and a drama queen and I barely speak to him (neither does the former mutual friend, although he and I are still friends).

Ugh. Some girls in my school ''tried'' that with me when I told them I was gay, despite the fact that I could care less about gossip and whatnot. Thankfully I already had a few friends who shared my interests (gaming, fantasy, tech stuff) and didn't care that I was gay, so I didn't have to become a totally different person for the sake of fitting in.

This (bisexual) troper has a group of about five friends that she regularly hangs out with. Three of them are lesbians, and the other two are a boy and a girl who are often subjected to being called our Lez Bros. We even set the male one up with our gay friend's hag.

This troper is a LezBro. Which is amusing because he called his lesbian friends lesbros or brosbians before seeing this trope page. This troper also has a handful of gay male friends, but nobody who quite fits the {{Nakama}} definition just yet. This troper chalks it up to being a natural outsider who has trouble making friends with so-called normal people. Most of his straight friends tend to be foreign or of a different ethnic group.

This troper. Her best friend (one of her only friends) is a gay guy that she's known her whole life. They both joke that he's her sassy gay friend. They pretty much do everything together.

This troper. She swears it wasn't on purpose. She has 3 Gay best friends, that even though it was quite obvious, took a while to come out of the closet. And even then, she's friends with them because of their personalities. Not because of their sexual orientation. All 3 of them still call her their bitch though. Hmmm.

Inverted with this gay troper, who has his own little collection of straight girls.

Theres a girl at my school who fits this tropes so well its not even funny. She has surrounded herself with so many gay guys, thats its gotton to the point that if your a guy, and your her friend, that alone will be speculation on weather your straight or not

I used to know a "Hag". She really wasn't that nice of a person though. The two guys she hung out with all the time, who were dating each other, she decided to nickname "Gay Bois". As in, "I'm hanging out with my Gay Bois today." It bugged me to no end because it seemed like she was only their Hag because of the novelty of it, instead of hanging out with them cuz she liked them for who they are. I was talking to one of the guys about it over lunch the other day and it turned out that it bugged him too.

Same troper's ex boyfriend is also kind-of one. Most of his friends are lesbian girls. One of them, hilariously, is always being told she looks like Justin Bieber. Her reaction is priceless.

This troper is beginning to be thought of as one. Technically she only hangs around ONE "gay" guy (who's actually bisexual, but most people assume he's gay because he's flamboyant and likes boys more). Unfortunately many people seem to forget that she herself is bisexual, which is why we connected in the first place.
