"Fag Hag"? "Fruit Fly"? By Any Name, They're Bigger Than Ever

Point of views from women who: 1.) Are so phenomenally high maintenance and not fun to be around that no straight male would EVER want to talk to them without them putting out; and 2.) See gay men as nothing more than a stereotype custom-built to go shopping and gossip with them. (And no offense to Musto and the Village Voice, just some of the quote I read from the women interviewed made me wanna hurl)

Drag shows are the only thing I get out from under my rock for.

I'm a niche in a niche. Queer/Bi grrl engaged to the butch of my dreams but totally preferring hanging with the non bio grrls. I'll take Kylie and Britney over Ferron or Holly Near any day. Live for old school Paradise Garage and real non-disney non-ALW Broadway, and my butch and I love being the two woman among the 250 guys at Hedda's Chelsea Classics showing of "The Women" where we both can recite the lines!

Lusting for gay guys?  Doubt it.  Most of us can't even stand the sight of each other, opting to jerk off to pictures of 18-year-old straight jocks instead.  So who do gay men hang out with when they can't stand other gay men because of their piece-of-shit attitudes and rejection and 'I want to be the girl' personalities?  It'd be nice to find a female who can't stand gay men as much as me, even though I'm gay myself, but can't stand the stereotypical gay guys who are basically 7th grade girls in a gay body.  So I doubt very much that's anything that anyone, male or female is 'lusting' over.  I think that straight jocks still win that category and gay guys need to get over that delusion that our community is just overflowing with these kinds of guys - they ain't out there.  

There's another "sub-set" out there...the "wanna-be's" who use their gay friends to get into the hot clubs with their gay "ticket"...once in, they act like they are the be-all, loud and obnoxious and are going to "convert" or at least "prove" their va-jay-jays will rule the day...hence the "Ugh. A woman!" when one walks in."

But those are the "bad ones"...and that self-esteem thing...and you gays that bring her, don''t send her over to "interview" me either!  That girl "wingman" thingy seldom works.

I co-host the Fag & Hag Podcast with my BFF David. (Plug - fagandhagpodcast.com) We "dated" in high school (you can do the math on how that worked out), and have been best friends ever since. We are not friends because David is gay, we are friends because we enjoy each other's company and laugh at the same ridiculous things. Yes I am a fruit fly, but not because I pursued it.

These women have issues, I have to deal with fish all day at work, I don't want to socialize with them. 

Great coverage - of a subject that's familiar to a lot of people. If I may suggest a similar but far less discussed topic, how about the Guys (gay or straight) who like Women who like Women? One of my lesbian pals called me a Dutch boy - from enjoying the company of dykes - and I realized that there's a whole new world (and jargon) out there. What I also find strange is how lesbian couples immediately sense that I'm an ally (for want of a better word for now) and welcome me without hesitation. I just ascribe it to a sensitivity that women have in spades, more than men of any type. So - yes, lesbians and their male groupies, soon please!

Fag hags forever! This column was all so dead-on true.

I love the honest of these two women. I'm suddenly anxious to find my own personal GBB.
