A lot of gay men found their first true, unadulterated, non-judgmental friends in women. Perhaps that’s why the media loves to play on the trope of the "gay best friend," showing a (usually white, usually flamboyant) gay male next to a (usually white, usually straight, usually the more prominent character) female in everything from television series to romantic comedies.

In this episode, Bryan is going to discuss a both frustrating and funny list, crowdsourced via social media, of truths known by plenty of gay men. When these things are said to us, we know it’s usually not coming from a bad place. The intentions are good, so we smile politely and answer the best we can without losing our minds. But frankly, this is a helpful and handy conversation of things to avoid saying to the gay men (or queer individual) you encounter in your life.
