To be clear, im queer and im in a relationship with a gay cis man.

Some days ago we were watching a sketch on YouTube about the gay best friend stereotype, where the joke was basically "I can be misogynistic and can walk into female dressing rooms because im gay". I was trying to gather my thoughts to write a piece about it, personally I have no problem being the "gay friend" to my female friends, but there are a lot of stupid and harmful misconceptions about it. I would like to hear some of your opinions about it.

If it's OK for the gay best friend to be misogynistic, it's OK for the woman to be homophobic. Makes just as much sense.

    SOILER: the spoilers are for readibility

    In the german political party AFD >!(officially right extreme i think)!< one of the people put into the Bundestag >!(main politician meeting room)!<, Alice Weidel* is homophobic and gay
    What i think is pretty funny that a gay is one of the leaders of an right homophobic party
    *i hope i got the name right
