Teen Vogue's Sound Off focuses on the hottest trends of the day, and this month the column is dedicated to "gay best friends."
The article starts out likening gay best friends to any other must-have accessory -- a shrunken military jacket, neon-bright chunky bracelets -- but circles around to insist that any gay man who will stand by you in good times and bad deserves to be treated as more than a trend.
"Gay guy-straight girl friendships may be trendy right now in pop culture (think Glee), but no one deserves to be treated like a passing fad or arm candy," editor in chief Amy Astley writes. "If you are lucky enough to have a GBF in your life, enjoy the lovefest but remember to fight for his rights to be treated equally in our society."
