I'll bite. Gay guys' options for friendship:
Other gay guys
- other gay guys where there's no mutual attraction
- friends with benefits
- former hookups, exes
They'll all have 'the gay experience' in common and this is the bulk of the friends that gay guys have.
Straight guys
- friends from work, school, family
- soy boys who want a gay friend for coolness factor
May be based on superficial stuff in common (work situation, for example). Gay guys are terrified of being judged and prefer to avoid situations where that can develop.
Straight women
Common interests/behaviors with gays:
- gossip, backstabbing
- drama
- navel gazing, attention whoring
- endless micro-analyzing of relationships (real or imagined)
- celebrities, pop music, fashion, etc.
- irresponsible behavior: sex, alcohol, money, etc.
- no judgment
Women friends are especially common among 'bottom' guys
Lesbians
No, unless political
