can't we all just be friends?

Shilpa has, repeatedly, rebuked the term "fag hag." We are past that. She says, "I don't have 'gay friends,' I just have friends. Some of whom are gay. And gay guys can have friends who are women without them being 'fag hags.'"

Although we still prefer the terms "fruit fly" or "mo ho."

Scientific American is reporting on a study testing "the common assumption that women befriend gay men because they have poor body esteem and feel unattractive to straight men. If this were true, the authors reason, then there should be a meaningful statistical association between a woman’s number of gay male friends and her body esteem and relationship success."

The study found no such correlation, rather that women with higher self esteem have more gay friends. The question remains if it is more that the better self image leads to more gay friends, or is it that gay friends boost a woman's self esteem?

Queerty answers it best: "Either way, our work is done. We made you feel better about yourself, and now we're going to leave you sitting in the corner with your iPhone while we cruise the bar."

Shilpa and Coco call that 1:00 AM pre-last call but better get working on someone fast time "Dick O'Clock." And they are okay with that. It turns out that Yes, Rodney, we all can get along.
