To Think Of In June
June 1st is tomorrow and so starts a whole slew of Pride events, parades, dances, blah, blah, blahs. This is the month when we celebrate our diversity (supposedly), but I think this year in June we should think of and celebrate that most cherised of items, as Brad from Southern Expressions calls them, our Homo Hunnies (formerly known as Fag Hags).
Why should we be thinking of them? Well who goes and gets us shit faced drunk after every break up? Who actually tells us when a pair of pants makes our asses look flat? Who is the first to tell us how hot we look or how horrible we look? Who is there as boyfriends, hairstyles, jean tightness, or bars come and go out of our lives?
Our Homo Hunnies!
So go out and give her a big hug (or better yet a designer purse, or maybe some Manolos) because behind every great Fag is his Homo Hunnie.
p.s.
Brad just informed me that it was Gumby who coined Homo Hunnies so stop by his blog too! Both his and Brad's blogs are well worth your time to read.

vinnie,
Why does there not seem to be a lesbian equivelant to the "Fag Fag"? I don't know, a "Dyke Mike" or something. Is it that lesbians just hate everybody?
There is a small group of men known as Dyke Dudes that hang out as a sort of fag hag for lesbians.
As a sidebar, some of the most fun I've had in queer bars have been with lesbians at lesbian bars.
I think Gumby came up with "Homo Honeys" although he did leave the term at my blog.
I suggested "'Mo Honeys".
Either way, they're a necessary part of the lifestyle.
Hee hee - raise your glass and toast us, the Homo Hunnies, Fag Hags, Fruit Flies, etc... etc... etc... And yes, Manolos would be an appropriate token of appreciation. You know what I like Vinnie G.
You forgot to mention that we also attend all those Pride events with you, all June long, with ne'er a complaint that we'll never get a date that way (not unless we take Jim's advice: "girl, sometimes you gots to lose your homo"). Plus, I love the Pride brunches all month - there's mimosas and bloody marys and melon and quiche! Quiche!
I've always liked Dyke Tyke
You forgot to mention the primary duty of any seasoned Fag Hag (call me old fashioned...can't get used to "Homo Hunny"): served up as a sacrifice on the altar of insecurity as the "girlfriend of the closeted gay man."
Multiple times.
Yeah, some of us caught on a little late in life...
Love,
Melissa "Old Fashioned Hag" Fairbanks
Yeah Melissa, but you found your Prince Charming after all. . .Don't you think we helped that along a bit?
Okay, maybe not. . .but a guy likes to feel needed once in awhile
