LGBTQ+ people have fought for decades for positive representation in movies and tv shows. And we started winning! A slew of very friendly gay characters started to emerge, but so did a suspicious trend. In today's episodes, your hosts tackle the Gay Best Friend trope.
GBF's are often walking stereotypes - but are stereotypes really a bad thing? And when the price of representation is a character only there to support the main character without any real depth themselves, is it worth it?
