The Gay Best Friend exists mostly to add variety, funny mannerisms, and cheap laughs to an otherwise all-straight story and sometimes shows political correctness. The gay best friend is depicted as mostly interested in shopping, fashion, and makeovers. The GBF may talk about sex a lot but is seldom depicted as having any because too many viewers would find that disturbing. Either he has no love life to speak of (which never seems to bother him), or it's forever offscreen, only discussed with the heroine over brunch at some pretentious cafe.
