What are the common themes in gay best friend stories?

One common theme could be the exploration of unspoken feelings. Gay friends might have a certain attraction that they are initially hesitant to express. Another theme could be the struggle between friendship and a deeper romantic or sexual attraction, as they don't want to risk ruining their friendship.

One common theme is the fear of ruining the friendship. Since they start as friends, the characters are often worried that confessing their love will make things awkward and destroy the bond they already have.

One common theme is the struggle for acceptance. Many of my married gay friends had to face family or society's initial lack of acceptance. Another is the journey of self - discovery. They often had to figure out their own identities before finding true love. And of course, the celebration of love in their marriages is also a big theme.

One common theme is acceptance. The straight friend often has to accept their gay friend's identity, which can be a journey in itself. For example, they might initially struggle with their own biases but then grow to fully embrace their friend. Another theme is support. Like when a gay friend is coming out, the straight friend provides emotional support. Also, learning about each other's worlds is a theme. The straight friend gets to learn about the gay culture and vice versa, like different types of gay clubs or straight - dominated social events.

A big challenge is when the best friend has different beliefs or values regarding homosexuality. For instance, if the straight best friend comes from a very conservative family, they might struggle with fully accepting their gay friend at first. There could be internal conflicts. And in some cases, the gay friend might feel that his best friend is not as supportive as he should be, leading to misunderstandings and potential rifts in their friendship.

Well, such stories are not as common as one might think. In society, straight and gay relationships are different in nature. While there may be some rare cases where unexpected attractions or situations occur between a straight person and their gay best friend, but it's not a typical occurrence. It often challenges the norms and boundaries of sexual orientation and friendship.

Jealousy can also be a theme. Sometimes the best friend who cuckolds is jealous of what the other has. Maybe they are jealous of the relationship, the lifestyle, or just the partner themselves. And this jealousy drives them to make the unethical move of getting involved with their friend's partner. Also, the theme of lost friendship is prominent. Once the cuckolding is discovered, the friendship between the two friends is usually over, and it's very hard to repair that bond.

Betrayal is a common theme. Like when a best friend shares your secrets with others or goes behind your back in some way. Another is separation, such as when one friend has to move away. Illness and death are also themes, as it's very sad to see a best friend suffer or be lost to a disease.

Betrayal is a common theme. When a best friend is involved in a cuckold - like situation, it feels like a double betrayal, both of friendship and relationship trust.

Selfishness. For example, a best friend might always choose their own interests over yours. They might take all the good opportunities and leave you with the scraps.
