Fag hag

Fag hag is a term, highly admiring, for a (usually straight) woman who likes to hang out with gay men. Gay men and fag hags often share a very close friendship, sometimes even closer than they might have with other women or men. Some would say that fag hags are pitied based on the assumption that their fascination with gay men lies in infatuation, which will most likely never be consummated.

Judy Garland has also been characterized as a fag hag.

Julia Roberts' character in The Mexican developed a fag hag-type relationship with a gay hit man, Winston Baldry, played by James Gandolfini. Other media examples include the show Will & Grace and the film The Object of My Affection.

Quotation

"I love the word 'faggot' because it describes my kind of guy! You see, I am a fag hag. Fag hags are the backbone of the gay community. Without us, you're nothing! We have been there all through history guiding your sorry ass down the underground railroad! ... We went to the prom with you!"
- Margaret Cho
