“He’s my best straight boy-friend,” text in the video reads. The video shows pictures and small clips of the two hugging, wearing wigs, and being happy together.
“I want to show how much I appreciate him for his fluid boldness to not giving a F*CK. He wasn’t scared to show that str8 guys can be as if not even more fem than gays.”
“He broke every straight stereotype.”
It hasn’t been easy for Hector, who has missed out on dating women who assume that he’s gay because he’s so supportive and faced anti-gay harassment.
“Hector u mean so much to me. I love you bro.”

If straight girls can do stuff like this and not be considered dating, why can’t guys tbh. Love to see it.

This is the best definition of "being comfortable in your own skin". And I wish every human being can reach this stage of his/her/their life.

This really got me. I only had one best friend who is straight. We were inseparable until the rumors of me being gay started. He even changed classes cause people thought he was gay for hanging out with me. We still talk today but I mentally dedicated him Ignorance by Paramore.
