I absolutely HATE the gay best friend.
If you want to put it as lgtb representation, can’t he be another sexuality? Why not ace/aro/bi/omni/pan/anto/poly/etc?
And if you want to make him gay, then please for the love of god, DO NOT use him as a prop and just to dress the MC. DON’T. Make scenes where the MC is the gay friend’s wingman/wingwoman/wingperson and goes to see if X person is interested in their friend, not (or at least just) scenes where the gay friend knows about fashion.
