​​​​​​Because humor is funnier when you know it's true.

The dating app I really need (cont'd)

And having a gay best pal means that you’ll always have somebody who is happy to go with you to the local community theatre’s production of “Company.” 

It makes perfect sense! I’ve always been a strong advocate for LGBTQ rights. I give money. I sign petitions. I show up. I speak out.  I belong to GLAD and subscribe to The Advocate. I marched on Washington for Gay Rights in 1993 -- and I’ve got the T Shirt to prove it.

I believe that I have a lot to offer the right gay man. Like my Aunt Meg, I’m loyal and upbeat and fun to be with. If you’re a cool gay guy, why wouldn’t you want to hang out with a smart, funny humor writer you can count on to always have your back and make you laugh? 

Not to mention somebody who’ll always be happy to go with you to the local community theatre’s production of “Company.” 

So where does a Grace like me find her Will? 

“Local politics!” says Amy. “When I worked for Hillary’s campaign, there were scads of progressive gay men working the phones with me. We all wept together when she lost.”

“Community theatre!” my pal Deb suggests.  “The Local Talent Players are putting on a production of Evita. Audition! So what if you can‘t act? You can always be in the chorus.”

But this is the 2lst century! Shouldn’t there be a Tinder-like app for straight women who desperately need a gay best friend?  

Can somebody please work on this? I’m guessing there are plenty of single woman my age who, when it comes to male companionship, are more than ready to “upgrade” from straight to gay.  Make it happen! 

By the time the first anniversary of my breakup with Mike rolls around, I’d love to have a gay pal to laugh about him with.
