I know of a story where a straight best friend was the first person his gay friend told about his crush on a guy at school.

Sure. One of my straight friends once told me about how he accidentally went on a date with a girl who was only interested in his best friend.

There was a time when a gay teen and his straight friend decided to join a school club for the first time. The straight friend didn't know much about the gay teen's community but was eager to learn.

This led to a deeper understanding between them and a stronger bond formed from that first - time experience.
One memorable story is when my gay friend and straight friend went on a road trip together. They had planned the whole thing, and along the way, they shared stories about their past relationships.

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.
