fag hag
Devoted female friend
A fag hag is a woman who spends much of her social time with gay men.
The term emerged from gay slang and can be affectionate or dismissive depending on who's using it.
Some women embrace the label; others find it reductive: She's been a fag hag since her theater days in college.
