    "HOW CAN I BE A BETTER FRIEND?"

    Preach~ I guess we assume we're 'good enough' as friends too often. I'm gonna say that to one of my gay friends right now.

    To be honest, I don't see how this can't apply to any person's friendship with anyone else as a general guideline. Maybe it was poised as targeted clickbait.

    I would gentle suggest that this is actually positive, targeted as it is. As minority people, we can always stand to be reminded of the need to have more solidarity with one another.

    Yeah, don't see why pretty much any of this should be advice exclusively for gay people

    As pointless as anything you might find on buzzfeed

    Oh, absolutely. I just thought it would've touched upon policing more explicitly, and so without it, the article seemed a bit lacking to me, personally. It's still nice to have messages reminding us that we should treat each other well when all too often many minority groups end up policing each other on appropriateness, or judging/excluding each other, and being represented in media as rivals/enemies.

    Good sentiments, but maybe not very English, you know. At least not for my generation.

    This was my clear favorite:

    7. CAN YOU GET OFF YOUR PHONE?!

    I am going to make a point of saying this several times a day.

    #2 and 5 I really liked. If you want the LGBT community to be a more inclusive place, #2 is THE way you make things more inclusive.
