Fag Stag

Fag stag and fruit fly are slang terms for a heterosexual man who either enjoys the company of, or simply has numerous friends who are, gay or bisexual men. The latter term comes from the derogatory term from homosexuals (fruit). The term, which originated in the United States in the 1990s, is a male equivalent of the more common fag hag, a term which is part of hag-ism, the identification of a person with a group—usually united in terms of sexuality, gender identity, or shared sex—of which he or she is not officially a member. The term can be used as a pejorative or as a term of endearment within LGBT communities.
