“This is me and hector,” Alvarez writes. “Alot of ppl including our closest friends thought we were dating. But he’s straight [and I’m] gay.”

“He’s my best straight boy-friend,” Alvarez continues. “I want to show how much I appreciate him for his fluid boldness to not giving a F*CK. He wasnt scared to show that [straight] guys can be as if not even more fem. than gays. He broke every straight stereotype.

“His dating life was not the best cuz every girl thought he was gay or dating me,” he writes. “He was harassed and questioned about his sexuality all the time. But he didnt care. [He was on] a quest to make sure that gays felt safe and [in comfort] with their own skin. Hector u mean so much to me. I love you bro.”

Alvarez identifies himself on Instagram as an “artist” and “Starbucks lover” based in New York.

I literally balled my eyes out just now over watching this, this is something I feel like every gay person needs, a friend that really doesn’t give a fuck about what others think and is always gonna be there for there friend regardless of there sexual preference and sexuality .
