A word for women who spends time with gay or bisexual men, on platonic terms. Its meaning depends on whether the context it is used in is positive or negative, as it can refer to either of two things:
1. Women who are friends with, or prefer to be friends with gay or bisexual men.
2. Women who want a gay friend but only as an accessory; women who go to gay bars only to gawk at drag queens and gay men; women who idolise gay men to the point of fetishisation.

She happily calls herself a fag hag because she's best friends with Tony, who's gay.
"OMG, I want a gay best friend so much! We could go shopping together and gossip and go to gay bars, I want one so much!"
"But I'm gay?"
"That's different, you're a girl. I want a guy gay best friend!"
"You're such a fag hag."

Proper Noun: Typically, this title is bestowed to an ugly and/or fat girl who has been systematically rejected by nearly all non-gay males for a significant portion of her life.
To those who do not fit the aforementioned demographic, some other psychological or emotional problem has likely manifested itself, causing normal romantic developments with non gay males to become problematic at best.
To counteract this state of affairs, the fag hag attaches herself to homosexual males (normally of the extreme flamer variety). Psychosocial data suggests that this is a passive relationship that begins out of fear of rejection, but can often progress to full blown dementia, dullusional or irrational behavior patterns, or obsessive compulsion.
Though not an officially recognized neurological or psychological disorder by the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), hundreds of case studies documenting the behavior have been submitted to the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association for further review.
As of this writing (NOV 2010), no official response has been issued by these governing bodies, but many speculate that fear of social stigma or notions of political correctness have acted as a significant barrier to further study.

Psychiatrist: "So how long have you been acting as a fag hag"?
Patient: "I am not a fag hag, and that term offends me. I just choose to surround myself with only gay men. Your obviously nothing but a homophobe. It is you who have the problem......"

a heterosexual female who wastes way too much time time, energy, and empathy on gay men. she'll typically fall in love with him only to eventual be disappointed, she's usually self-righteous in regards to assuming that because her twink thinks like her, then that would mean he's superior to a sraight man.....Fucking confused!!!
Helen wishes all men would be more like Bruce... because then it would make having sexual relationships with men much easier... but since she's not having sex with Bruce because he's too cock-crazed, perhaps she's yet another emotionally confused girl who wants to change the world before she understands it...throw a stone in any direction and you'll hit one...

A fat, heterosexual woman who constantly hangs out, sometimes sleeps with her gay male friends.
Often the fat female was an outsider anyway to her own straight culture because of her fatness. Unable to get many men in the straight world she befriends the ultimate cute boy. He is stylish, funny, fun and sometimes clever and a hell of a partier. They spend all their time together going to bars and late at night when neither has been chosen by others they go home together after the bar closes and have sex. Some faghags have died from AIDS because of this. While "faghag" ryhmes we should not forget the word hag means ugly. Originally the faghag was not so attractive. Maybe now in 2008 the meaning of faghag may include an stunningly, attractive woman hanging out with a gay man but back in the 1980's it was not so.

The fag hag had so much fun with her friend Derek that she sometimes forgot she was unpopular in the regular, straight world.
