MLM/WLW Solidarity is a gen trope for M/F friendships, characterizing them as not interested in each other romantically but supportive of the other's queer romances. It may be in opposition to M/F ships about the relevant characters, providing an alternative interpretation of their dynamic.
This trope might be further specified as Gay/Lesbian Solidarity, depending on the fan's headcanons. If there's a tinge of rivalry, it might turn into MLM/WLW Hostility.
