All the Good Men Are Gay: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

A woman looking for Mr. Right eventually finds a great guy with all the right things she's looking for - but it turns out he's homosexual, leading to the dismissive statement about straight men. This is loaded with the [[Unfortunate Implication]] that only (and all) gay men possess the qualities - tenderness, consideration, etc. - women want and heterosexual men are pretty much primitive cavemen or [[All Men Are Perverts|perverted]] [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]] who don't know how to act in public and treat other people.

* A riff in the ''Jack Frost'' episode of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'':

** Also used almost unchanged in ''[[Devil Fish]]''':

** And given a [[Call Back]] in the [[Riff Trax]] of ''[[Batman Forever]]''.

* ''[[Frasier]]'' episode "Out With Dad". [[Sorry, I'm Gay|Martin pretends to be gay, to fend off the advances of an older woman.]] When asked by her daughter, she sighs, "Opera queen" in a tone that clearly states they're quite common. Subverted when Martin's gay act makes him a perfect target for the daughter's uncle.

** It must be noted that Martin only goes along with her when she assumes he's gay when he stumbles over why he can't date her.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'', 'The Unicorn and the Wasp' gives us this exchange, after Donna notices some 1920s-style [[Ho Yay]].

'''The Tenth Doctor''': 'Or Time Lords.' (Make of ''that'' what you will.) }}

* In one episode of ''[[The War at Home]]'', Kenny complimented on Hillary, Larry's sister and eventually spent a lot of time with her. Hillary proposed Kenny to be her boyfriend by kissing him, but Kenny avoid himself from the kiss because he's got a crush on Larry (hence he's gay). But then he's [[Flying Under the Gaydar]], so he had to lie that he doesn't want to be her boyfriend because he wants to treat her [[Like Brother and Sister|like a sister]].

* In the one-act play ''This Phone Will Explode At The Tone'', the following exchange occurs:

'''Woman 1''': Becoming priests. }}

** Notable for her having just told her mother [[Accidental Truth|that Justin was gay so he could stay the night.]]

** Later, after Justin becomes popular around school for beating up a fire monster, it comes up again.

'''Girl 1:''' Of course I do. [[Right Behind Me|He's right here]].<br />

'''Boyfriend:''' I am less than happy right now. }}

** Another one had a waitress lament that "All the good men are either gay or have no face!" [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. (Granted, she was saying this about a paroled criminal and Sideshow Bob, so she's not exactly the best judge of character).

* Inverted in ''[[The Critic]]''. '''''Everyone''''' assumes Jay is gay, despite his insistence he's not. Love interest Alice tells her ex-husband (who is hitting on her) that Jay is not gay, then sings to Jay later:

'''Jay:''' Yay! }}
