== Advertising ==

* Budweiser: Ran one of their happy, feel-good ads where the first person that a male soldier calls to tell he's coming home is another guy who he also embraces first at his coming home party, even before his own parents.

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* Kazuki from ''[[GetBackers]]''. He was raised to be like a woman, he looks like a woman, he has long flowing hair, he is always surrounded by men, and Ban jokes about him and Juubei being like a married couple. He did show interest in one girl, but she looks like a boy and is actually a computerized being. He has never said a word about marrying and having children, even though he's the heir to the Fuuchouin clan and all its associated combat arts.

* Everyone in ''[[Gankutsuou]]''. ''Everyone''.

** Bugsy in ''[[Pokémon Golden Boys]]''. He's a young pseudo-[[Bishonen]], even more so than in the [[Video Game|games]]. He's constantly blushing and acting sweet around Gold. You may think this is just his personality, but he acts differently around other people.

** Erika comes off as a [[Lipstick Lesbian]] to people. Her gym is all-female, and she doesn't seem to like having men in it - but makes an "exception" for the Red for the games, [[Pokémon Special|a few boys in Pokespe]], [[Pokémon Zensho|Satoshi]] plus [[Pokémon (anime)|Ash and Brock]]. Her gym badge just happens to be rainbow themed too, and she's a bit touchy feely around Misty in ''[[Pokémon Special]]''.

** [[Villain Protagonist|Light]] makes it very clear that he is not attracted to women, as well as [[Effeminate Misogynistic Guy|thinking them useless and annoying.]] A very blatant example of this is ignoring the sexy girl in lingerie to use the computer behind her. He has massive amounts of [[Foe Yay]] with L, such as being chained to him for 50 days and the infamous foot massage scene.

** L

** Near takes all the [[Foe Yay]] Light had with L to [[Stalker with a Crush|a creepy, rape-y, one sided extreme.]] He calls Light a lot and then hangs up without talking, pulls... odd faces when thinking of Light and in the manga its revealed that Near {{spoiler|didn't entirely want to kill Light,}} he wanted to [[Squick|keep]] him.

** Mello

** In the original ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'', Daley is openly gay, and would occasionally hit on his partner Leon McNichol in order to tease him.

{{quote|'''Daley:''' You're too tense, Leon. We could get a hotel room together.

** Also, Italy could possibly fit the [[Trope]] as well. He has a high, girly voice (said voice being by the same seiyuu as the below-mentioned Fai and sounding quite similar) and a tendency to sleep naked with his male "friend" Germany. Not to mention he wore a dress growing up and was often mistaken for a girl. Granted, he does like pretty women.

*** Then there's the fact that when Italy was younger (Chibitalia) he had a romance going on with the Holy Roman Empire another male.

** England has had a lot of [[Ho Yay]] with America, and he has never shown interest in women.

* Creed from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' is never explicitly stated outright to be gay. However, pretty much every single character in the series notices his [[Stalker with a Crush|romantic obsession]] with Train (other than [[Oblivious to Love|Train himself]]). He dresses in very flamboyant, feathery clothing, and is [[Suck My Rose|constantly seen with roses]] (he has a freakin' bath filled with them!). He also seems rather resentful and angry at most of the females in the series.

* In ''[[Air Gear]]'' guys who ride on the flame road have a tendency for this. Kazu and Spit Fire are ambigous,[[Invisible to Gaydar|Aeon]] however is not.

* Even when CLAMP's [[Everyone Is Bi]] policy is taken into account, Fai from ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' still deserves an honorable mention.

** Not to mention that he [[All in The Manual|supposedly]] has a thing for [[Brother-Sister Incest|his own sister]]...

** Then, [[Yuri Fan|some argue]] that there's nothing ambiguous about Touko wanting to get in Shiki's yukata...

** It's pretty clear by episode 55 that he's in love with Dedede. He even uses "aishiteru" in his song at the beginning of the episode, and it's known that "aishiteru" is a stronger way of telling someone you love them. He even gets all flustered when he finds out Dedede heard the entire song.

* Yuda/Juda from ''[[Hokuto no Ken]]'', who wears makeup and frequently parades around in his underpants and talks about how beautiful he is. He's straight, though, and has a harem full of women, even if he does make some questionable comments about how beautiful Rei is.

* Major Alex Louis Armstrong from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. He's never seen with any women, but this isn't a romance-heavy series, so that's not a strong indication. That said, a lot of his character traits—strong emotions and a preoccupation with bodybuilding and male beauty—fit a lot of Japanese stereotypes about gay men.

** Sig Curtis might be bisexual. He loves his wife, no question about it, but his "flex-off" with Major Armstrong which ends with the two of them holding hands and sparkling makes ya wonder.

* ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' has Kanda, who has an [[Tsundere|easy-to-provoke personality]], a [[Bishonen]] design, takes a lot of care of his long hair, and has an apparent lack of interest in any romance. Ironically, in recent chapters {{spoiler|it seems almost certain that he isn't gay after all.}}

** In a [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] interview, Allen speculates that Kanda has no romantic interest in anything except Mugen, [[Cargo Ship|his sword]].

* Nanase from ''[[Honey Hunt]]'' is more than a little of this with his [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|feminine looks]], long hair always in a ponytail, skill at housekeeping and cooking meals, and pretty much acting like a nagging wife to his friend Mizorogi. At the same time he is also studying to be a make-up artist and hair stylist at a technical school. This is confirmed to be true in {{spoiler|Chapter 21 where he outright admits to Yura that he's gay and in love with Mizorogi.}}

* Father Jelice Bryah of ''[[Hatenkou Yuugi]]''. [[Lampshaded]] by '''Rahzel''' "I don't recall coming out of some queer's stomach." (She said that because he was trying to be her father, but given the [[Baka]] of a dad she has, he is definitely a huge improvement.)

* Kurotobi of ''[[Amatsuki]]''. He constantly hits on Toki, calls him cute and touches him a lot.

* ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]'': Most of the characters are pretty strongly implied to be gay or bisexual. Heisuke makes more than a few references to men and boys he finds attractive or may or may not have slept with. Saitou, while he may or may not actually be interested in men (who knows with him?), is willing enough to pretend to be for information. And general dynamics of [[Ho Yay]] between various cast members aside, there are always Hijikata and [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Okita]], who always seem just one step shy of being an [[Official Couple]] (with Hijikata's voice actor going so far as to respond to a remark about his character having given up romantic pursuits for his mission with, essentially, "Uh...no"). And the shinobi Susumu often cross-dresses (quite convincingly) to gather information, blushes when Tetsunosuke mentions that he and Susumu are friends, and when Tetsunosuke offers him comfort by trying to touch his hand following his sisters death Susumu tightly grabs Tetsunosuke's hand in his. And [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] Suzu was this based on his fanboying of Yoshida's sex appeal and his relationship with Tetsu before becoming a [[Depraved Homosexual]] in the [[Sequel]].

* Desslok from ''[[Star Blazers]]'' (aka ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'') is ''supposed'' to be straight, and has slept with at least two women (Starsha and Mela). And yet he has male bath attendants who rub him down vigorously and then clothe him (no, really) and he hits on his generals. And he had an entire canon song written about how he and Wildstar are "bound together" and "unable to live with it anymore". And Zordar, who ignores his girlfriend who is ''right there and can see everything'' to hug Desslok. When she got revenge on Desslok and Zordar found out, he said he would have killed her if he wasn't so busy, and did kill her in the original as soon as he got an opportunity. Not to mention Talan, Desslok's ''faaavorite'' general, who begs to be sent to prison with Desslok and bursts into tears on the spot when he's told he can't. In ''Farewell'', Sergeant Knox shouts "I LOVE YOU!" to Wildstar (at least in Japanese). Wildstar and Venture do some bizarre wrestling when they're fighting over Nova. Wildstar and Ryusuke also have a fight while the narrator says how Ryusuke felt ''such'' new feelings within him. It's like the semi-canon Cast Full Of Gay.

* ''[[Vampire Doll]]'': Most of the main male cast.

** And Julio is ambiguously bi, because he's in love with Louise but also may have shown some interest in Louise's boyfriend Saito. Whether he was just playing mind games or not is debatable.

* Goten and Trunks in ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' have been very tight friends literally their entire lives and, as teenagers, quite often spill over into [[Ho Yay]]. Whether their being [[Fusion Dance]] partners makes this better or worse is debatable. In the second Dragonball GT ending, it begins with all the various couples being shown together: Goku and Chi-Chi, Gohan and Videl, Vegeta and Bulma, Krillin and Eighteen... and then cuts right to Trunks and Goten walking along, in the same style. Apparently the creators consider them "life partners" after one fashion or another.

* Griffith from ''[[Berserk]]''.

* Gilbert Nightray/Raven of ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' is sometimes suspected by fans as having feelings for Oz. He's also quite [[Bishonen|feminine]] in appearance, the manga artist likes to have him dress up in girls clothes, and he has shown absolutely no interest in females.

* ''[[Saiyuki]]'': Genjo Sanzo is hinted to be gay as it shown in the first season that he did he not get mad at all when a gay drunk came on to him in a bar:

{{quote|'''Guy:''' ''(Leers and holds Sanzo's face)'' You're so pretty that you look like a woman.

*** It should be noted that Genjo Sanzo is the grouchy antisocial type who is usually averse, rather violently so, to both physical contact and smalltalk even with his close friends, much less random strangers.

 

* ''[[Batman]]''

** [[The Joker]]: Since Harley's transition from the DCAU into [[Canon]] comics, the writers have been seemingly trying to tear them apart and made it into a one-sided relationship on her part. Harley & Ivy both think that [[The Joker]] [[Foe Yay|only has eyes for Batman]]. [[The Joker|Joker]] has often professed affection towards [[Batman]] (complete with moments of desperate attention-needing) and has made some awkward comments about [[Sidekick|Robin's]] shorts and shaving habits. He seems to have quite a flirtatious love/hate thing for [[Lex Luthor]] as well. [[The Joker]] is also very keen on his appearance and once said he didn't want to see [[Batman]] until his nails were finished drying. He also took off his pants in front of Onomatopoeia and told him that he "bottoms from the top." As counter-evidence, ''[[Batman]] [[The Killing Joke]]'' showed the not-yet [[The Joker|Joker's]] pregnant wife saying that he was "good in bed." Readers could dismiss this as part of his [[Multiple Choice Past]], or count the character as bisexual. In the macabre Arkham Asylum, which is a canon Batman comic, Joker slaps Batman on the butt and continually hits on him throughout the comic. The pages are lined with homoerotic content and an unnatural level of sexual tension. Point of order: Arkham is non-canon, though its status as one of the iconic Joker portrayals means it can't be discounted because of that.

** With DC Comics' original run, this was probably unintentional, but it's difficult to believe that it was. The titular character appears to be wearing nothing but boots, gloves, briefs, and a [[Camp Gay|feather boa]], reveals himself (briefly) to be a masochist, and likes to shock his enemies with his flamboyant mannerisms. Somewhat less stereotypically, [[The Creeper|the Creeper's]] civilian persona, Jack Ryder, has a dislike bordering on hatred of female affection and immediately takes his male coworker up on his offer to buy an apartment together.

* [[Deadpool]]:

* ''Gil Thorp'':

** Lini Verde, a flashy-dressing ''[[Glee]]'' fan who's also a clinch player for the basketball team. Despite the large number of signs, his sexual orientation hasn't been stated.

* ''[[Yoko Tsuno]]''

** The titular character never appears to have a boyfriend, but she eargerly bonds with cute young women throughout the series, which makes quite a few fans wonder about her sexual orientation. In later albums the author tries to couple her with her best friend Vic, even though they don't even have a fraction of the chemistry Yoko has with some of the other girls--[[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|especially Ingrid]].

 

== Film -- Animation ==

* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'':

** Jafar: in its first sequel.

** Le Fou: is a little too much into Gaston.

** Thistle: the neurotic court wizard; aside from his effeminate behaviour(he lisps, is very submissive and even wears a pink dress-like robe), he has a clear crush if not an outright relationship with Emperor Spine and, later in the film, Buddy the Bear.

*** Purple...I think his clothing is even mentioned in the original book to be purple. Although a lot of fans here might not know it, there's actually a second film where he falls in love with the Queen of the fairies.

* ''[[Frozen]]'': Elsa's powers can easily be seen has a metaphor for homosexuality.

* ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'': [[Big Bad|Ratigan]]: Not only does his body language and his poise seem to suggest some, um, [[Transparent Closet|implications]], but the sheer amounts of [[Foe Yay]] he has with Basil is so thick, you could cut through it with a knife, children's movie or not.

* ''[[The Lion King]]'':

** Zazu.

* Aro from ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'', a more subtle example, who is very cheerful and constantly talks in a feminine manner. He certainly seems to like both his 'dear friend' Carlisle and Carlisle's adoptive son Edward...

** Hell, Carlisle (''especially'' movie [[Continuity]] Carlisle) is more than a little of this. He's an extremely well-dressed (look at that coordinated shirt and tie in the hospital scene! That extremely sexy shade of blue!) has an immaculately clean and artistically decorated house, loves to cook (if only because, as a vampire, he doesn't get to very often) and has a lot of "foster kids" but none of his own. He's also a ridiculously pale, ridiculously blond [[Bishonen]]. [[The Beard|The wife proves nothing.]] He's also just a few years older than his "children" are supposed to be. You cannot tell me that if you saw him and Edward in a public place together your first thought would be that they were father and son. In fact, when Eddie's mom told him to save him, Carlisle changed Edward with the intentions of the two of them being ''companions''. The flashback in the movie where he turns Edward is ridiculously full of subtext. In the books Edward mentions Carlisle spent a lot of time in Italy a few centuries back, were he hung out with a load of male vampires who were models for works of art. He left after he got sick of them trying to "convert him to their lifestyle" it wasn't just blood Edward meant.

** There's also Kafrina and Senna of the Amazon coven, who are "like two limbs of one organism."

** The two Romanian vampires in the fourth book were obviously meant to be a couple. It was a legitimate surprise when they

"In with him, then, darling", said Spade. }}

** And yes, it does [[Double Entendre|mean what you think it means]]—see also Hammett's use of the word "gunsel" later in the book. Gutman, Wilmer and Cairo are all supposed to be varying shades of homosexual. It's more strongly alluded to in the first film version (before the [[Hays Code]] was fully enforced); as for Lorre's Cairo, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ipYw8dSI-M watch the cane].

** Also, Colin Creevey. A popular fan theory is that Colin had a crush on Harry, due to the frequent comparisons between him and Ginny in the second book. In fact there's a rich history of boy-on-boy crushes at British boarding schools in both literature and real life, and [http://www.amazon.com/Old-Lie-Great-Public-School-Ethos/dp/1847250440/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316542654&sr=8-3 this book] goes into great detail on the matter as pertains to the lead-up to the First World War. After reading it, this troper should have seen {{spoiler|Colin's death in battle}} coming a mile off.

* ''The California Diaries'' (a spinoff of ''[[Babysitters Club]]'') had Ducky, whose Major Source of Angst (or one of them, at least) was not fitting in with the other guys at school due to an interest in vintage clothes and musicals (and hanging out with girls in a completely platonic way) and a total lack of interest in sports and dating girls. The insults the other guys sling at him are just this side of homophobic ("prancing" is involved, if I recall correctly), though of course that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

* The Doctor in the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''The Blue Angel''. (From here on in, it may be important to note it's in an [[Alternate Universe]] where he's a [[Through the Eyes of Madness|slightly abnormal]] [[Humanity Ensues|human]].) He's something of a [[Supreme Chef]], and certainly a very dedicated cook (he panics about having overcooked the potatoes). He redecorates his house to relieve stress and listens to Bette Davis soundtracks. And [[All Psychology Is Freudian|Freud]] might find the fact that he's a [[Momma's Boy]] to be rather significant. His [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Heterosexual Life Partner]], finding him outside in the snow fussing over the garden, puts his arm around his waist to lead him inside. Most interestingly, in the [[Two Lines, No Waiting|parts taking place in the normal continuity]], he's referred to as a "fussy old confirmed bachelor", which is basically a euphemistic way of saying [[Camp Gay]]. [[The Other Wiki]] says this was a bit [[Internet Backdraft|controversial]].

** Paul Magrs, the openly gay author of this book and some of the more ''idiosyncratic'' Doctor Who novels, has stated that he writes the Doctor as a middle-aged celibate gay man.

* Aziraphale of ''[[Good Omens]]'', being an ''angel'', after all, is an exceptionally gentle soul who enjoys the arts, never curses, has soft, manicured hands, and calls his demonic counterpart "dear." It's stated that one of the three first impressions people typically get from him is that he is ''very'' gay. In reality, he's more [[Asexuality]].

** Although, even if he is asexual, he could also be homoromantic. So that doesn't really solve much.

* While there's a plethora of [[Bi the Way]] characters and a MASSIVE amount of [[Les Yay]], ''[[Wicked (novel)|Wicked]]'' has Tibbet and Crope. While neither of them are major characters, they are nigh-inseperable, very very VERY close and just sort of come off as...well gay. It doesn't help that Tibbet [[But You Screw One Goat!|had sex with a male Tiger]] in the Philosopher's Club (don't ask, you don't want to know) and Crope ended up in the theater establishment.

* In ''[[Bumped]]'', Harmony's husband from her failed [[Arranged Marriage]], Ram, is implied to be gay. They were placed with each other because they both had issues (she ran away from her first marriage).

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* Vince Noir from [[The Mighty Boosh]] was like this until he was revealed to be Bisexual in the third season

* Gilroy from ''[[Burn Notice]]''.

** This is actually lampshaded in the Season 6 episode "You are There", when a modern day reporter ([[Long Story]]) asks Xena and Gabrielle about the 'nature' of their 'relationship'. Just as the Warrior Princess and her long time side kick were about to answer, the reporters cameras cut out.

{{quote|'''Nigel:''' It's dead?! The battery?! This is the world's greatest story and you're telling me the battery is dead?! I don't believe this! Oh, man!}}

{{quote|'''Ares:''' [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|I would have paid to see that]].}}

* Andrew from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' is the king of this trope. It helps that [[Word of God]] confirms that he was at least bisexual, but never got around to acknowledging it to himself—thus why it was never acknowledged on the show.

'''Janitor:''' What are you?

'''The Todd:''' I'm The Todd. }}

* Brian Topp in ''[[Spaced]]'', who when questioned as to whether he's gay or not replies in the negative, but in a thoughtful tone of voice that suggests that if he's not gay, then he thinks he ''should'' be. Many episodes deal with his love-slash-lust for one of the female characters, but one episode also deals with the return of his platonic-love heterosexual ex-life partner.

** Played up in several episodes, such as the one in which he "comes out" as an artist to his mother, who had been under the impression he was a lawyer because he thought his parents would disapprove of art. Her cheerful response - "Don't be silly, your father and I don't mind ''what'' you do, as long as you're not gay!"

{{quote|Why'dja have to take a picture?

Why did you use tongue? }}

* David Duchovny appeared twice on ''[[The Larry Sanders Show]]'' [[Casting Gag|against type]] as a version of himself whose words and mannerisms constantly had Larry wondering if he was coming on to him.

* Sergeant James Hathaway of ''[[Lewis]]'' refuses to draw neat lines between sexualities or tell Lewis his own orientation. A [[Good Shepherd|former seminary student]] before joining the police, Hathaway seems conflicted about religion and sexuality.

** Ditto Olivia Benson, who looks like every lesbian stereotype, from [[Lipstick Lesbian|one end]] of the spectrum to [[Butch Lesbian|the other]] all rolled together and had the most incredible [[Les Yay]] with [[Hello, Attorney!|Assistant District Attorney Alex Cabot]] . [[Jossed]] in "PC". It probably doesn't help that their collected attractiveness, Alex and Olivia would make the most earth-shatteringly beautiful couple ever.

** That's not just an "impression". Of course, it fits with the period: to avoid censorship issues and pornography charges, magazines had to be marketed as "health" magazines (they have names like "Sunshine and Health"), which didn't really fool anyone but gave the publisher plausible deniability. Including some men in the pictures helped with this, as it allowed the publishers to demonstrate that clearly it was ''not'' simply a magazine filled with pictures of naked women.

* Tim Gutterson on ''[[Justified]]'' is a possible example. In "Veterans", he openly flirts with a (male) bouncer outside of a bar.

** Kelsey is debatable, as when Chad said [[Our Mermaids Are Different|Marina]] was "the one" for him, Kelsey is ''clearly'' upset. She could just be feeling sorry for her friend, or...

* Kalinda on ''[[The Good Wife]]''. The show likes to be ambiguous about it (or pretend that they are being so), but even though Kalinda has made out with guys while on cases, it seems strongly implied that she prefers ladies on her own time.

* Depending on what "mood" they were in, Servo and Crow from [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] can qualify, even attempting to get married at one point. However, considering they are robots, they often do not "understand love".

** "Brain Guy" Observer was a bigger example of this trope, going into the ladies' restroom with Pearl, dressing up in a stereotypical leather outfit for a "hot date", and refusing to seduce a woman:

* Michel on the ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' hit every [[Camp Gay]] stereotype (obsessed with his appearance, dotes on his mother, French!) but he did once mention a girlfriend (who went unseen).

* It was a running joke in ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]'' that Hyacinth and Richard's son Sheridan, who lives with a man named Tarquin (who makes his own curtains, wears silk pyjamas, and has won prizes for embroidery), is possibly gay. Hyacinth, however, seems blissfully oblivious to the fact.

 

== Pro Wrestling ==

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyCwJ10QrHA AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!AMERICAN MALES!]

* Billy & Chuck:

*** Since we're on Billy and Chuck territory, we would be remiss in not mentioning their manager Rico, who took their gimmick AND their theme song to whole new levels.

**** Not only that, but the ''You Look So Good To Me'' theme has been used time and again in the WWE to mark a character as non-heteronormative. See Marella, Santina.

* The Carecrow from ''[[Toonstruck]]'' behaves like a stereotypical gay man; he's very effeminate, he calls his crows his babies, and he's obsessed with fashion.

* Zhang He from the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' series is very flamboyant and focused on beauty, and these character traits only increase with each installment in the series. Compare: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pve9XEtQFQ DW3], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNVJfK-h_4o DW4], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM0ekCcDuqg DW5], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVtWqpxbF2g DW6]. Yes, that is makeup he's wearing in that last one.

** Interestingly enough, Liquid's English-language VA Cam Clarke is openly gay.

* Balthier from ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' is definitely a candidate. Despite being a sky pirate that seems to woo most of the women in the game, the writers make him more irresistibly charming to them than actively pursuing any of the gender. His brightly colored bracelets and rings, [[The Dandy|concern for his clothes and appearance]], and constant ambiguity in other such situations (such as his motives for helping the group) has made numerous fans suspect that something is up.

* In ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' there's Juri whose original profile's "Likes" folder had [[Buxom Is Better|"big breasts"]] included. This was later removed for unknown reasons, but if it still holds true...

** Ambiguity quickly lost when all of her winquotes [[Depraved Bisexual|involve raping and murdering her opponent]] [[Anything That Moves|regardless of sex, age or appearance.]]

** Jin is most likely bisexual. It's established in ''Continuum Shift'' that there is something between him and [[Lady of War|Tsubaki]] but that doesn't stop the [[Ho Yay]] moments with Ragna.

* In the third ''[[Rayman]]'' game, Globox was depicted very... strangely, to say the least. In one boss fight, he shouts "Hey! Get your hands off of '''MY''' Rayman!"; if he's [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|punched during gameplay]] one of the things he says is "I'm a lover, not a fighter!"; and near the beginning he hugs Rayman so closely and tightly that another character is compelled to ask "Hey, you got room for a third?". That's not even covering his dream about pregnancy and maternal attitude towards the main villain...

* Zelos from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''. He's vain, feminine, wears pink, has long hair, and has several [[Ho Yay]] moments with [[The Hero]] (especially if his [[Relationship Values]] are maxed). The fact that he's [[The Casanova]] would set things [[A Worldwide Punomenon|straight]], if not for the fact he's also very [[Obfuscating Stupidity|deceptive]], which basically means it's impossible to discern his true orientation or lack thereof, and this has lead some people to believe his womanizing behavior is just another part of his facade.

* Hugh Bliss from the Telltale ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' games. His voice sounds like that of a homosexual, he's obsessed with rainbows and "Prismatology", he looks like a homosexual, and according to Episode 205, one of the months on his Prismatology calender is called "'''Gay'''pril".

 

== Web Comics ==

* ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'':

** David: adores Abbey according to the chart. And [https://web.archive.org/web/20130604040236/http://topwebcomics.com/images/banners/471.png this] or [http://taeshilh.deviantart.com/art/Prismacoloured-Distraction-66277078?q=boost%3Apopular+by%3Ataeshilh+abbey+david&qo=4 this] makes it seem that David likes touching Abbey while having fun.

* ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'':

** Roba:

* ''[[The Proud Family]]'': Michael the "sissy" sole male cheerleader and son of the macho coach(who he can't call "Dad" in public).

* ''The Reluctant Dragon'': In the Disney animated short, the title character is rather effeminate and very campy, singing in a high voice, reciting poetry, dancing on his tiptoes, doing the stereotypical gay wave, etc.

*** although he didn't have any of the stereotypical traits he was seen wearing a female cheerleading outfit and a ballerina tutu on a couple of occasions and his father yelling at him for it.

* ''[[Scaredy Squirrel]]'': Dave the [[Fat Idiot]] skunk shows quite a few [[Camp Gay]] mannerisms like a lispy voice and crossdressing.

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'':

** Mr. Waylon Smithers ''used'' to be Ambiguously Gay but in later seasons the show just ran with the gay jokes. Originally he was strictly a [[Single-Target Sexuality|"Burnsosexual"]], which eventually devolved into Ambiguously Gay and then just plain gay. As a matter of fact, he'd previously mentioned having [[The Beard|a wife]]. Of course, in a flashback, their relationship was played out as a reference to ''[[Cat on a Hot Tin Roof]]'', so...

*** Stan also vomits any time things start to get even vaguely romantic with Wendy. In the episode "Follow That Egg" Stan and Kyle are the reason gay marriage gets legalized in Colorado. It's complete with lines like:

{{quote|'''Mrs. Garrison:''' How 'bout our gay couple: Stan and Kyle?}}

** Terrance & Phillip:

{{quote|'''Terrance:''' That Scott really hates us.

*** Plus he gets the most [[Ho Yay]]/[[Foe Yay]] with Omi and Chase.

** Still, he appears to have a crush on Kimiko.
