== Literature ==
* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: Achilles and Patroclus from ''[[The Iliad]]'' were more like [[Blood Knight|Blood Knight Gay]] and a [[Battle Couple]] to boot. The entire reason the two are made cousins in the 2003 movie ''[[Troy]]'' was because it was the only way the producers could think of [[Hide Your Gays| to avoid any LGBT connotations.]] Achilles's desire to enter battle with Hector is ignited when Hector accidentally kills Patroclus (thinking him to be Achilles). Note that the ancient Greek culture didn't divide people into heterosexual and homosexual but instead into active/dominant and receiving/submissive. One can assume that Achilles was the active/dominant in the relationship, although the general Trope still applies to Patroclus.
* In ''[[
* In ''[http://www.adlibris.com/se/product.aspx?isbn=9163330075 Prinsessan Kristalla]'', the titular Princess Crystallia and her girlfriend have several badass moments, like when they save the dragon from all the [[Knight Templar]] "[[Windmill Crusader|heroes]]".
* In the final novel of the ''[[Slave World]]'' series, two female protagonists have to go on a daring rescue mission behind enemy lines - infiltrating the timeline they once belonged to, {{spoiler|as England is on the edge of getting psychopaths as their new rulers and the cold war between the timelines threatens to erupt into a full scale war between the worlds.}} The queen trust these women with this mission not only because of their well known intelligence and skill, but also because of the one thing that make her certain that they will never betray England at this crucial point in history: Their [[Property of Love|undying devotion]] to Lady Isobel and Lady Abigail respectively.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Dragon Age]]''. In all games, the protagonist can be gay or bi (or for that matter, an [[Anything That Moves]] type) if the player wants him or her to be.
** In Origins, [[Bi the Way|Leliana]]. We really ought to invent a [[Badass French Person]] trope just for her. [[Tranquil Fury|For]] [[The Archer|many]] [[Game Breaker|reasons]]. [[Latin Lover|Zevran]], as well, though he is a bit [[Depraved Bisexual|depraved]], he's still pretty badass.
** In ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' there are five romance options among party members (Anders, Fenris, Isabela, Merrill, and Sebastian) and all except Sebastian are bi.
** In ''[[Dragon Age: The Last Court]]'' both the romance options - The Elegant Abbess and The Wayward Bard - are bi.
** ''[[Dragon Age: Inquisition]]'' takes this a step further, with two romance options - Dorian and Sera - who are openly gay, and only accept the advances of a protagonist of the same gender. Cullen, Josephine, and Iron Bull are bi, and the last one may well be the most badass of the whole crew.
* The ''[[Mass Effect]]'' series gives us the entire Asari race. All omnisexual, all biotics, all prepared to fling you across the room telekinetically if you piss them off.
** Worthy of mention: [[Adorkable|Liara]], [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|barely a hundred years old]] but already a more powerful biotic than most Matriarchs. If you [[Berserk Button|mess with Shepard]], [[Disproportionate Retribution|you will die. Your friends will die. Your allies will die. Everything you ever built will be torn down. And nobody will ever remember your name]]. Also, if you don't pay her back she will flay you alive. With her mind.
Line 133 ⟶ 134:
* Princess Bubblegum and her girlfriend Marceline from ''[[Adventure Time]]''; their feelings towards each other had been hinted for a long time before being confirmed in the episode "Come Along With Me".
* Luz and Amity in ''[[The Owl House]]'', both of them overlapping with [[Little Miss Badass]].
* Velma Dinkley of ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'' fame; this was rumored to be the case for a long time, eventually confirmed in ''[[Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo]]''.
* Variation, Quagmire's father Dan - later Ida - on ''[[Family Guy]]'' is a Badass ''Trans''. Unfortunately, that's pretty much the only facet of her personality, making her sort of one-dimensional as a character.
