Badass Gay: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

'''Gay Perry:''' I shot him with a small revolver I keep near my balls. |''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]''}}

 

* Wallace Wells from ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]''. Bacon, anyone?

* [[The Authority]] has Midnighter. Who is gay. And quite quite badass:

** His husband/love interest Apollo is quite badass as well.

* Rictor and Shatterstar from [[X-Men|X-Factor]], both of whom can kick plenty of ass with or without powers. While Shatterstar doesn't seem to think of love in terms of gender, Rictor recently came out as gay and not bi, as previously assumed (he had been in on-panel relationships with women, but apparently never found them fulfilling).

== Live Action TV ==

* Sam Adama from ''[[Caprica]]''. He is a tall, muscular mob enforcer/hitman. At one point he infiltrates a government minister's mansion, while shirtless, poses dramatically showing off his muscled, tattooed torso and then proceeds to slash the guy's throat. Also fond of beating people up, inflicting property damage and anything involving firearms. His long-suffering husband is mostly okay with all of this, but still has limits...

* In season five of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Willow has arguably grown past the slayer herself in badassery, powered by her relationship with Tara. (The sixth season is a completely different story, which is one of the main reasons why so many hate the sixth season.)

* [[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]] has this in spades. The first season has Barca and Gnaeus, the prequel season has Barca and Auctus, and the third season has Agron. Aversions are Pietros and (arguably) Nazir.

** Bonus points that neither the lovers themselves, their friends nor even their enemies even notice that Jadzia and Lenara are of the same gender, in spite of both of them being very feminine. They are, instead, persecuted because the symbiants whose memories they each carry were already married in previous hosts. "Reassociation", as it is known, with a past host's spouse is strictly forbidden and highly taboo in their culture. As a result the episode is full of [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] conversations as the two first try to deny their feelings for each other (until Jadzia saves the day and wins the girl) then try to hide it from Lenara's well-meaning but judgmental brother in order to avoid persecution and exile (which would be an eventual death sentence for their symbiants).

* Oka from ''[[Deep Love]]'' and nobody expected it because he also doubles as [[Camp Gay]], but when he rescues somebody from three tough men, wow.

* ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': Wade, specifically after {{spoiler|Noah is gay bashed. Wade goes out and gets revenge}}.

* Richard Hatch, [[Ur Example|the very first]] winner of ''[[Survivor (TV series)|Survivor]]''. He did so by being a [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] [[Magnificent Bastard]].

* Kanaya Maryam of ''[[Homestuck]]'', by way of [[Word of Gay]]. She wields a [[Lipstick Lesbian|lipstick]] [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]] and was able to decimate two enemies who had killed two people each (including [[Lesbian Vampire|herself]]) - one by [[Groin Attack|kicking him in the bone bulge]], and the other by [[Half the Man He Used To Be|sawing him in half.]]

** There's also Dirk, aka the Alpha counterpart of {{spoiler|Bro Strider}}. Both sides of this trope are probably best encapsulated in the autoresponder's description of how he would confess to Jake:

'''TT:''' There will be no rocking back and forth on pigeon-toed feet, while my face [[Luminescent Blush|flushes]] with the blood of a thousand timid [[Bishounen|bishies]]. <br />

'''TT:''' I will not hold one tentative hand behind my head like a flustered asshole from an Asian cartoon, nor will [[Sweat Drop|an oversized bead of sweat]] overlap ludicrously with my visage.<br />
