{{examples|Examples: }}
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Kick -Ass]]'': in the original comic his would-be girlfriend is not pleased that he had been lying to her. In his defense, he didn't originate the lie; when he was found naked and beaten up it was rumored that he was prostituting himself for rough sex. He just rolled with it because it was a way to hang out with her.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* A girl who has been sent to "True Directions" camp in ''[[But I'm a Cheerleader|But I'm A Cheerleader]]'' "comes out" as straight after a while, complaining that her parents just assumed she was a lesbian because she's [[Tomboy|Tomboyish]].
* In ''[[Three To Tango]]'', Matthew Perry's character is initially [[Mistaken for Gay]], then keeps up the façade for a number of selfish reasons until the film's climax, where the trope comes into play.
* In the movie ''Where the Heart Is'' <ref>not [[Where the Heart Is|the natalie portman one]]</ref>, Crispin Glover's characters comes out as straight after pretending to be gay because he thought it would be the only way people would take him seriously as a fashion designer.
Line 36:
* ''[[Caroline in The City]]'': Richard is invited to have an art opening at a gallery that is exclusively for gay artists, so he has to pretend to be gay. He eventually comes clean to the gallery owner, who is sympathetic but makes him take his stuff down.
* ''[[The Nanny]]'' episode "A Fine Friendship" has Fran getting close to the male nanny of Gracie's friend. Throughout the episode, Fran is firmly convinced that he's gay, until they share a passionate kiss, making Fran say "You mean you're ''not'' gay?!".
* On ''[[Queer Asas Folk]]'', everyone assumes Hunter is gay because he used to be a prostitute and showed an interest in Brian when they first met, so when he asks Michael for extra money because he has a date, Michael and Ben are very excited that he finally has a boyfriend. Imagine their shock when he reluctantly points out that while he did say he had a friend, he never said anything about it being a boy.
* In an episode of ''Its All Relative'', the gay couple's very flamboyant event planner comes out as straight.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* In the [[Mockumentary]] ''[[Dorm Life]]'', a first-season episode centers on everyone discovering Andy is gay, and showering him with love and acceptance. In the second season, when they all view a screening of the first season, Andy is shocked to discover that's what they thought, and reveals that he really is straight. The rest of the characters revile him for it for the rest of the season.
* In [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]], Pegasus's entire character seems to revolve around his campness. Everyone is shocked to discover he's straight.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 49:
== [[Real Life]] ==
* [[Darren Criss]], the actor who played Harry in [[A Very Potter Musical]] and Blaine, Kurt's boyfriend from [[Glee]], had to come out as straight to his friends.
* Likewise, several of the cast of [[Queer Asas Folk]] came out as straight in real-life while doing the show. Same with the cast of [[The L Word]].
