Basic Trope: A large part of the villain's character is that he's gay.

• Straight: A gay villain with uncomfortable, one-sided Foe Yay with the hero.
• Exaggerated:
  • All and only evil characters are gay, and they all make unwelcome advances on every guy they see.
  • You can tell any person's Character Alignment from where they are on the Kinsey Scale.
• Justified:
  • The story is about Jeffrey Dahmer.
  • Alternately, the story takes place in a Crapsack World After the End where everyone has to be completely depraved just to survive.
  • Being gay doesn't make characters any less susceptible to The Dark Side.
• Inverted:
  • The Hero is gay, while the villain is a virulent homophobe.
  • Alternatively, the villain is a depraved heterosexual, and is defined by making the Action Girl really uncomfortable.
    • The villain will not stop hitting on the opposite-sex hero, despite knowing that said hero is gay.
  • Psycho Lesbian
• Subverted:
  • The Sissy Villain is introduced... as is his Dark Mistress.
  • The villain has two gay minions... both of whom switch sides.
  • A character is Camp Gay and so Good Is Not Nice he's assumed to be a villain. He turns out to be a valuable ally to the hero, apart from the unwanted flirting.
• Double Subverted:
  • ...Who is actually The Beard.
  • ...It turns out they're actually both Sixth Ranger Traitors.
  • ... Until the Camp Gay ally is revealed to be so Good Is Not Nice that he's actually Jumped Off the Slippery Slope and is now a villain, unwanted flirting still included.
• Parodied:
  • The gay villain relies on the support of psychotic Yaoi Fangirl mooks.
  • The gay villain has a phallic theme to all his phlebotinum.
• Deconstructed: Non-depraved gay characters are afraid to come out because it will make people associate them with the villain.
• Reconstructed:
  • The Depraved Homosexual drops the hostility and begins a happy and fulfilling relationship with Harry, which gives him a new outlook on life and leads him toward a Heel Face Turn.
  • Or instead, the villain, in love with the hero, ultimately decides not to use his Ultimate Doom Machine Of Doom to destroy humanity and dies to save our hero's life.
• Zig Zagged: The villain is a depraved heterosexual and probably a pervert. He makes the Action Girl really uncomfortable, so she bashes his face in every time he makes an advance. This turns him gay due to all the abuse. He then Squicks out the hero, who is all like Um... No, so the villain either becomes asexual or bisexual...or something.
• Averted: Gay characters who aren't villains, or no gay characters at all.
• Enforced: It's a Chick Tract.
• Lampshaded: "See, this is how I roll: I'm the "predatory gay" type and any guy whose backdoor remains unvisited is my prey. Any questions? "
• Invoked: The Fundamentalist tries to paint a gay character in the most depraved light possible.
• Defied: "Look, dude, just because I'm gay and working for the Evil Overlord doesn't mean I want to fuck you. Stop flattering yourself. I'm just a guy doing my job. Now, are we going to sit around talking all day or are we going to fight?"
• Discussed: "Fighting horny gays is like listening to your parents talking about their sex life: it's awkward for everyone involved."
• Conversed: A queer theory class is discussing the portrayal of gays in fiction.
