[[Ho Yay]] is a same-gender relationship that seems to be more than 'just good friends'. [[Foe Yay]] is when two people seem to be more than just ''mortal enemies.''
One of the most common flavors is when two girls [[Les Yay|start kissing and acting a little too friendly]] just for the sake of [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|gratuitous titillation]], which in real life is known as "club lesbianism" due to party girls often doing this at the [[Coolest Club Ever]].
Line 55:
* The girls in ''[[Coyote Ugly]]'' play-act physical intimacy as a part of their bar-dancing. Partly as a result of this, when Violet thanks Cammi for a good bar-tending tip by half-jokingly professing "I think I just fell in love with you.", Cammi breezily replies, "Oh, Violet, I'm not a lesbian. I played in the Minors, but never went Pro."
* ''Boat Trip'' has this as its basic plot.
* ''Partner(s)'' features a heterosexual man who moves in with his gay friend and is mistaken for gay. He goes along with it for a chance at a a big name case with a man who claims gay discrimination. {{spoiler|it turns out to be a double
* In Billy Wilder's ''The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes'', Holmes pretends that he and Watson are a gay couple in order to fend off a Russian ballerina (and, apparently, believer in eugenics) who wanted him to father her child. Watson, meanwhile, tries to flirt with the ballet dancers, only to discover that [[Hilarity Ensues|word has spread]].
* In ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'', the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|actually gay]] "Gay" Perry [[Fake-Out Make-Out|pulls the straight Harry into a passionate kiss to prevent the nearby policemen from realizing that they're hiding a body in a car trunk]]. Harry is not amused.
Line 76:
* ''[[Friends]]'' toys with this trope on occasion. In season two, Joey and Chandler pretend to be a homosexual couple in order to retrieve Ross' baby from the transit authority. Later, Rachel and Monica "kiss for one minute" to win their apartment back from the boys.
* Dr. Cox and Ben play Gay Chicken in ''[[Scrubs]]''.
** Also from ''Scrubs'', The Todd walks the line between
{{quote|''If I'm gay, how come I work out so much?''}}
*** The Todd seems to actively pursue anything human and in the right age limit (and sometimes, not even that). In the same episode that he fakes being gay, he then goes walking down the hallway hitting on everyone, from the good looking girls to the good looking dudes to the uglies of both genders.
Line 132:
* [[Jimi Hendrix]], aware that many people [[Mondegreen|misheard]] the "Purple Haze" lyric "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" as "...kiss this guy," would playfully point at Experience bandmate Noel Redding when performing the song live. On at least two occasions he even mimed kissing him.
* Oshare band [[An Cafe]] are fond of Stage gay, especially the original members (Bou and Miku particularly).
* Being [[Fan Service]]: The Musical Genre, [[Visual Kei]] is practically joined to this trope at the hip. So when one of [[Visual Kei]]'s founding fathers ([[Buck Tick|Atsushi Sakurai]] decided to do a live cover of
* Kurt Cobain made out with the other members of [[Nirvana]]. He reportedly did so to piss off homophobic people, and to keep them from coming to Nirvana's shows. The band famously did this after performing on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. ''SNL'' censored the kissing for repeat broadcasts.
* Captain Ahab built a name on having this as their stage persona.
