Line 60:
* [[Lady Gaga]] concerts have a very strong theme of saying that you should feel free to be yourself. In addition to that a lot of her concert themes are about giving full rights and freedom for gay people.
* "Feed Jake" by [[Country Music]] band Pirates of the Mississippi has one. This is quite a surprise, considering it was released in ''1990'' in one of the most conservative musical genres:
{{quote| Now if you get an ear pierced, some will call you gay<br />
But if you drive a pickup, they'll say no, you must be straight<br />
What we are and what we ain't<br />
What we can and what we can't<br />
Does it really matter? }}
* Lightly and humorously distributed in [[Pink Martini]]'s "Bitty Boppy Betty," about a charismatic D.A. who dresses up as a woman on the weekends, and what's wrong with that?
Line 79:

* One episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' involved Homer unknowingly befriending a gay man, (wrongly) fearing that Bart was gay, and various other things along those lines. He ends up getting saved from a herd of angry reindeer by the gay guy.
{{quote| '''[[John Waters|John]]:''' Well, Homer, I won your respect, and all I had to do was save your life. Now, if every gay man could just do the same, you'd be set.}}
** A later episode involved Patty getting outed as a lesbian when she wants to marry her girlfriend. Marge had a hard time with this at first, but learned to accept it.
{{quote| '''Marge:''' Just because you're a lesbian, it doesn't make you any [[Incredibly Lame Pun|less of a bein']].}}
* On ''[[Family Guy]]'', there was an episode where Lois did not accept Brian's cousin Jasper's gay wedding, but turned around at the end of the episode when she found out that her parent's marriage is not happy (if unhappy straight marriages are apparently sacred, exactly what makes happy gay ones wrong, essentially). Brian ''[[What the Hell, Hero?|holding the mayor at gun point]]'' in order to get gay marriage legalized also made her see that if he "[[Writer on Board|feels so strongly]]" about it that it merits an ''act of terrorism'', [[Broken Aesop|obviously he must be right]].
** Pulled off [[Broken Aesop|quite badly]] in "Family Gay". Peter gets injected with the "gay gene" (making homosexuality a choice) and instantly becomes the most stereotypical gay man in existence, pretty well shattering any attempt at being progressive they might have had in mind.
