Bush-Michael Dukakis presidential election had a sketch called "The Gay Communist Gun Club", where the hosts basically shot down potential members for not meeting all three criteria (gay, communist and love guns). At the end, they endorsed Bush as their presidential candidate.

* [[Stephen Colbert]]'s [[Strawman Political|right-wing pundit persona]] in ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' is [[Transparent Closet|played as a thinly repressed homosexual]].
