Line 2: This is a trope about fictional portrayals of gay men's weddings, in which one of them will invariably be wearing a white tuxedo, and the other a black tuxedo. The reason for this trope is that a white tuxedo functions as a man's take on the bride's white dress. Sometimes, a [[Gender Flip]] will be seen in which two women marry and one of them, usually a [[Butch Lesbian]], wears [[Hot Chick in a Badass Suit\|a black tuxedo or skirt suit]] while the other, often a [[Lipstick Lesbian]], wears a traditional wedding dress. The trope can carry the [[Unfortunate ~~Implication~~Implications]] that the partners are being/going to be shoehorned into the same roles and dynamics as a stereotypical heterosexual relationship. Many gay couples in [[Real Life]] avoid this simply by dressing the same or at least not following the black/white dynamic. But since there's no clear-cut image in the mainstream consciousness of what a gay wedding is suppose to look like, such couples arguably have more freedom than straights in picking and choosing which traditions to keep or discard. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * The [[Gender Flip\|gender-flipped]] example in ''[[Rental Magica]]'' is shown in the episode titled "White and Black Dresses". Justified in-universe in that they're colors associated with the brides's magical traditions. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 19 ⟶ 22: == [[Western Animation]] == * Subverted in ''[[South Park]]'': Big Gay Al and Mr. Slave ''both'' wear dresses when they get married. {{Needs More Examples}} {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Tropes in White~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Queer As Tropes]] [[Category:~~Gay Groom~~Tropes in a White ~~Tux~~]]▼ [[Category:Wedding and Engagement Tropes]] ▲[[Category:Gay Groom in a White Tux]]
