Gayngst is often found in the [[Boys Love]] and [[Girls Love]] works for obvious reasons.

* ''[[Khaos Komix]]'', as a teen drama with a [[Cast Full of Gay]], pretty much runs on this trope: Steve has internalized Jamie's homophobia enough that he wrestles with the idea of being gay; Mark knows his parents have already disowned his brother for, among many other things, his homosexuality; Amber is frightened of the controversy, and her mother, although accepting of Steve and Mark, is less so with Amber, {{spoiler|because she's frightened for her safety...and speaking from experience}}; Nay casually accepts her own bisexuality, but she's seeing Amber; Murfs had a basically pansexual upbringing, but as a child, ran headlong into Jamie's [[Freudian Excuse]], which left him reflexively homophobic until he met Tom; Tom, a transman (by definition, a source of angst in its own right), is afraid of letting Murfs know, much less sleeping with him, for fear of being seen as a woman; and Charlie, a transwoman, has started an outright dangerous relationship with the homophobic Jamie.

* Vinci from ''[[Vinci and Arty (Webcomic)|Vinci and Arty]]'' exhibits this trope often, especially when the couple's more conservative neighbours show off their discontent for the homosexual duo.
