The opposite of [[Everyone Is Gay]], [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]] is a trope that takes place in a genre filled to the brim with [[Ho Yay]]. So, to compensate for this, every other line of dialogue comments on how some character is straight and their relationship with someone else is platonic. Every other cast member ''also'' comments on how this person is in fact in a totally normal-type relationship. [[Not That There's Anything Wrong With That]], but they aren't.
This isn't just a story that [[Suddenly Sexuality|turns someone straight]] or just takes a hardline on [[Ship Tease]]... this is a story where nobody will shut up about it, ever. Naturally, because of [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]], many people will interpret this as a case of [[Transparent Closet]] whether the character is gay or not. And like all tropes, people will [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|invoke this on purpose]].
If they're not just trying to convince people which way they swing but that they swing ''at all'', it's [[Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?]]
Contrast with [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]]. If a character achieves this through acting gay, that is [[Gay Bravado]]. Contrast [[Armored Closet Gay]] when the person is both homophobic and gay.
