Line 38: * Referenced vaguely a few times in the ''[[Temeraire]]'' series, when Laurence reflects on some of the hazards of the Navy, while musing he was lucky to escape that part of it himself. * Herman Melville's unfinished novella ''[[Billy Budd]]'' makes this [[Older Than Radio]]. It's all about homosexuality among sailors on ships in the age before steamships. Even ''[[Moby Dick]]'' is stuffed full of it. Including Ishmael and Queequeg's status as [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] and Ishmael wading, nay, [[Have a Gay Old Time\|wallowing in sperm]]<ref> Spermaceti, an oil found in the head of the sperm whale, which was originally thought to be whale sperm</ref> along with the rest of the crew. Line 59: * Or on a less insulting note, people questioned the legitimacy of the government using taxpayer money to fund a music video. * Martin Mull sang a rousing sea shanty about being on a 'ship all filled with men' - he does note "But none of us are sissies/And so we sleep in sep'rate beds/and blow each other kissies!" * This trope has been immortalized in song for well over a century at the very least.

Line 66: == Video Games == * In the video game ''[[Tradewinds]]: Legends'', the burly Berber swordsman Hasan Tazere is a [[Invisible to Gaydar]] with occasional [[Camp Gay]] ("Does this tattoo complement my eyes?") and [[Manly Gay]] ("Visit meat market. Find bear.") ~~concerns--and~~concerns—and he's out! E.g., when he makes a particularly large deposit, the Banker is likely to ask if Hasan has met his or her son, and the other playable characters inquire if he's had any success searching for his . . . brother. (Since a [[Running Gag]] of the game is that the playable characters persistently misunderstand each other, this gay troper is convinced that Hasan's warrior brother Omar is straight.) * The trope name is actually a recurring [[Catch Phrase]] in the old ''[[Zork]]'' games. == Web Comics == * Apparently referenced in this [http://www.thecrewdogs.com/2009_11_13 Crew Dogs]{{Dead link}} strip by an Air Force member.
