This girl is responsible for a guy in a [[Transparent Closet]] [[Eureka Moment|realizing]] he's gay, and [[Gender Flip|inversely]] this could be a guy responsible for a Closeted Lesbian realizing she's gay. The situation is usually that after their first kiss (or sexual encounter in some cases) he realizes that he doesn't feel the right kind of chemistry with her, and outs himself to her and breaks the relationship. Usually this requires that the ex-boyfriend ''profusely'' reassure her that "[[Its Not You Its Me]]" and that she'll eventually find someone who will return her feelings. On the positive side, they may end up on the good end of [[Just Friends]]. |

This can be [[Played for Laughs]] or [[Played for Drama]] with the girl fretting that she's a [[You're Not My Type|terrible romantic prospect]], or [[The Libby|such a shrew]] or so bad in bed she literally [[Sorry I'm Gay|drove the guy into forsaking his heterosexuality]]. Can be played for extra laughs/tears by her having several boyfriends do this ''in a row'', and then with Mom calling to ask whether she's "turned another guy gay". |

In the least conflictive examples, the guy will realize due to outside events rather than from their (lack of) chemistry. Sometimes it'll happen ''after'' they've broken up, which may or may not be a relief to the girl. In comedies, this can be a funny way of [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends]]. |

This trope is in a way the [[Inverted Trope|Inverse]] of [[Closet Key]], rather than a lack of reaction from a heterosexual partner, it's a same-sex attraction leading to the epiphany. It's worth noting that some women may become [[Fag Hag|Fag Hags]] who [[Settled for Gay]] because [[All the Good Men Are Gay]]. |
