Sitting on the opposite end of the spectrum from [[Camp Gay]], [[Manly Gay]] is when a homosexual male character is shown not only in lacking [[Camp]] or feminine traits, but kept going in the opposite direction and [[Rated ~~Mfor~~ Manly|into the realm of pure masculinity]].

Sitting on the opposite end of the spectrum from [[Camp Gay]], [[Manly Gay]] is when a homosexual male character is shown not only in lacking [[Camp]] or feminine traits, but kept going in the opposite direction and [[Rated M for Manly|into the realm of pure masculinity]].

A character who is [[Manly Gay]] is the complete opposite of the [[Camp]] stereotype. Typically such characters are large and strong, and shown doing masculine things like sports and working class jobs. He may have a [[Carpet of Virility]], he may be a [[Badass]], or he may have [[Stout Strength]]...but regardless of how he got here, the result is the same: While being gay, he's manlier than your average man, straight or [[Straight Gay]].

* [[Star Fox (Video Game)|Wolf O'Donnell]] is going to [[Memetic Molester|tan your hide]]. Wolf is written as a homoerotically aggressive [[Big Badass Wolf|dominant alpha male]], invoking Japanese [[Manly Gay]] tropes along with being a [[Testosterone Poisoning|hypermasculine]] [[Mr. Fanservice]]. To cap it all off, his appearance is accentuated to scream a variety of gay stereotypes, including [[Leather Man|leather]], and (in ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'') [[Gay Cowboy|chaps]] over his pants, and a just-barely-conspicuous touch of [[Macho Camp]] pink and purple in his color scheme.

* [[Wild Arms 2 (Video Game)|Brad Evans]] is normally [[Gentle Giant|gentle and soft-spoken]] [[Mighty Glacier|outside battle]], and ''would'' be [[Straight Gay]] in his relationship with [[Closet Key|Billy Pilder]], if not for sheer ''appearances''. Extremely muscular and at 7 feet tall, Brad is built like a [[Badass]] tank, [[Rated ~~Mfor~~ Manly|oozing testosterone]] in every scene he appears in. With buff shoulders, toned abs and [[Walking Shirtless Scene|half his chest always bare]], he's also very much a [[Mr. Fanservice]], particularly in his animated FMV clips.

* [[Street Fighter|Zangief]] is a good example of this. It's not outright confirmed he's gay but many of his win quotes hints towards this.
