* This is subverted in the movie ''[[In and Out]]'', where the protagonist making these protestations {{spoiler|discovers he is indeed homosexual.}}
* Kirk, in the novelization of ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'', says something like this about himself and Spock. Except he is so ambiguous in what he says that it can actually be interpreted as [[Ho Yay|him confirming his gay/bi-ness just as easily.]] The relevant line is: "As for myself, though I have no moral or other objections to physical love in any of its many earthly, alien and mixed forms, I have always found my best gratification in that creature ''woman''." As many people have pointed out, "best" is a relative term, which would indicate that Kirk has, at some point, had sex with someone who ''isn't'' a woman. (See [https://web.archive.org/web/20131122154404/http://www.alternateuniverses.com/judygran/footnote.txt here] for a breakdown of the whole quote.)
* In ''[[Bend It Like Beckham]]'', when Jules is explaining to her mother that she's not a lesbian, she ends it by saying there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian anyways. Her mother, who is in tears and had just thrown a fit over her "discovery", quickly composes herself and adamantly agrees.
* In the commentary for ''[[Val Lewton|The Seventh Victim]]'', film historian Steve Haberman discusses the [[Les Yay|lesbian undertones]] present in much of the movie, and ends with this trope.
