* Rapper Alpa Chino in ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'' has built his career around this trope. {{spoiler|He's gay.}}
{{quote| ''I love the puss (hell yeah)/I love the pussy (hell yeah)/I love the pussy rollin' down to the floor''}}
* ''[[Gor|Outlaw of Gor]]''. Watney Smith is trying a little too hard to declare how turned on he is by girls, despite being the [[Stop Helping Me!|annoying sidekick]] of muscular blond hunk Cabot ("[[Ear Worm|CABOT!]]")
{{quote| '''Watney:''' ''(looking at a blond girl)'' Oooh, yeah, I love 'em!<br />
'''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)|Tom Servo]]:''' I am ''so'' heterosexual! }}
Line 312:
* After former U.S. Senator Larry Craig was caught having a homosexual affair, he arranged an interview that was essentially him mentioning he was heterosexual over and over again, with his wife constantly by his side. ''[[The Daily Show]]'' was naturally all over this. "And look! He's ''married''! To a ''woman''! A ''she-woman''!"
** And that's not even going into his "wide stance" excuse.
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Haggard:Ted Haggard|Ted Haggard]] is an evangelical pastor in Colorado and leader of the National Association of Evangelicals until 2006, when a escort and masseur claimed Haggard had been paying him for sex for three years. He went into intensive counselling with four ministers, one of whom later claimed Haggard "was completely heterosexual" This is satirised by the song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZmHC75FDqQ Ted Haggard Is Completely Heterosexual]" by Roy Zimmerman. (Later, Haggard said in an interview "...probably, if I were 21 in this society, I would identify myself as a bisexual.")
* A running joke on one season of ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' was that whenever Jason Donovan was mentioned, someone would quickly add a variation on "Jason Donovan? Did you know he's ''heterosexual''?" - a reference to his then-topical overly defensive response to claims to the contrary - he sued a magazine which said he was gay. [[Not That There's Anything Wrong With That|Not because there was anything wrong with that]], of course, but because t hey said he was ''lying'' about it.
* When Eric "Eazy-E" Wright of the rap group N.W.A. revealed that he'd developed full-blown AIDS, he pretty much spent the remaining few months of his life telling anyone who would listen that he didn't get the disease from gay sex, but from [[Values Dissonance|good old fashioned groupie banging]].
Line 324:
** We probably all ''[[Acceptable Inevitable Targets|were]]'' like this at one point in our lives, that point most commonly being [[Hormone-Addled Teenager|early puberty.]]
* One famous example: When Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere were married there were rumors that the marriage was a cover for one or both of them being gay. In 1994 they placed a full page paid advertisement in the London Times to state "We are heterosexual and monogamous and take our commitment to each other very seriously."
* Upon becoming President [[George W. Bush]]'s new Chief of Staff in 2006, 51 year-old bachelor Josh Bolten had a press release sent out, letting everyone know that he lived with his girlfriend and her children. Also, it detailed his loves of bowling and motorcycles.
* When Cybil Shepherd addressed the 1993 gay rights March on Washington, she opened her speech by recounting how her father asked her, "Why are you addressing the rally? You're straight!" Gotta make sure to get that in the first paragraph, don't you know.
* From an actual magazine cover: ''"[[Justin Bieber (Music)|Justin Bieber]]! He's young! He's a star! And he just loooooooooooves girls!"'' Glad we cleared ''that'' up...
