Want to demonstrate that your villain is undeniably evil but also has a flair for the (melo)dramatic or a knack for classically decadent self-indulgence? Make him a Flaming Devil! Simply put, the Flaming Devil is a representation of Satan or any other demon with Camp Gay, or at least Ambiguously Gay, characteristics. Often but not always a villain or a demonstrable Depraved Homosexual, he's effeminate and at least prone to misbehaving, if not outright wicked. The origins of this trope are Older Than Steam. Epicene depictions of Satan date back to the Middle Ages, in which folklore often described the Devil and his minions as having Ambiguous Genders and tempting men sexually. The homosexual implications in Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and overtly bisexual Mephistopheles in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust eventually codified the image of a gleefully evil and flamboyantly effeminate devil. Not necessarily related to Succubi and Incubi. Nor to Hot as Hell, though there can definitely be overlap. See also Sissy Villain. Though it is possible that they could overlap, a devil appearing Wreathed in Flames is a different trope. Compare Hot God. |

Hades from Disney's Hercules is a variation on the trope, especially since he's portrayed as analogous to Satan. The Nostalgia Chick called him "Meg's bitchy gay boyfriend" in her review of the movie. | |

On a Halloween episode of Community, the study group tells scary stories which we see played out in Fantasy Sequences with members of the study group representing the characters. One story features Satan, who was represented by the Dean (who is pansexual, but extremely camp and prone to crossdressing). | |

Boris Lermontov in the 1948 film The Red Shoes is strongly implied to be Satan in human form. As with nearly the entire cast of the movie, he's also implied to be gay. | |

In the Webtoons comic Adventures of God, God sends a gay hairdresser to Hell. Upon finding out that the man was sent due to his orientation, Lucifer asks God to "Stop setting me up!" Their relationship is teased throughout the series by many characters who want to see the relationship progress, including his Right-hand Man, Ebag. | |

Supernatural: Crowley, a Man of Wealth and Taste and the current King of Hell. He started out as a crossroads demon, the kind that humans make deals with, and these deals are made official with a kiss on the lips, so being a Depraved Bisexual is pretty much a job requirement. In the episode "Season 7, Time For A Wedding!", the main antagonist is the demon Guy, a sharp dresser with an affected lilt who is not shy about finding Sam and Dean attractive or about his own vanity. |

On the short-lived animated series God, the Devil and Bob, the Devil, voiced as an Evil Brit by Alan Cumming, isn't extremely camp, but he's certainly dapper and way more uptight than God, who's voiced by James Garner and is more of a laidback Jerry Garcia type. | |

Played with by South Park, where Satan is gay, but is Straight Gay, if not full-on Manly Gay due to his huge and buff physique... at least most of the time, anyway. He spent all of "Hell on Earth 2006" acting like a spoiled teenage girl, but that was about it. He's also shown to be pretty nice, only torturing actual sinners while everyone else has A Hell of a Time (in South Park, everyone who isn't a Mormon gets sent to Hell whether they've sinned or not). | |

Jennifer's Body gives us a Distaff Counterpart in the form of Jennifer Check, who returns from death possessed by a succubus. Despite seducing boys to eat them, the main attraction she shows throughout the movie is toward her female best friend. This was apparently intentional on the part of Jennifer's actor Megan Fox, herself bisexual. | |
