Sometimes, a character needs a little encouragement to realize (or fully understand) that they are on the LGBT spectrum. Usually this involves falling for someone, but it can even be something as simple as seeing something in the media and realizing it fits them. Another way is that someone in the spotlight, such as a celebrity, comes out, which inspires others to come out too. There is some Truth in Television in this. Many people don't understand what being gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, etc. is until they see it in fiction or on the news. This is one reason why many people believe that LGBT representation in media is important. Super-Trope to Closet Key, which is when feelings for someone provokes the revelation in people, and Last Het Romance, which is when a character realizes they're gay after trying to date the opposite gender. Sub-Trope to Tomato in the Mirror and related to Coming-Out Story and Coming Of Age Queer Romance. Bi-Wildered is also a common trope causing one of these. See also Mentor in Queerness. Compare Queer Establishing Moment, where the narrative establishes a character as queer, whether they knew they were queer beforehand or not. If this happens later in life, this is a Late Coming Out. |

I Am J: J first heard about trans people at age 11 when channel-flipping and coming across an exploitative talk show episode about trans women. The next day he began researching online about being trans. J stopped researching after being dissatisfied with what he found on SRS. It took 6 more years for him to start wondering about transition again. | |

Yellow Brick Ramble: This is a comic-slash-graphic-novel adaptation of The Marvelous Land of Oz, the second book of the Oz series, retold from the Trans Audience Interpretation. Anyone who has read the original novel will remember the twist ending where the main character, the Farm Boy Tippetarius, turned out to be the long-lost Princess Ozma forcibly transformed into a boy by magic. Because of this twist ending, the main character of the original novel has long been considered a transgender icon, and Yellow Brick Ramble runs with this by having the main character realize their inner transgender identity and begin transitioning quite early in the story. This is in sharp contrast to the original novel, where all such changes happened at the end, had no real foreshadowing, and were basically forced rather than chosen freely. Be aware that this comic assumes the reader knows that spoiler-tagged info above, because it is central to how the comic artist has rewritten the story. People sensitive to spoilers are advised to read the original novel first before diving into this comic. Fortunately, the copyright on The Marvelous Land of Oz expired a long time ago, so it is legally available for free all over the internet. |

Ranma in Skies of Blue, Red Roses Too is mostly in denial at the start, claiming a bit too emphatically to herself that she’s just using her female form as a disguise until she gets somewhere safe, or hot showers make her uncomfortable. It’s only after spending time in Beach Cityand despite her protests that There Are No Therapists that can handle her, finding a Gem therapist that can help her does she end her denial. | |

But I'm a Cheerleader has Megan believe that she is straight, more so because she doesn't fully understand same-sex attraction until she is sent to a gay conversion camp by her parents. Here she is told that she is a lesbian, and forced to come out in order to start therapy, to the point that she realizes her feelings for one of the other girls there isn't platonic. | |

BoJack Horseman: Todd doesn't seem to have thought about his sexuality much until he reunites with Emily in season 3 and she, after unsuccessfully pursuing him for a while, asks if he's gay. He admits that he doesn't really know what he is, and thinks he might be 'nothing.' By the next season, he seems to understand himself a little better and says that he might be asexual, which is confirmed as he attends an asexual meetup and realizes he does relate to the other people there and has some of his own misconceptions (most notably, that asexuals can't want relationships) corrected. | |

In Girlfrenemies, it takes Apple pretending to be Raven's girlfriend for the wheels to start turning in her head that maybe she isn't straight after all. No one in the school doubts their relationship because they're so obviously in love, with Duchess' attempts at trying to out them as liars failing because no one believes Apple and Raven aren't dating. It takes some introspection and panicking until Apple fully comes to terms with her feelings toward Raven and her attraction toward girls. | |

In the Italian comedy Le Comiche 2, after a patient mix-up, a male character undergoes an accidental breast augmentation. Later in the movie, he has a comedic underwear exposure, revealing he is wearing a bra supporting large breasts (despite still presenting as male). The shame and embarrassment of the character is Played for Laughs. It is implied that some time has occurred so it remains unknown why he didn't medically correct the issue (embarrassment to seek help? lack of time/money? or started to develop feelings towards his newly acquired assets?). Shortly after he ends up in a hospital and he is given an equally accidental sexual reassignment surgery. Completely turned into a woman, she ends up enthusiastic about her new gender and life, despite the rather convoluted journey. | |

In the Raising Hope episode, "The Men of New Natesville," Jimmy and Frank decide to take revenge on their old high school bully, but are flabbergasted to find he's transitioned to female. She reveals that a run-in with Jimmy's mom, who scrawled lipstick on the bully's face and called him a girl, made her realize that she was actually transgender. She apologizes to them for her behavior (which unfortunately isn't enough for Frank, who attacks and causes her to beat up him and Jimmy again). | |

Supergirl (2015): In season 2, Alex becomes friends with Maggie, a lesbian cop, and tries to console her when she gets dumped by her girlfriend, which Maggie takes as hitting on her. She initially replies that she's not gay, but then begins to re-evaluate the situation because of conversations with Winn and her own experience of not liking men and enjoying feeling close to female friends — this especially, the remembering of a romantic discovery that she'd buried, leads her to come out. | |

Paranatural: According to Johnny, RJ began identifying as non-binary (specifically, neither a boy nor a girl) and going by they/them pronouns after learning about the topic from an informational zine at a concert. In chapter 5, Ed learns about non-binary gender from Johnny and RJ. In chapter 8, which takes place the next day, Ed's narration uses primarily "they/them/their" pronouns (along with a few "he/him/his"s) in self-reference, and when Ed gets the impression that Crush doesn't know what boys or girls are, they reflect that "they'd been lost on that front too since their strange conversation with RJ and Johnny the other day." |

To Forget Venice: Nicky's is shown in a Pensieve Flashback. One day when he was a boy of 12 or so, his friend Rosino met him in an old mill, bringing pictures of naked women (actually Renaissance nudes). When Rosino looked through the window and saw some women skinnydipping, he stripped to his underwear before running off to join them. Nicky, who could only look at his mostly naked friend instead of the all-naked women by the lake, had a moment of gay realization. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: In volume 2 (episode 7 of the anime), Pete Reston wakes up from a Catapult Nightmare to discover he's turned into a girl. In a fairly blatant allegory to this trope, Oliver explains he's awakened as a "reversi" (a Sex Shifter), which comes complete with Carlos Whitrow, a nonbinary upperclassmen, inviting him to join the in-universe equivalent of a queer students' club (focused on Sex Magic and Gender Restricted Abilities rather than mundane queerness, which is generally considered unremarkable among mages). | |

In Microserfs, a group of computer programmers leave their jobs at Microsoft (where they have pretty much a work/eat/sleep lifestyle) and found a startup in Silicon Valley, where they end up having a much more balanced lifestyle. One programmer, troubleshooter "Bug Barbecue", announces he's gay after they have lived in Silicon Valley for some time; his proximity to San Francisco and access to its gay community seems to have played a role in his coming out. | |

Seems to be Harley's journey on Harley Quinn (2019) as her significant relationship before Ivy is with the Joker, and she is a bit slow on the uptake of her true feelings for Ivy. She is not shown in flashbacks to have had past LGBTQ relationships, unlike Ivy who seems to have a thing for Catwoman. | |

Tedd from El Goonish Shive didn't know being nonbinary was a thing until Grace taught him about being genderfluid. Nanase didn't know or even consider that she might be a lesbian until she developed a crush on Ellen, allowing these feelings only because she mistakenly believed that Ellen gave off pheromones that made her attractive to everyone. Diane discovered very abruptly that she was interested in dating Lucy. |

Fun Home: Alison Bechdel's earliest memory of identifying as a lesbian was at five when she saw a Butch Lesbian dressed in men's clothes, describing it like recognizing a stranger from a home country. In Are You My Mother?, she also points to watching The Sound of Music as a child and becoming attracted to Julie Andrews. | |

In the Twilight fic "North Star", when Renesmee fled Forks to make her own life away from Jacob after she has settled into New York and made friends, it takes a comment by another member of her new group for Renesmee to realise that she is attracted to her new friend Jo, which she attributes in hindsight to the fact that she's been around male/female couples all her life and just isn't used to thinking of even the possibility of a same-sex couple. | |

She notes that she had begun to develop feelings for a female upperclassman, but the event that actually made her realize what those feelings were was when she watched an American TV show where two female characters happened to kiss. | |
