This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. When a story (or a character within the story) resonates strongly with the LGBT community without being specifically made for them. The reason for this is not always known. Maybe it's intentional Fanservice, maybe it's merely unintentional fetish fuel, a plotline that inadvertently acts as a metaphor for LGBT experiences, or maybe just relatable Character Development of an Audience Surrogate (whether intentional or not). Not all LGBT Fanbases are unintentional; quite a bit revolves around canon LGBT characters or relationships. It could be "acceptable" Homoerotic Subtext by creators who are otherwise straight, as with Samurai Jack. It could even have started unintentionally but later have been made official to please the acknowledged fans, as famously happened with Xena: Warrior Princess. If the trope is applied to musical artists, you can expect them to be a popular musical choice for LGBT-friendly bars and annual Pride events. Whatever the case, this trope is for when a work appeals to the LGBT community as well as the mainstream world. Ho Yay can be considered a subtrope of LGBT Fanbase when the fans are LGBT, but Yaoi Fangirls and Yuri Fans do that too. Whichever way you put it, the fans are here, and the fans are queer. When editing examples, keep in mind that a LGBT fanbase doesn't have to be unintentional (compare Periphery Demographic). Works centering on LGBT+ experiences, often made by LGBT+ Creators, go under Queer Media. See also LGBT Representation in Media, Queer Show Ghetto, Watched It for the Representation. |

Jerma985 has a downright massive one, to the extent where "gay people talk about big Jerma streams like they're the Superbowl" is a popular joke online. Much of this stems from the campy, elaborate nature of Jerma's content and the lack of any prominent "dudebro" elements. This section of Jerma's fanbase further increased in size after he explicitly called out transphobic chat members, (video link) and voiced solidarity with the LGBT+ community. | |

Carmilla the Series has a large LGBT following on the internet, due to the implications that none of the characters are hetereosexual, Carmilla herself, a smart nonbinary character and most of the actors and production team being LGBT themselves. It helps that the original story is a famous example of classic LGBT-related literature. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: The comic is written with the intention of showing nothing more intimate than close friendship on-panel and leaving any Shipping to the fandom. The Odd Friendship of two of the male characters runs on a platonic version of Language of Love and went on to become a very popular romantic pairing. While cases can be made for some heterosexual couples as well, there is enough Ho Yay and Les Yay within the rest of the fairly small cast for Cast Full of Gay to show up fairly often in fanfic. Throw in Viewer Gender Confusion-inducing character designs, a world showing a few signs of Gender Is No Object and the canon situation making asexuality a possibility for the entire main cast, and you get a quite LGBT-friendly work. | |

RWBY: From very early on in the series, Monty and the cast, several of whom are members of the LGBTQ community, were open about the show having LGBT characters who would gradually come out to the audience. This attracted LGBTQ fans to the work, including some prominant LGBTQ fan artists. In Volume 5, Ilia became the show's first openly LGBTQ character, with Volume 6 introducing the first LGBTQ family unit through Jaune's sister, Saphron, and her wife and son. They have since been joined by other named characters, such as May Marigold, Coco Adel, and Scarlet David, with Volume 7 confirming Ship Tease exists between fan-favourite pairing, Blake and Yang. | |

The Dream SMP has quite a large one. Dream, Wilbur and Schlatt often jokingly flirt with the people around them, no matter their gender. There's also some representation in the roleplay, as several server-members have gotten into same-gender relationships with one another as characters... and by this, we mean about half the cast is either queer or implied to be queer in one way or another. About 30% of the content creators are also LGBTQ in real life.note Dream himself having an unlabelled sexuality, Ponk using all pronouns, Eret being bi and using all pronouns other than it/its, Niki and Puffy also being bi, Eryn being bi and using he/they pronouns, Boomer using he/they pronouns, Antfrost being gay, Karl being on the ace spectrum, Tina leaning towards being demi (an aspec identity), Aimsey being a lesbian who uses all pronouns, and Ranboo being gay and using he/they pronouns. | |

Jughead of Archie Comics fame has always been interpreted by some as asexual, but when the revival series not only canonised that interpretation but actually delved into it in a nuanced and intelligent way, he exploded onto the scene as a universally beloved asexual icon. Some asexuals and aromantics have even said that that comic series was the best representation they've seen of themselves ever. | |

Wicked has outrageously good musical numbers, a strong emphasis on female relationships, attractive leads, and is based on The Wizard of Oz (which already has a LGBT fanbase). It has many LGBT fans as a result. Gelphie is canon per Word of Gay in the books and musical, and it shows. It's common to joke that the girls mistook their budding attraction for "loathing". So as of now, both Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West are gay icons. | |

Homestuck features an entire race of Everyone Is Bi trolls. Because of this (as well as a lot of Ho Yay and fairly thoughtful treatment of queerness altogether) it has become rather popular among LGBT people. Kanaya is especially popular. Among the humans, Dirk is gay (though he doesn't identify with the term), Jake is bisexual or pansexual, Rose is in a relationship with the aforementioned Kanaya, and Dave is bisexual. The only ones confirmed to not be gay are John and (offhandedly) Jane, and there's some evidence towards the former being asexual, and the latter having a Single-Target Sexuality - for her best friend Jake, and Ron Swanson. | |

Pathfinder's publishers have explicitly stated their intent to appeal to a wide variety of players, regardless of race, gender or sexual preference. As such, many of the setting's iconic characters, NPCs, or deities are gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, or trans: for example, in the licensed comic book series the main romantic pairing is a lesbian couple (and an interspecies one between a light-skinned elf and a brown human, no less), and two prominent NPCs in the Wrath of the Righteous campaign for 1st Edition are a married trans woman and half-orc woman. Paizo has also said that unless specified otherwise, any romanceable NPC has a compatible sexuality with whatever PC chooses to romance them—and they almost never specify otherwise. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The elven Top God Corellon Larethian has been described as androgynous since 1980, and is able to appear as male, female, both or neither - art for the 3rd Edition Deities and Demigods sourcebook even depicts Corellon◊ with rainbow-colored eye-liner. Then the 5th Edition Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes book explained that some elves have the "blessing of Corellon" and are able to change their sex at will after an eight-hour rest, part of a conscious attempt by Wizards of the Coast to embrace its LGBTQ players and make gender fluidity part of the game's official lore. Traditionally, a character's "astral self," as generated by the spell astral projection, looked identical to their sleeping body, save for the infinitely-long silver cord extending back from their heads. But the 5E Monk subclass that follows the "Way of the Astral Self" learns to manifest their astral body in combat, and in a nod to trans players, a sidebox notes that a character's astral self doesn't necessarily look anything like the monk's physical body. "For example, the astral self of a lanky human might be reminiscent of a minotaur - the strength of which the monk feels within. Similarly, an orc monk might manifest gossamer arms and a delicate visage, representing the gentle beauty of the orc's soul. Each astral self is unique, and some of the monks of this monastic tradition are known more for the appearance of their astral self than for their physical appearance." |

Dom of The Dom Reviews has garnered a significant queer following over the years due to sheer amount of respect he shows to the community. He goes out of his way to give glowing reviews to LGBT-themed novels he finds, openly calls out and gets rid of any bigotry that shows up in his comments, once checked in with the bi community because he was worried his blue-purple-pink background was appropriative, and dropped JK Rowling very quickly after her transphobic attitude became more evident. | |

What's the best-selling doll of Ken, Barbie's boyfriend? It's Earring Magic Ken. The reason for its popularity? He looks just like a Camp Gay stereotype with a purple mesh shirt and leather vest, a single earring, and a necklace that some interpreted as a cock ring. As a result, it gained a huge Periphery Demographic of gay men, who rushed to toy stores in droves to buy it, before controversy caused Earring Magic Ken to be recalled. | |

The Bible: The story of David and Jonathan. Though David had no fewer than eight wives, he was said to have loved Jonathan with a passion above all other people. The Ho Yay of this relationship has been acknowledged and celebrated in art at least since the Renaissance. Ruth and Naomi have some significance in the lesbian community as well. |

The Adventure Zone has a very large LGBT following. This is helped by many characters themselves being LGBT. The creators know about this and have gone to great lengths to avoid negative cliches and tropes of the LGBT in media while also providing great characters for those to look up to. In fact, when they introduced a lesbian couple only to kill them off, the podcast faced some criticism for falling under a very well known trope. They rectified this by bringing in a new lesbian couple, while also reviving the previous couple. | |

In El Goonish Shive, of the main ten characters, two are genderfluid, a third is asexual, a fourth is effectively pansexual, a fifth is questioning, a sixth is effectively trans, and a seventh and an eighth are bisexual. The last two are a lesbian and a gay guy. There are also a couple of explicitly transgender people plus several lesbians, gays, and bisexuals. Though the comic is not explicitly aimed at the LGBT community, its LGBT content receives prominent focus so it may be considered Queer Media as well. It helps that the author is bisexual and describes his gender identity as "Non-committal shrug". Also helped by the author being willing to listen to criticisms about Unfortunate Implications in early strips, admit that the parts that are problematic, and making a serious effort after that to be respectful about how gender identity and sexual orientation got treated. | |

Welcome to Night Vale has a pretty large queer following, considering its only featured canon couple is a gay couple, and the fact it never makes a big deal out of them being gay. | |

Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) has quite a few gay fans. He has lampshaded this in interviews, but has said that he really loves his gay fanbase. | |

It's been noted by at least one organization and several psychologists that transgender children are often fond of merpeople. This doesn't only apply to trans girls and mermaids either, as trans boys and nonbinary children also show this interest. One theory is that merpeople are fascinating because they have human tops but nondescript, androgynous bottoms. There's also the fact that the most famous mermaid in the Western world (and especially the Disney movie most kids would be familiar with) undergoes a story arc about changing her body to be able to live the life she wants—and in the Disney movie, she succeeds. The fascination is so prominent than one trans rights charity is outright called "Mermaids". | |

The Muppets: Miss Piggy is cited as somewhat of a queer icon due to being both a classic diva and is traditionally played by a male performer. She's even made appearances at LGBT-related fundraisers at least twice. Gonzo became somewhat of a meme among queer folk (arguably more so than Miss Piggy) due to being considered an outsider even by Muppet standards which a lot of queer children tend to relate to. There's also one comic strip◊ that circulated where he goes to the bathroom labeled "Whatever", and while it's mostly in reference to his ambigious species it regardless became a meme among non-binary people. |
