This girl is responsible for a guy in a Transparent Closet realizing he's gay, and inversely this could be a guy responsible for a closeted woman realizing she's a lesbian. The situation is usually that after their first kiss (or sexual encounter in some cases) he realizes that he doesn't feel the right kind of chemistry with her, and outs himself to her and breaks the relationship. Usually this requires that the ex profusely reassure them that "It's Not You, It's Me" and that they'll eventually find someone who will return their feelings. On the positive side, they may end up on the good end of Just Friends and have a high chance of becoming Amicable Exes.
This can be Played for Laughs or Drama with the girl fretting that she's a terrible romantic prospect, or such a shrew or so bad in bed she literally drove the guy into forsaking his heterosexuality. Can be played for extra laughs/tears by her having several boyfriends do this in a row, and then with Mom calling to ask whether she's "turned another guy gay".
In the least conflictive examples, the guy will realize due to outside events rather than from their (lack of) chemistry. Sometimes it'll happen after they've broken up, which may or may not be a relief to the girl. In comedies, this can be a funny way of Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends.
A comedy will usually imply that the straight partner is so bad at sex that their otherwise bisexual partner rules out their gender out of disgust.
Sub-trope to LGBT Awakening. This may be the outcome of a Bisexual Love Triangle. This trope is in a way the Inverse of Closet Key, rather than a lack of reaction from a heterosexual partner, it's a same-sex attraction leading to the epiphany. It's worth noting that some women may become Fag Hags who Settled for Gay because All the Good Men Are Gay.

Pictured above is the end of one of Li Yun's past relationships with a nameless extra in Bailin and Li Yun. It's only one example of them ending unceremoniously, which left him with a fear of going into any further relationships.

Scott Pilgrim:
At the end of the last volume Scott learns that Steven Stills got a boyfriend. Scott is beside himself about how he feels Stephen's (now ex) girlfriend for the majority of the comic, Julie, turned him gay.
Also there's Kim Pines and Knives Chau kissing, tho, because Scott saw it and he freaked out about it to everyone and nobody took him seriously, this maybe have been the Unreliable Narrator which was creeping in at this point. Or you know they were having Sex for Solace. It never gets clarified, and seeing as they're tertiary characters at that point, never needs to.

According to Clerks: The Animated Series, this is a regular occurrence for Randall. This is even more prevalent than in the movies, to the point that one girl turns lesbian after interacting with him for a few minutes. To his ex-girlfriends he epitomizes the worthlessness of dating men, while he misses the point and assumes that he is simply such an awesome man that they give up on ever finding his equal again.

Comically invoked in Ayakashi Triangle: Though Suzu was already in love with Matsuri, him being turned female ended up showing she was into girls as well. When Matsuri is split into a boy and girl, Suzu favoring the girl makes boy Matsuri worried she was only ever into girls. (In truth, Suzu's preference was based on their emotional bond, not her sexual orientation.)

Absolutely Fabulous: Edina, Edina, Edina. First husband? Identified as homosexual and left her. Second husband? Became The Alcoholic, and left her... to realize that he may be bi (if not just deeply closeted gay) afterwards. Guy she banged really loudly so she can get him, his wife, and their baby out of her house? Came out as gay several seasons later. Really, you could make a case that she's a walking Brown Note to heterosexuality itself and that intercourse with her leaves straight sex ruined.

Invoked in American Dad!. After Jeff is abducted by aliens, Snot finally manages to score a date with a despondent Haley. Afterwards he realizes that he's not really into it, being more into the chase than the catch. Because of Haley's depression (and because she has a history of going ballistic whenever she gets dumped), Steve begs him to break up with her in a way that won't set her off. Snot decides to tell Haley that he's gay, and she helped him realize that. If he can't make it work with a woman as perfect as her, then that proves beyond any doubt that he's gay. Haley accepts it with no hard feelings.

Seraph of the End: Both Guren and Shinya to Mahiru, although the circumstances are vastly different. For Guren, Mahiru is his first and only love, so after she died and turned to a demon, having a vast amount of her humanity wiped off, he never looks for love again whether female or male. For Shinya, she was supposed to be his fiance, but since she loved Guren, he didn't stand a chance. Their relationship became more and more strained until he got totally done with her and completely switched his interest to Guren instead. And in the present, when asked what his preference for the opposite sex is, he simply replies along the lines of: "My fiance was like that, so I got tired..."

Happily Divorced averts this trope. In the case of that show, the husband has always been gay, but he doesn't reveal it to his wife until they've been married for a long time and he wants a divorce so he can live a gay life. Bonus points for being based on star Fran Drescher's real life.

Seinfeld: The show plays with the trope.
After George sees his ex-girlfriend Susan with another woman, and confirming that she started dating women right after they broke up, he starts worrying that being with him was such an awful experience that it put her off men entirely. When he confronts Susan about it, she dismisses the idea as totally ridiculous. However, George's fear is all but confirmed at the end of the episode when the two of them run into another one of George's exes, who starts flirting with Susan almost immediately. Susan would later go back to men and actually get engaged to George. Apparently her lesbianism "didn't take".
The same episode also humorously inverts the trope. Susan's girlfriend, who has never been with a man in her life, is turned straight after a night with Kramer.

This is the college backstory of Will & Grace, as revealed in a flashback episode.
Later on Grace is proud that she helped Will come to terms, only to find out that she wasn't this for him because he slept with one last woman just to be sure. To make things even more awkward, that woman turns out to be the ex-girlfriend of Grace's husband Leo.
It becomes a Running Gag that many of Grace's ex-boyfriends turned out to be gay.

Glee had a fair share of hetero relationships involving gay characters, but unsurprisingly tends to avert the trope. Most of the gay characters shown in some sort of hetero relationship (Kurt, Santana, Blaine, Karofsky, ect.) are aware of their gayness while being in said relationship. Those relationships are often one-sided or mutual bearding, mostly as a part of an Armoured Closet Gay act, or maybe a sexual experiment. Seeing how Glee doesn't really believe in bisexuality, and in spite having a Cast Full of Gay has only one bisexual character (Brittany) and a whole lot of biphobic gays, the writers seem to be more fond of the gay Closet Key trope is their engine of choice in their numerous coming out stories.

In the My Hero Academia fanfic The Gear Maketh the Hero, Izuku and Itsuka date for a time before Itsuka realizes she's a lesbian and breaks up with him. Izuku later mocks Itsuka's poor luck with the ladies by referencing this incident, saying he's had more success with lesbians than she has.

Strangely played with in Ouran High School Host Club by Ryoji and his wife Kotoko. Ryoji already knew he was bisexual when they hooked up, and it was Kotoko's death that made him swear off interest in women, even if he'll still look at guys.

In The War at Home, while Kenny was living with the Golds, his date Dylan stops by, which leads to hilarity, as Hillary discovers that it's her ex-boyfriend.
Bonus points, in that Hillary once dated Kenny, but Kenny was utterly repulsed by kissing her.

Melissa and Justin in El Goonish Shive. They were childhood friends, but when they were old enough to finally date, Justin realized he felt no physical attraction to her. Melissa is also inadvertently responsible for outing him in the more traditional sense since afterwards she was devastated by his realization and needed someone to talk to about it and settled for her sister, the town's biggest gossip.
Nanase also has this with Elliot. Unlike Justin, Nanase dated a bunch of guys looking for the right one, but Elliot was the closest she came to an ideal boyfriend and she still wasn't feeling it. She did not, however, immediately come out as gay after breaking up with him. That took a Closet Key in the form of Ellen, Elliot's Opposite-Sex Clone. It is that kind of comic.
More recently, after Elliot and Sarah break up while remaining Just Friends in very good terms, people assumed that this trope was the only way that'd happen, and started the rumor that he was gay. Nothing could be further from the truth, though: actually both of them wanted to break up, but for different reasons, namely Sarah was disappointed at the lack of physical intimacy and his inability to take the initiative, whereas Elliot eventually realized he saw Sarah more like a sister due to the Westermarck effect.

In Mamma Mia!, it is revealed late in the story that Donna was this for Harry Bright, one of Sophie's potential fathers. It is part of the reason why he is happy to even have "a third" of Sophie note  The three potential fathers decide to split the role of being Sophie's dad, never finding out who is her biological father. , since he never thought he could have kids of his own (this was written in the late 1990s, when gay adoption was still illegal in Harry's home county, the United Kingdom). In the stage version he reveals he is in a committed gay relationship, while in the film version, he is seen flirting with one of the male wedding guests.

In the first season of The Wire, Detective Kima Greggs, a fairly Butch Lesbian, meets up with an ex-boyfriend that she's still friendly with and the two joke with each other for a bit. At one point she teases him that he shouldn't be so proud about being one of (or maybe the) last guy she was with, joking that "You're the one who turned me the other way!"

He has only been with men since their night together, however, and Benny refuses to believe that someone she slept with could turn out to be gay. It turns out she's right—they never had sex, Benny just passed out drunk.

The Class Menagerie had Mikey being pursued by the flirtatious Lisa for most of the series run, only to reveal near the end that he's been a closeted gay man this whole time, and he's been in denial, hoping that having Lisa's interest would "spark" something for him. She's the first person he's ever told about it, having been deep in the closet since high school.

This is played with when Victor spends the majority of season one dating Mia in Love, Victor. While he still feels a growing attraction to Benji, he loves being around Mia and wonders if he may be bisexual. What finally helps him realize that he’s gay is that while Mia is an ideal girlfriend, he still doesn’t feel the same attraction that he feels for boys.

Wandering Son: Downplayed in that it is only a crush, but Nitori's crush on Takatsuki is this. She is fond of him for being similar to her and helping her with being feminine, and develops a crush on him. It's however unrequited due to Takatsuki not thinking of her like that in spite of him clearly cherishing her as a friend. In the end, she gets over her crush on him and ends up with her girlfriend Anna. It's also worth noting that Takatsuki is the only boy Nitori likes - she's otherwise interested in girls and most other boys bully her.

Played for laughs - in a slightly cruel way - in Girls with Slingshots. Jamie has a period where she starts questioning her sexuality. Thea, Hazel's lesbian boss, suggests they sleep together to find out. They do and Jamie decides she isn't a lesbian after all. After she leaves, Thea is shown adding about the fiftieth line to a 'number of girls turned straight' chart with a sigh.

Robin lost her virginity to a gay guy, only not really because he'd barely gotten in before he stopped and announced, "Yeah, I'm gay." Considering that the guy was as camp as you could be without starring in The Birdcage, and his room looked like Liberace's sewing room, she should really have seen it coming.

1632: Harry Lefferts insists he should be this for Sherry, as, since he is a typical redneck, he will make her lose faith in men and realize her "true" sexuality. How much is Harry being in stereotypical redneck emotional denial about having genuine feelings for Sherry, how much is Harry being a dick to a woman in her late twenties with no romantic history to speak of, and how much is friendly banter between Spec Ops operators who have been righting wrongs and blowing stuff up all over Europe for three years, is up for debate.
