So, you're newly out of the closet. Likely in your late teens or early twenties, the world can be a confusing place for a young queer person (especially in pre-New Millennium works). How do you find a date? How do you transition? Where can you meet people similar to you? Here is where this trope comes in. The protagonist will meet an older character. Out, proud, and confident, they will help the lead with their troubles and be a shoulder to cry on if things go sour along the story. They also inspire the protagonist and show that not all queer people end up miserable and/or dead. A large number of Coming Out Stories have this type of character. They're almost never a Love Interest (and oftentimes they are in a relationship already). Instead, they're more of an older sibling figure and a confidant to the main character. If they're in a relationship then they and their partner might act as a Beta Couple to the lead. Compare to Cool Big Sis and Big Brother Mentor for more general examples. Lover and Beloved is a usually gay male trope where the lover is also the character's mentor. |

I Am J: After running away from home for a few days, seventeen-year-old trans boy J meets Marcia. She's a trans woman who visits the motel looking for runaway teens to give them advice. Marcia recommends that J visit a shelter for LGBT teens. She's a bit character who only appears in that one scene, but she has a major impact on J's Coming-Out Story. Chanelle, who goes to J's high school, is a twenty-year-old trying to graduate (with the cut-off age being twenty-one). Chanelle is a trans woman herself, and she acts as J's older sister-esque friend who helps him where his cisgender Childhood Friend Melissa cannot. J meets Zak, an older trans guy, at a support group for transmasculine people. He helps inspire J and is his sole male friend. |

In But I'm a Cheerleader, which takes place in a gay conversion camp, Lloyd and Larry are an older gay couple who met at the camp. They help sneak the characters out of the camp and into the local gay bar and generally introduce the kids to what life is like as an out person. When Dolph and Megan are thrown out of the camp, they even take them in until they can live on their own. | |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia subverts this for laughs when Mac visits his formerly-closeted Black Sheep Uncle Donald. Charlie states the obvious that Donald is offering the support and affection Mac never got from his parentsnote To drive it home he's played by Gregory Scott Cummins, who also plays Mac's homophobic dad, but Mac is completely apathetic and just wants to get some family heirlooms and leave. | |

Our Dreams at Dusk focuses on an LGBT-friendly drop-in center where people of several age groups regularly converge, and several dynamics like this form naturally between the characters. Tasuku, the protagonist, is particularly drawn to Haruko after seeing her with her wife, Saki. In turn, Haruko recognizes Tasuku is in the closet and looking for community, and she helps bring him into the fold and later becomes the first person he comes out to. Meanwhile, Tasuku wants to become a figure like this to Misora, a younger patron, after remembering how alone he felt when he was younger and frightened by the realization he was gay. While it's hinted that Misora would like to have a relationship like this with Tasuku, Tasuku realizes that the person Misora truly looks up to is "Someone," glowing upon receiving praise from her and admitting his admiration of her mystique and aloofness. Unfortunately, the qualities he admires so much mean that Someone isn't actually that good of a mentor figure, and when Misora reaches out to her after the events of Chapter 9, he's left even more hurt when she is unable to offer him any comfort or advice. |

In the Whateley Universe, all the openly LGBTQ+ kids are placed into Poe Cottage, and have been for decades. (The Unfortunate Implications of this are discussed.) During new student orientation, they're given a student guide dependent upon their sexual orientation and/or gender - for trans kids, in the first generation, that's Beltane. Averted elsewhere, though: those who aren't open about their orientation to the staff get placed in other cottages, which adds to some major issues for folks like Sahar and Tansy. | |

Long-time gay Miss Alice Band is this to new Assassins' Guild graduate Jocasta Wiggs in Discworld fics by A.A. Pessimal. in fact, there is a possibility Alice acts as a mentor and a discreet help to young Assassin students who have reason to suspect boys will not feature more than incidentally in their lives. (She was, however, professional enough as a teacher to wait till after Jocasta had graduated. She knows where the line is and not to cross it.) | |

Remy's diary in Tiger, Tiger details his relationship with Arno, the stoic, older owner of a tavern where gay men regularly convene. At first it seems like the two only had a one-night stand but it's revealed that Remy saw Arno several times, with Arno becoming a confidant that the still-closeted Remy frequently voiced his troubles to, such as his increasing infatuation with Jamis. Arno is also the one who introduces the idea of Maldoror as a sort of patron god to people "rejected by the world" (the implication being that this includes gay people) as a way to comfort Remy. | |

Shonen Note: Boy Soprano, Yuhki Kamatani's pre-Dreams work, has Minoru Aoi, a former soprano who becomes a sort of mentor for the choir as a whole. Minoru is initially introduced as Yutaka's big brother, but one day Mito runs into them wearing a skirt. Upon being questioned about it, Minoru displays a casual, almost fluid relationship to gender. Mito, likewise, is initially introduced as a girl but is uncomfortable with "feminine" things and longs for a deeper voice, hinting him to possibly be a closeted transgender boy. Mito forms a sort of Intergenerational Friendship with Minoru and later is inspired by them to try dressing in a way more comfortable to him. | |

In given Uenoyama has a heart-to-heart with his college-aged bandmate Akihiko, during which it comes out that he's crushing on their newest bandmate, Mafuyu. Uenoyama gets uncharacteristically vulnerable, asking Akihiko if he thinks there's something wrong with him. Akihiko calmly reassures him that he's fine, going as far to reveal that he's been with men himself, turning it around and pointing out that Uenoyama won't say there's something wrong with him. | |

Age-inverted in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Middle-aged Daryl only realizes he's bisexual when he realizes he's attracted to the much younger White Josh, who has been out since he was twelve. Despite being younger, White Josh serves as Daryl's mentor thanks to his much more profound experience with being gay. | |

Bottoms: It's implied that PJ and Josie's shared childhood babysitter Rhodes, whom they describe as a "gay Yoda", is part of the reason they're both out-and-proud in high school. | |

Loveless, which is about its protagonist, Georgia, finding out that she is both asexual and aromantic, has a couple such situations: Sunil starts out being assigned as Georgia's "college parent". The fact that he's also asexual and is Platonic Life-Partners with an aromantic woman allows Georgia to get some proper information about both her orientations before she she fully realizes that they apply to her. Once the latter has happened, Sunil helps her navigate them. Georgia and the older Ellis end up having a mutual version going on. Ellis gives Georgia an idea of what's waiting for her in the next fifteen years of her life, while Georgia is the one to inform Ellis that what they are has a name and there are other people like them out there. |

Love Me For Who I Am has Satori Iwaoka, the owner of Café Question. Satori's only sibling is Tetsu, but she often acts like a Cool Big Sis to the whole staff of the café, and as a Transgender woman she's often able to empathize with their issues and offer advice and support. In particular, when Mogumo's presence in the first volume leads to a rift between the staff over their standard "I'm a guy dressed as a girl" introduction, she encourages all of them to share their point of view on the issue to come to a compromise. This eventually resolves in Mogumo being able to stay in the café without compromising their identity and helps Mei realize she was a closeted trans girl. | |
