A comedy plot line in which a character wrongly believes another character to be gay, either because of misinformation received or because of the supposedly gay character's own misinterpreted words and actions, usually an invocation of Gender Nonconforming Equals Gay. Once the character is taken to be a homosexual, all his words and actions become laden with innuendo and further misunderstandings, and humor ensues. This can often be caused with supernatural secrets, such as superpowers or lycanthropy, which aren't immediately obvious, or various other embarrassing secrets. Almost inevitable for Heterosexual Life-Partners. This plot may be the first time we've heard them explicitly say they're not gay (whether we believe them or not is another matter). A slight subversion occurs when a character is suspected of being gay and takes this as a compliment, since that person deeply sympathizes with gay people. For such characters to qualify, they have to be mistakenly assumed to be homosexual, even if the G, H, and L words are not used. However, these characters don't need to retaliate or tell those who have mistaken them that they aren't gay as such characters can easily disprove these mistakes through other means such as a revelation of a straight relationship. See also Mistaken for Index. When the character probably is gay but is in denial, they're in the Transparent Closet. When the Character is heterosexual but acts like the Camp Gay stereotype they're Camp Straight. Due to the common belief that All Men Are Perverts and A Man Is Always Eager, any male character who isn't shown to jump at the chance to have sex with a woman will be mistaken for gay (if not actually gay) by the audience and possibly by the other characters as well (especially male characters). If they don’t want to be mistaken for homophobes, they might add the disclaimer Not That There's Anything Wrong with That, with varying degrees of success. |

In Faris' recruitment event in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, Zidane confuses the others by flirting with "him" as much as he does with any of the female party members. Cloud speculates that Zidane has "switched sides" until Faris admits that she's a woman—which Zidane had already realized when he and Bartz were giving her first aid. | |

The French movie The Closet subverts this; when a photoshopped picture of the main character at a very gay bar in a very gay outfit shows up at his office, he is seen as gay by everyone despite no outward mannerism changes. This is intentional; the photo is sent by his neighbor in an attempt to use discrimination fears to avoid the impending layoff of the main character. | |

The Season 3 finale of BoJack Horseman has Todd Chavez's ex-girlfriend, Emily, point-blank ask him if he's gay, reassuring him that it's fine if he is. Genuinely surprised, Todd immediately says he's not, but then adds that he doesn't think he's straight either, and then concluding that he doesn't think he's "anything". Emily tells Todd that that's okay too. | |

Runaways: The relationship between Nico and Karolina was complicated by Karolina's crush on Nico. When Nico swore off men after learning that her boyfriend Alex Wilder was The Mole who had betrayed them Karolina believed that Nico had decided to "switch" and subsequently attempted to kiss her and was gently rebuffed. The resulting conversation is extraordinarily awkward as Karolina wonders if the problem is that she is going "too fast," whereas Nico had never realized that Karolina was in love with her in the first place. The Ship Tease between the two characters would be a regular occurrence through the remainder of the original series' run, and they eventually got together in the revived series. | |

The Simpsons: In "Last Exit to Springfield", Homer mistakenly thinks that Mr. Burns' attempts at negotiating with him and offering a bribe are Burns coming on to him. He storms off, saying although he's curious about it, he doesn't go for these "back-door shenanigans". In "Lisa's Date with Density", Lisa asks Milhouse to pass Nelson her note due to being too nervous to ask him out. During class, Milhouse discreetly passes the note on to Nelson, which reads, "Guess who likes you". Nelson turns back and sees Milhouse waving to him from the back row. Cue off-screen beating and Milhouse being carried to the ambulance via stretcher. In "Homer's Phobia", Homer ends up overreacting to many small silly things Bart is doing (such as wearing a Hawaiian shirt, or putting on a ladies' wig and singing the Shoop Shoop song) and taking it to mean that contact with an openly gay shopkeeper (played by John Waters) is making Bart "turn gay". After several attempts to make Bart "man up", Homer gives up and says that he's okay with whatever Bart wants to be. When Lisa finally explains it to him, Bart's reaction is "He thinks I'm gay?!" In "Gorgeous Grampa", Marge thinks Abe is gay after finding his old wrestling wig in his room, and starts trying to set him up on dates with men. In "Black-Eyed, Please", after Bart causes Lisa's Sadist Teacher to quit, Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers chase her out to her car to beg her to stay. She just calls them "the worst-dressed gay men I've ever met!" before driving off. Played for laughs in another episode, where in an attempt at copying Bart's 'El Barto', Homer (helping build homes for the homeless) paints 'El Homo' on a wall in big letters. Cue a man coming up to him and saying something along the lines of "I wish I had your courage!". Homer then realises what he's painted, and panicking, hastily begins to paint over it. The trope was often averted with Smithers in earlier seasons, during his conversations with Mr. Burns. Happens often with Lenny and Carl. Homer once said he thought Sideshow Bob was "out loud and proud". Mr. Burns is also subject to this when he's trying to improve his image by going on a Howard Stern knock-off radio show, coupled with a heavy dose of Have a Gay Old Time. |

In the movie In & Out, Kevin Kline's character is "outed" as a joke by a former student of his, and spends most of the movie denying that he is gay. The trope is ultimately subverted when it turns out he really is gay. | |

Grand Theft Auto V: When Michael and Trevor show up at Tracey's audition for Fame and Shame, Lazlow thinks the two are her two dads. The Triads mistake Michael and Trevor for a gay couple due to their being seen alone together during various parts of the story. When Franklin shows up, they begin to wonder if he's their other boyfriend or adopted son? After he starts hanging out with Michael, it's mentioned that some people back in the hood thought that Franklin had been whoring himself out as a rent-boy to rich white guys in Vinewood. |

Time Squad: This happens to Buck Tuddrussel at least twice in the series. He has had a lot of blatant subtext with Camp Gay robot Larry 3000. The subtext is so thick that other characters think that theres something going on between them. Tudrussel and Larry have been mistaken for ancouple engaged to be married by Albert Einstein, who refers to Larry as "the missus" and then Dr. Sigmund Freud approached Tuddrussel and Larry's "relationship" like he would towards a married couple. Tuddrussel has shown attraction towards multiple women in the show though. | |

The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden has frequently been mistaken for his maternal half-brother Thomas Raith's lover, to Harry's initial dismay and Thomas' great amusement. Harry, who mostly finds it exasperating, later uses this to his advantage once when caught snooping in Thomas' apartment, something that works like a charm on the homophobic security guard (the young female cop is more suspicious, but Mouse, Harry's entirely sapient Big Friendly Dog, is ample distraction). It doesn't help when word gets to the SI division in .005 seconds. The root of this is in a case similar to the one of the film examples above, Thomas, when he gets a 'real job' as a hair dresser, deliberately poses as a flamboyantly gay European because there is no such thing as a 'good, high class, straight American' hairdresser. Also, it helps to prevent any of his clients from trying to make a move on him, as Thomas is an incubus and is trying to avoid any Accidental Pornomancer shenanigans. The first time that medical examiner Waldo Butters meets Thomas, he immediately thinks Harry and Thomas are a couple—and this is before the events in the first example. Harry tries to convince Butters otherwise. It doesn't work, thanks to Thomas, though Butters does eventually figure it out. |

Naturally, the one answering the door turns out to be her giant, overprotective elephant brother who throws a massive tantrum when he sees the contents of the letter. He only calms down when he mistakenly assumes that Heffer is the mailman the letter is adressed to. | |

King of the Hill: Bill Dauterive spends an episode purposely being mistaken for gay much like one of the examples above, as the trendy salon he is hired by only employs women and gay men, thinking straight men simply don't have what it takes to be good hairstylists. He blows his cover when an extremely attractive female customer flirts heavily with him and says it's a shame he's gay, and he just can't resist "coming out" to her. She immediately becomes disgusted with him (and herself, for letting a straight man style her hair) and outs him to the whole salon, getting him fired. Dale thinks that John Redcorn is gay. The same John Redcorn that his wife has been sleeping with behind his back for over 10 years, and is very obviously the real father of his son. In fact, this actually started when Redcorn was about to confess to the affair out of guilt but was stopped from doing so by Hank. And Peggy's hairdresser from "Good Bye Normal Jeans": everything about him from the way he acted and dressed just screamed Camp Gay, but as it turns out, to Peggy's and the viewers' surprise, he has a wife and child. Possibly he was deliberately dialing it up for the same reasons Bill did. In the episode "My Own Private Rodeo", Hank tries to help Dale mend fences with his estranged father Bug, who is, in fact, a gay rodeo rider; when Hank shows up at the Rodeo, Bug jumps to conclusions: Hank spent much of the early seasons worried about Bobby possibly being gay especially when he took up modeling, this fear was put to rest in "Naked Ambition" when Kahn informs him that he caught Bobby and Connie half naked together, after Kahn leaves Hank laughs and breathes a sigh of relief. Later in the episode after Khan has erected a giant fence between their houses, Hank lets Bobby borrow a ladder so he and Connie can kiss. In the "I'm With Cupid" episode there's a Valentine tradition of girls giving carnations to the boys they like. Bobby gets two, so he lends them to his best friend Joseph, since it'll make the latter seem more desirable to a crush he has. The plan works, and Joseph gives Bobby his carnations back while thanking him profusely and calling him an awesome friend... only for Dooley to walk by at that exact moment. |

However, Nick (the only one of the main trio who doesn't get laid regularly) is happy to go along with it when he finds out that Julia regularly tries to seduce gay men who come to the meetings with the hopes of "de-gay-ing" them, and he does indeed manage to get laid with her. | |

In My Favorite Wife Cary Grant's character Nick is mistaken for gay after he refuses to sleep with his second wife on their wedding night because his first wife has just returned from the (presumed) dead. Since the movie was made in 1940, they had to do the whole mistaken for gay subplot without ever saying the word "gay" or "homosexual" (in fact, they had to make do without any direct reference to sex of any kind). It's still surprisingly clear, especially when a therapist the (second) wife hired apparently finds Nick trying on a dress. | |

21st Century Serial Killer: Early in the movie, Aaron mentions to his female coworker at the post office that Erin isn't "doing it" for him. After a night out with Charles, in which Aaron couldn't bring himself to kill anyone, to Charles' annoyance, the female coworker has a very different idea of what Aaron meant. | |

Fitz and Lord Golden (a.k.a. the Fool) in the Tawny Man trilogy. More of a Played for Drama example, as Fitz is deeply uncomfortable with this and at least a little bit homophobic. It doesn't help that the Fool describes himself as being in love with Fitz, though he also states that his feelings are not sexual. More accurately, the Fool's feelings are not necessarily sexual. He tells Fitz that he 'puts no limits' on his feelings, but he knows Fitz isn't interested and therefore it wasn't a conversation that ever needed to happen. | |

The Order of the Stick: Nale, disguised as Elan, worries about this when Vaarsuvius catches him and a male police officer (actually a shapeshifted Sabine) snogging passionately. However, given that V rarely notices or even understands gender, they probably didn't think much about the police officer's sex, and was more concerned with him not being Haley. Tsukiko thinks she is mistaken for bi due to misinterpreting the Monster In The Darkness's comments that she "does both" (actually referring to doing both Arcane and Divine magic). Earlier, on Elan and Nale's first meeting, Nale's comments on Elan's handsomeness (or rather, his own handsomeness) lead Elan to ask "Are—are you hitting on me? Because whatever you heard about what happened at summer camp—" |

Metal Gear: Briefly in Metal Gear Solid, in the long cutscene when Snake and Otacon first meet. Snake is checking whether or not Otacon is suffering from FOX-DIE. Otacon just assumes Snake is coming on to him. Later in the scene, he interprets Snake's confusion over what he means by how Meryl, despite being dressed as a soldier, is 'still all woman' as Snake being "dense", although this is a possible subversion because what Otacon actually means is that Meryl still has to use the ladies' bathroom. In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, if you take pictures of the Vulcan Raven doll or one of the male pinups and send them to Otacon at the end of the Tanker chapter, he will question Snake's sexuality. |

Persona 4: This is one of Kanji's issues, though his sexuality is kind of a point of contention in the fandom as well. Most of his character arc deals with his insecurities about his more feminine hobbies and him being terrified that people will reject him for it, which causes his Shadow to manifest as a Camp Gay parody of himself. The fact that his semi-canon pairing is with a Bifauxnen tomboy doesn't really clear up matters. Word of God is that this was done intentionally. For a brief moment Kanji makes this mistake about Yukiko when she tells him about her own experiences of having to confront her shadow. In the Golden Updated Re-release, during the trip before the Bonus Dungeon if you get caught in the snowstorm with the other guys, you all huddle up in the cabin for warmth and the girls get the wrong idea when they come to check up on you. Rise doesn't take it well before the misunderstanding is cleared up. She does it again in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth if Yu picks a guy in the Group Date Wedding. |

American Dad!: In an episode, Terry has to fly under the gaydar to keep his bigoted father from finding out he's gay; in the process of pretending, he claims Francine is his girlfriend and Greg (his actual partner) and Stan are "the homos from across the street". Terry's dad goes right along with this despite Stan's absolute lack of performance (he sees Stan wolf-whistle an attractive woman and snarks "Yeah, whistle a showtune, you fairy!"). There was also that time Stan created his own theatrical one-man show about Abraham Lincoln and his fictional bodyguard played by Stan. It's a hit because of all the gay subtext Stan doesn't seem to notice. |

TwoKinds has Keith and Natani. It gets confusing because Natani considers herself male but is in fact not. Natani is actually two people sharing two bodies as part of a medical procedure to keep them alive, one male and one female. So whether it's really a 'mistake' or not is something the characters themselves aren't sure of because no one has a word or customs for defining the gender of a binary being, though they're usually offended anyway, on principle. | |

Marc himself almost thinks he's that afterwards for a while, until an encounter with a gay man who loves "converting" straight men definitely convinces him that he's straight. | |

The Children's Hour, and the source play, is about two teachers who are sabotaged by a student when she starts a rumor that they're in a gay love affair. Given that this is the early 20th century it's not taken lightly. Parents remove all the kids from the school, they lose a law-suit against the child's grandmother which causes them to become public disgraces around America, their reputation is ruined, and one of their fiancées dumps them since he believed the lie. The twist ending is, as implied multiple times in the film, that Martha was really gay. Either way she tragically commits suicide. | |

One of the comedic subplots of Bend It Like Beckham concerned Jules's mother being convinced her tomboyish daughter was a lesbian and her best friend, Jess, was her girlfriend. This is established by having her overhear Innocent Innuendos with incredible serendipity. Probably the most notable moment is when she starts coming up the stairs towards her daughter's room, where she's speaking with Jess about her relationship with the football team's coach - This is probably a nod the original script, in which Jess and Jules were actually going to be outright lovers (before Chadha decided that that would be just too alien for a mainstream audience on top of Jess' Indian culture). It's not the only such surviving artifact of that plot. And played both ways, as Jules' non-traditional interests and Gender-Blender Name cause Jess' family to think she's a boyfriend from her description. |

In Batman and Harley Quinn, Nightwing gets a Raging Stiffie while tied up and in the presence of an underwear clad Harley. Amused, Harley says she's surprised because she had always assumed he and Batman were a couple. Shocked, Nightwing says that is definitely not true, and he and Harley have sex. | |

Noob: It plays around with that trope due to having a cast including a Yaoi Fangirl and an Effeminate Misogynistic Guy who happens to be a very dedicated Hero-Worshipper. Only the webseries gave a somewhat definitive answer to the situation, with the guy affirming that he's being a Celibate Hero (and claiming to avoid relationships with women), but the very same episode showed that he and the "hero" in question are on a much more friendly basis than they used to be. Later, upon witnessing one of the consequences of that friendship, the girl's reaction was basically "I can't picture this happening unless these two slept together at some point.". The actual situation hence seems closer to The Not-Love Interest. Its Spin-Off Neogicia has a female protagonist who shares a room and is Heterosexual Life-Partners with an openly lesbian woman that currently does not have a girlfriend and is the most vocal of the two concerning how close they are to each other. The perfect recipe for making people that don't know them personally misread the situation. The protagonist herself has very heterosexual crush... on the emperor of her faction, which gives her plenty of pre-existing competition. |

In Alexis Carew: HMS Nightingale, Alexis' first officer Midshipman Villar is attracted to Marie, a single mother Alexis rescued from Giron in The Little Ships, but Villar walked in on them sleeping in Alexis' bed on the way to drop Marie off with Alexis' grandfather. Once he finally manages to work around to saying what he thought, Alexis bursts out laughing and explains that no, both of them are straight and they only slept in the same bed because installing a second bunk in the captain's quarters wasn't practical for either of them (Marie had to be able to get up in the middle of the night to deal with her baby, and Alexis is too short to comfortably climb to an upper bunk). | |

During a later conversation with one of the townspeople, Bernie asks if it's possible for someone to snap under duress and do something terrible that they couldn't possibly have done under normal circumstances. He's covertly referring to killing Marjorie, but the woman he's talking to thinks he's trying to confess to being gay. | |

In Far Cry 4, Pagan Min mentions that people often make this mistake about him, since he is very flamboyant and wears a bright pink paisley suit (described in-game as making him look like a "metrosexual pimp") but is by all indications straight, having only ever loved one woman. Apparently he chose the style to honor his British mother and annoy his Triad crime lord father. He personally has no problems with homosexuality and apparently accepts them in his Royal Army. There's some Real Life subtext to this: The reveal of Min's character design drew complaints online, as some commenters complained about Ubisoft using the old Depraved Homosexual villain cliché in 2014. Thus, Min's remarks about people assuming he's gay just because he wears a pink suit can be seen as a Take That, Critics! to the complainers. |

In an early episode of Red vs. Blue, Church gets this from Caboose after trying to explain that the Freelancer the Blues hired is actually his girlfriend after her voice-changer fails. Caboose mistakenly still thinks Tex is a guy and that Church is gay, leading Church to respond with "Yeah, that's right. I'm a gay robot". | |

This appears in Snakes on a Plane, in which the effeminate, comic-relief air steward states early on that he can't wait to see his girlfriend, resulting in disbelieving remarks from his colleagues. At the end of the film, he is reunited with his girlfriend who turns out to be both real and highly attractive (and also apparently every bit as bubble-headed as he is), while the rest of the characters express their surprise. | |

Daria: Kevin and Mack were briefly mistaken for a couple while attending a bridal expo together. They were actually there to see their respective girlfriends in a fashion show. Played for Drama in "Is It Fall Yet?" when Jane befriends Alison. Alison gets Jane drunk (note that Jane is too young to drink) and comes on to her, claiming that she never hits on straight chicks. Jane briefly begins to question her own sexuality, but eventually realizes that Alison was trying to do just that to help seduce her. Briefly in "Lane Miserables" when Jake answers the front door assuming it's one of Quinn's dates and sees a woman at the door. |

This leads the butcher to believe that Bob keeps coming back to flirt with him, at first offering to set him up with a friend but he eventually gets worn down by Bob and offers to go on a date or sleep with him. Meanwhile, Bob is flustered at being flirted with at all, and continually insists he just wants to get a turkey and go home. However, on Bob's last visit it's heavily implied that the butcher wasn't too far off in his assumptions... | |

Good Omens: Happens to Aziraphale and Crowley several times, but mostly to Aziraphale who apparently gives people the impression that he is "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide." Not to mention the fact that Crowley seems to have a habit of calling Aziraphale "angel" with other (human) people present, while Aziraphale calls Crowley "dear" on a regular basis. The most notable incident being when Crowley and Aziraphale give Anathema Device a lift in Crowley's Bentley; she worries about whether or not she'll need to use her bread knife to protect herself, but when Crowley calls Aziraphale "angel," she concludes that she hadn't been in danger after all. The most humorous possibly being when a little girl tells Aziraphale, "You are rubbish. And probably a faggot."Also happens in fanfiction, when fics label Aziraphale/Crowley as slash. The book explicitly states that all angels are sexless by default unless they really want to make an effort and Neil Gaiman has said that while Aziraphale and Crowley were written as having a "love story" in the TV adaptation, them being an angel and a demon means that they don't subscribe to the same gender or sexuality norms that humans do. A briefer earlier example is Mr Tyler's reaction to Sister Mary Loquacious and another nun winking at each other (in fact, to indicate that everything is going as planned, which it isn't, but they don't know that). He saw a Ken Russell film about nuns once. |

Happens quite a few times in The Venture Bros. There's the doctor mistaking Brock for Rusty's partner, the hicks calling Dr. Orpheus gay in the diner, Rusty accusing Dr. Orpheus of trying to seduce him... Pete White gets this the most, because of his eccentric style, his lucky pink shirt, and because he rooms with Billy Whelan. In Every Which Way But Zeus, he's called out by, of all people, Shoreleave. When Billy's mother is introduced, Billy even has to confess to Pete that he told her they were gay—it was just easier than trying to explain two straight men living together. |

In Loverboy (1989), Randy is a pizza delivery boy who ends up hooking up with a rich middle-aged Italian woman named Alex. She basically becomes his Sugar Momma. When Randy's father reads some of the letters Alex sends him and notices Randy receiving expensive gifts brought by a guy, he assumes, to his horror, that Randy is gay (Alex being a gender-neutral name). Near the end of the movie, this saves Randy from a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown by three men he cuckolded when one of them (who turns out to be a friend of his father's) remembers Randy's father telling him about his son. | |

Briefly in Metal Gear Solid, in the long cutscene when Snake and Otacon first meet. Snake is checking whether or not Otacon is suffering from FOX-DIE. Otacon just assumes Snake is coming on to him. Later in the scene, he interprets Snake's confusion over what he means by how Meryl, despite being dressed as a soldier, is 'still all woman' as Snake being "dense", although this is a possible subversion because what Otacon actually means is that Meryl still has to use the ladies' bathroom. | |

In Puyo Puyo, Schezo's tendency to completely mess up his speech leads to him being mistaken for being gay on at least three occasions. It's implied by Rulue in SUN, after Schezo was Not Distracted by the Sexy. She claims Schezo was doing...some unspeakable things that she doesn't elaborate on. In 15th Anniversary, Lemres mistakes Schezo's desire for his power as flirting and tries to turn him down gently. In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2's Chapter 6, he mangles one of his lines and accidentally claims that muscular bodies satisfy him. Even when he tries to correct himself, no one buys it. |

This was an ongoing subplot in Avalon, especially the first year. Early on, Joe tells Ceilidh that her new friend Phoebe is gay (a rumor started by a bitter ex-boyfriend); the amount of time the two spend together leads to a rumor that Ceilidh is also a lesbian, which is compounded when her probing for a definite answer, without being too direct, makes Phoebe think so as well. The "lesbian" subplot is essentially forgotten after the story's halfway mark, until the undrawn ending, in the synopsis of which Phoebe confesses her love for Ceilidh, who in the next "scene" ambiguously mentions "new relationships". | |

The film Clue features Mr. Green, whose blackmail-worthy secret is that he's gay. In the third ending, the final line of the film is him declaring he's going to go home and "sleep with [his] wife." (He was actually an undercover agent, and pretended to be homosexual to protect his family. Or, this being Hoover's FBI, he was a homosexual who pretended to be a heterosexual pretending to be a homosexual. Interpretations vary.) | |

In an optional scene in Chapter 9 of Rakenzarn Tales, Kyuu and Kite happen to run into each other and decide to go get some lunch. As it would happen, some of the Negima girls are at another table in the same cafe, see them together and jump to this conclusion, thinking it was a Rescue Romance deal. Eventually, one of the girls loses her patience and yells at the guys to start making out, much to their confusion. | |

In Sextette, Sir Michael Barrington (Timothy Dalton) is confused by the media of being gay, and Barrington constantly reinforces this rumor by naively declaring such lines as "Well, yes, I would say so. Always gay, never depressed. Happy and gay. That's my motto", "It's queer to me," he's a "man's man" and that as a coxswain he "coxed the entire crew." | |

Plan B manages to be a combination of both this and Gay Bravado. Bruno catches Pablo, the boyfriend of his ex Laura, checking him out openly at the gym, which leads him to believe that Pablo is bisexual and pretend to be gay/bi-curious himself to seduce Pablo away from Laura so that he can hook back up with her. However, it turns out that Pablo isn't actually bi and was just checking out Bruno because he looked uncannily like a man in a certain photo of Laura's, and is clearly unsure of what to think about his new friend's subtle and not-so-subtle "flirting" with him. Then all of this is subverted/deconstructed/zigzagged/something when Pablo and Bruno both realize that they've genuinely fallen in love with each other nonetheless. | |

El Goonish Shive: Tedd gets this at times from the football players that are shown. The Jerk Jock gives him a hard time; the other toes a more Politically Correct line. Neither really help Tedd feel better. At least neither know of his favourite hobby. In addition, George assumed that Justin and Elliot were a couple. This is not the case, though Justin certainly wishes it was. This trope is the natural assumption about the extremely effeminate Noah, on the part of readers and characters, resulting in mild surprise/awkwardness when he talks about his girlfriend. Of course, Noah also freely admits that he can make straight men see rainbows. After Elliot and Sarah's breakup, and the fact that they're still friends, is mentioned on Elliot's web show, rumors start to circulate to the effect of Elliot being gay. Interestingly, Elliot doesn't give a damn when he finds out, merely saying "Eh, let them think what they want." In the Magic tournament storyline, Tedd assumes his opponent Larry is gay, based on the reasonable grounds that Larry is blatantly hitting on him. Nope, Tedd's just that girly. Catalina thinks that Susan's misandry means she might be playing for the ladies' team, and asks her out. Susan's a little saddened to turn her down. While at the time Susan thinks the incompatible orientation is that she's straight, she later is prompted to consider what she actually is attracted to and finds that she can find men sexy, women sexy, the thought of men and women (or men and men, or women and women) doing things together sexy, but finds the thought of herself doing things with men or women an immediate turn-off. |

Nikki makes a new friend in one episode and there is strong evidence that the girl has a crush on Nikki. Nikki tries to ask her if she is gay, awkwardly stumbling over her words in an effort to avoid offending her. The girl thinks Nikki is trying to ask her out, and declines because she already has a girlfriend. |

Greg figures that they could warm their clothes in the dryer in the basement, but since they’re naked otherwise, they decide to use some of Gramma's clothes. Cue Greg's mom walking in on them. Initially, it seems that she’s in Tranquil Fury that they went into Gramma's house without permission to do shenanigans, but she later sits down with Greg to tell him that it's okay for boys to "play pretend" and that it's part of growing up. Greg doesn't understand what she means, but it's obvious to older readers what she was thinking. | |

From the angle the conductor viewed them from, it looked like they were feeling each other up — and it wasn't at all helped by their declarations of "touch my breasts."

She, well, interprets the scene as any Yaoi Fangirl would. The conversation doesn't help - when she asks if she's interrupting, Kyousuke says that she somewhat is, and then asks her to join. At first she's very pleased by it all, and even thanks Riki at being able to see something so beautiful, but realises on her own that she misinterpreted the scene. All this time, neither Riki nor Kyousuke ever figures out what she was thinking. | |

Etra chan saw it!: Tokusa ate the last piece of Kuroki's fried chicken, which caused the latter to pull a prank on the former as revenge. Kuroki baked some cupcakes and slipped them inside Tokusa's desk during Valentine's Day. Tokusa became nervous when he found out since the school they studied in was an all-boys school. After a while, Kuroki told Tokusa about the prank and demanded him to apologize for eating his fried chicken, Tokusa then asked him to make more cupcakes for him. The next day, Kuroki discovered that his classmates spread a rumor about him and Tokusa being a gay couple. Akamatsu's co-workers think he was in a relationship with Hiiragi despite the fact that he was married to Karin. He was then called by his boss Katsura regarding the situation, he reveals that Hiiragi was telling him about Akamatsu being his boyfriend and he was playing with his feelings. Akamatsu and Katsura confront Hiiragi about his lies, as it turns out, he genuinely thought he and Akamatsu were dating. He became upset that Akamatsu went to vacation with his wife instead of him and he also slapped his hand when he attempted to molest him inside a crowded train. |

South Park: Butters is quite feminine and gentle, so even his mom thought he was gay and gambled on his sexuality with his dad. Butters' sexual orientation was also the entire point of "Cartman Sucks", in which he is sent to a Pray Away the Gay camp for being "bi-curious". In "My Future Self 'n Me", when Butters reveals to Stan that he's Professor Chaos, Stan assumes that Butters is coming out to him and reassures that he doesn't care if Butters is gay. This only causes Butters to be disappointed and wonder if he made the costume too flamboyant. One hilarious instance of this is someone assuming that Heterosexual Life-Partners Terrance and Phillip are gay. That someone is Phillip himself. In "Tonsil Trouble", Cartman gets AIDS from a botched blood transfusion and then passes it on to Kyle intentionally. Throughout the episode, people repeatedly assume that Cartman and Kyle are gay lovers (see the page quote) when they find out that they both have AIDS. Earlier, the doctor who diagnoses Kyle asks him repeatedly if he's absolutely sure he hasn't been having unprotected anal sex. Happens again in "Cartman Finds Love" between Cartman and Kyle. To keep Kyle from going out with the new girl for a few naïvely racist reasons, Cartman spreads the rumor that he and Kyle are (or at least were) dating. Funny enough, everyone seems to believe it pretty easily. In "Tweek x Craig", the entire town believes the two are a couple after the new Asian students make Yaoi art featuring them. Tweek and Craig fail to get people to stop shipping them together and they decide to go along with it after seeing how happy their "relationship" makes everybody. Interestingly, this actually ends up developing into a real gay relationship, as cemented in "Put it Down" two seasons later, in which Craig calls Tweek "babe" and "honey" even when there is nobody they know around and thus no need to hold up a charade. |

Near the beginning of The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, The Great Gazoo sees Fred and Barney lying on top of each other and thinks that they're mating (doesn't help that Gazoo's alien race has no females and they reproduce like amoebas). Talk about a gay old time! | |

In Sandra on the Rocks, teenage gamers Alex and Marie's post-workout exhaustion combined with their video game trash talk gives one online listener the impression that not only are the two of them getting it on (not that Marie would mind), but that Alex regularly has sex with guys as well.note This setting being as it is, that eventually comes true — but only quite a bit later. | |

Jonah Jameson mistakes Spider-Girl for Spider-Man and notes how Spider-Man suddenly appears more feminine, then starts to panic over how people will react to his attacks on Spider-Man if he is a minority. While not explicitly stated, it's implied that J. Jonah Jameson came to the conclusion that Spider-Man is gay. | |

In Kick-Ass, after Dave is beaten up and stabbed by thugs and ran over by a car, his classmates believe him to be gay, because he was found with no clothes on. After hearing this, Katie quickly takes an interest in him becoming her Gay BFF, Dave goes along with it to be close to her. This is a remnant from the comic, which went into more detail and revolved around the fact that he was repeatedly found with no clothes on in a bad part of town, which lead people to think he was working as an underage prostitute. | |

Doctor Strange: This happens to Doctor Strange in the miniseries Doctor Strange: The Oath, often enough to qualify as a running gag. First, random street toughs assume he and his friend and servant Wong are a gay couple, then Night Nurse seems to assume that Wong calling Stephen 'master' is sexual in nature (alluded to by her remark about his being unable to pass comment on 'other people's fetishes'). Then Reginald Pavlish, a would-be patient of Strange's in his last days as an arrogant young surgeon offers 'something else' to repay Strange, in what reads very nearly as an inverted Scarpia Ultimatum (Strange turns him down anyway.) The Night Nurse at least has a good excuse in that her first encounter with the pair involves Wong carrying a wounded Strange into her clinic, panicking and practically claiming he "is Strange's". The explanation for Strange getting shot - as a result of his quest to save Wong - does little to ease suspicions. |

Ace Attorney: In the second case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, you can either accuse Marvin Grossberg of his obvious connection with Redd White, or... If you show Larry a picture of Ron DeLite during the segment where he's scolding himself for being a womanizer, he'll assume that you're offering to hook the two of them up and will apologetically tell you that he can't switch orientations. When Apollo encounters Klavier for the first time, he can't help but be stunned by how closely he resembles Kristoph. Klavier misinterprets his staring. |

Bowser's Kingdom follows this trope an odd number of times, because Kamek is constantly calling Hal (and sometimes Jeff) gay: Episode 2: Jeff and Hal flashbacked the time they took flying lessons from Kamek. When it failed, Kamek said "What are you, gay?!" Hal got close to a squished Jeff so he can mourn for him. Jeff got revived and thought Hal was gay. When Hal spoke later in the episode, Jeff said "Shut up, gay face!" When Jeff was squished again and Hal was mourning for him again, Kamek passed say and said "See! I knew you were gay!" Episode 6: Hal was apparently leaving during his jobless period. A Mouser came by and took the sack he was carrying. Hal notices this, and said "He took my sack!". Kamek heard him and said "What are you, gay?!" When Jeff mentioned to Hal that Donkey Kong kept asking him to eat bananas, Hal said, "And they say I'm the gay one." Episode 10: During the scene of Hal explaining why there are no subtitles for the speakable characters from episodes 8 and on, someone was apparently fiddling with the subtitles. The subtitles eventually turned into "I secretly love Kamek." when Hal said "Sometimes I really, really hate this place." Kamek saw this and said "I knew you were gay!" The Movie: Not as close to the trope itself, but when Jeff and Hal (disguised as Mario and Luigi, respectively) were making there way inside Peach's palace, the Toad there said hi to them (he mistook them for Mario and Luigi), and blushed when he said hi to Hal (Luigi), and said "Ya know, I had a great time last night." Hal then asked "Are you insinuating that I'm a gay?" Episode 666: When Jeff was trying to tell Hal about the zombie invasion, Hal wouldn't listen until Jeff told him that the zombies called Hal gay. |

Fire Emblem: Awakening: Lon'qu has rampant gynophobia due to a female childhood friend being killed when he was unable to help her. As a result, he cannot stand being within a certain range of the female members of the army, and his quotes and reactions change when he's talking to one. In a DLC map, another party member, Vaike, asks him about it, and when Lon'qu refuses to talk, Vaike immediately assumes that Lon'qu is gay, assuring him that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Naturally, he gets verbally thrashed. This is also present in the Female Avatar's conversations with Flavia, who wants to offer her the chance to be her adopted sister, but phrases it in such a way that suggests it's a proposal of marriage. Avatar tries to explain she's not into women, and Flavia talks about how gender doesn't matter to her in such a way that it sounds like she's bisexual. It is eventually cleared up, but much Hilarity Ensues before then. |

In a deleted scene from Revenge of the Sith (kept in the novelization), Palpatine tries to worsen the growing wedge between Anakin and Obi-Wan by claiming Obi-Wan was seen leaving a certain senator's apartment at an unseemly hour. The obvious insinuation (that Obi-Wan is sleeping with Anakin's wife, Senator Padme Amidala) goes sailing over Anakin's head and he assumes Obi-Wan is sleeping with a different senator he knows (who's a guy). Palpatine wearily specifies that he meant Padme's apartment. | |

Upon returning they find that the nighttime clientele is rather seedier than the daytime patrons. While checking a booth the father is startled when a woman asks if he is looking for a naughty little girl. Flustered the father replies, "No! I'm looking for a naughty little boy!"

The Critic: Jay Sherman's boss thinks he's gay, and that Jay has a huge man-crush on him, despite Jay's repeated insistence that he's not gay. Then again, considering Jay's ex-wife compared his sex appeal to that of a dead mackerel, it probably wouldn't be that good anyway. In one episode, however, Duke does admit he knows Jay isn't actually gay. He just likes to give him a hard time. |

Bobwhite. Marlene does a brief internship with Jen, a director who's a big deal in the independent film circuit. They're a great match on the set. Then Jen gives Marlene a big kiss, only to realizes seconds later that Marlene didn't like her that way. (The real irony is that Marlene took this internship in the first place to get away from relationship drama.) | |

Adam (2019): Or rather, mistaken for trans. Adam gets hit on and picked up while at an LGBT+ club by a woman who's unaware that he's cisgender, thinking Adam's trans like most guys there. Later this also happens with another queer girl, Gillian, whom he dates. | |

Gravity Falls: In one episode, The Men in Black agents Powers and Trigger disguise themselves as a married couple during their investigation of the supernatural incidents occurring at Gravity Falls. They eventually drop the act, but bicker Like an Old Married Couple when they get into an argument on where Trigger left Powers' phone. Tambry walks in on the agents and then immediately walks out while telling them that she is "not even gonna ask" after seeing the agents bicker in a closet combined with the fact that Trigger's wearing a dress at the time. | |
