Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })LGBT characters are becoming more common on TV. However, they are still generally pretty young. This may be tied to the fact that characters over 50, whether gay, bisexual, straight, or asexual, rarely discuss (much less have) sex at all on television, as well as such people having grown up in a time very hostile to openly LGBT people. Obviously not at all Truth in Television, but slightly justified in that most people from older generations grew up in a time where the expectation to being straight was so unquestionable, that many gay people lived their lives pretending to be straight and/or suppressing any gay urges, and are just now beginning to come out of the closet. In this past of such strict taboo, Nobody-Is-Gay was the more straightforward assumption. So now, Nobody Over 50 Is Gay. Even Heteronormative Crusaders generally acknowledge that gay people of diverse age exist, but that they should Get Back in the Closet — only those more strictly isolated from this information (such as older generations in the past, or media-restrictive religious communities) may actually fail to fathom the existence of gay people in their midst. This trope even applies in gay media, due to a heavy focus on youth and conventional beauty. If older gays appear at all, it's mostly to mentor the younger heroes or lecherously chase after them. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It may be on its way to a Dead Horse Trope - it doesn't really apply in the United Kingdom, thanks to a lot of publicity from celebrities such as Stephen Fry and Elton John, and in the US, this trope is slowly fading too as openly gay celebs get older. (In the United States, there's also the fact that a LOT of LGBTQ+ people died in the AIDS crisis, but now there's treatments readily available and typically covered by health insurance.) In addition, the general increase of openly gay characters in TV and film has led to a greater diversity of gay characters, including both middle-aged and elderly gay couples. The one general exception to this rule is Immortality Bisexuality: Bisexual immortal characters who are extremely old — though played by young actors, and thus still largely fulfilling this trope. Also see Lesbian Vampire. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Since this trope is prominent, please only add notable exceptions. |

On Desperate Housewives, Lynette reconnects with one of her mother's ex-husbands. He comes out of the closet much to Lynette's surprise, as Lynette had simply blamed her mother for driving the only loving father she had away. Her stepfather (played by Richard Chamberlain, see below) also mentions having a lover who had been recently deceased but offers to be his ex-wife's caretaker out of friendship. | |

Frank Pickle on The Vicar of Dibley came out partway through the series as gay after forty years in the closet, and did so over the local radio show set up by the vicar. The only problem? Frank's normally so very, very dull that everyone in town turned off their radios as soon as he came on. He was thrilled with how accepting everyone was the next day. | |

The Simpsons An elderly man comes on to Grampa in one episode. In another episode, the rest of the family find a blond wig and a feather boa among Grampa's old things and jump to the conclusion that Abe has been gay all this time and has been hiding it because people of his generation were expected to be straight - just like he had hidden his black great-great-grandfather because people of his generation were supposedly racist - and encourage him to stop being ashamed. Abe gets very indignant and tells him that he's not gay, and never has been; the wig and the boa were part of his costume when he was a Gorgeous George-type professional wrestler in the 1950s. Mr. Largo is 53 and came out as gay in the season 22 episode "Flaming Moe". |

Grey's Anatomy has averted this at least twice. Keith David appeared in the first season as a patient with a failing liver who kept flirting with George, and an elderly lesbian couple was featured in "Almost Grown"(7x05). A more recent episode had an older gay married couple, one half was played by James Avery. Another episode had an older gay couple who had recently become a couple, one of the men had been in the closet and married to a woman for years. They plan to spend the rest of their lives together, but the patient dies. |

Roseanne's very conservative sixty-something mother eventually let her attraction to women slip out during Thanksgiving dinner, shocking everyone (including the gay couple she had been yelling at moments before). Afterwards she comes out and starts dating a woman. Of course, this was in the last season, which turned out to be actually just be a novel Roseanne was writing... Technically, this never happened. But it still kind of counts. |

In one episode of Casualty, Toby treats one half of an elderly gay couple (initially believing their cover story that they're "brothers-in-law"); there are hints of this trope at play though, as being told that they're actually a couple weirds him out enough that it puts the brakes on his romance with Ben and general Coming-Out Story. | |

In Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Captain Holt made detective in 1979, meaning that his character must be mid-fifties at least by 2013 (the year the series premiered; the actor playing him was fifty-one at the time). The fact that he's been openly gay since the 1980s and Happily Married for nearly as long are implied to be the reason it took him so long to get his own command after making detective, despite what was by all accounts a stellar career in his youth. | |

The U.S. version of Queer as Folk In the first season, after David asks Michael to move in with him, Mikey has mixed feelings about it, so David takes him to meet two seventy-something gay partners who met in World War II and have been together for over fifty years to show him that a long-term gay relationship can work. Michael's Uncle Vic is well into his fifties and he's openly gay. George Schickle, Emmett's love interest for season two, is over 70-years-old. |

In the Hurog duology, there is king Jakoven, who is known for taking young men (or boys) as lovers. He has completely grey hair at the beginning of the series, and is still gay some years afterwards. And would probably still be gay some years after that, but he's killed by a former "lover". Turns out people don't like being coerced into sex with an adult when they're just a frightened fifteen-year-old. | |

This is what supercharges Meow's determination in the group successfully getting out of the "Groundhog Day" Loop they're in at the time (with his acceptance phase of the resulting despair being to settle down with Katie). | |

Revolver Ocelot of the Metal Gear series, who's been carrying a torch for Big Boss since the 1960s. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots he notably grabs and kisses Old Snake during a fight. Of course, everyone is gay for Big Boss. For that matter, Big Boss himself is bisexual, according to Word of God. |

Ghost Whisperer when it was revealed that Eli's mother had a very long-term affair with her husband's business partner's wife, which they once hid by pretending she was having an affair with the husband. This comes out after Eli's father dies (the mother had died several years earlier); cue both ghosts haunting the couple out of anger (the husband) and fear of exposing the affair (the wife, because she had died during one of their rendezvous). | |

In Exalted, the Realm doesn't care about sexuality as long as you do your family duties and get an heir, so there are definitely a fair number of gay and bisexual nobles and other powerful people well past their 50s - especially since many of those powerful nobles are likely Exalted themselves, with lifespans measuring in centuries (or longer). A lot are still fairly young-looking, though, as Exaltation usually happens when one is in the prime of life, and keeps them from visibly aging until near the end. | |

These Words Are True and Faithful: "If you want to meet gay men over 50, just go to any public place and have David paged." The unnamed old man in the restaurant discusses gay history with Sam in a way that makes government in general and the police in particular look bad. Ernie, who is a police officer, is not amused and dismisses it as "ancient history." |

Lampshaded on Will & Grace, in the episode "Cop To It", when Jack (who was the host of a talk show on a gay-themed cable channel) received a letter from a closeted 16-year-old boy who lived in a small Ohio town, who wanted advice on how to come out. Jack went to Ohio to visit the boy in person, convinced that if he could get the boy to come out to his family on his show, he'd have all of the ingredients for a heartwarming Very Special Episode. When he got there, he realized that the "boy" was actually a 60-year-old, who was embarrassed that at his age he still hadn't worked up the courage to come out. Jack abandoned the project without any hesitation, convinced that no one in the audience could possibly relate to an older person, until Karen convinced him that a 60-year-old was just as deserving of his attention. (In a funny moment, he convinced the man to take the first step out of the closet by coming out to a stranger at a bowling alley - unaware that the stranger he chose was the man's son.) In a straight example, Michael Douglas guest-starred as a police detective who becomes attracted to Will while investigating the theft of his laptop. He takes Will to a gay nightclub, ostensibly as an undercover operation but really as a date because he finds it hard asking men out. And in another episode Will attracts the attention of a wealthy older man played by Hal Linden. Frequent guest character Leslie Beverly's age is unknown but he certainly appears to be over 50. |

In Full Metal Panic!, Gauron looks to be around 50, and is very gay for Sousuke. Apparently, even at that age, he has no problems talking about his sexual fantasies to Sousuke (who reacts like any normal teenager would, Squicking at Too Much Information). Of course, it's even more disturbing for him, since Gauron's fantasies involve him — or, more accurately, his corpse. | |

Orange Is the New Black presents Carrie 'Big Boo' Black, who is obviously fiftyish and being a promiscuous Butch Lesbian is her main characteristic. The trope is, however, still in play: most of the (numerous) gay characters are young and attractive, and all of the ladies of Boo's age and older are straight and/or celibate. Not to mention, despite there being many scenes of lesbian sex, Big Boo isn't actually shown in any — only occasionally hitting on attractive and uninterested fellow inmates. | |

As most of the cast are lesbians who, unlike some comic strip characters, age, this is naturally averted in Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For. Most of the regular characters are now pushing middle age, and Sydney had an ongoing affair with her former literature professor Madeleine who is probably in her 60s. | |

Possibly subverted by Mary Lillian "Moolah" Ellison and Mae Young, who lived together at Ellison's retreat in South Carolina for 16 years, the friendship ending only with Ellison's death in 2007. The only other person regularly at the house was a younger female wrestler whom the two older ones had trained. It can't be confirmed if Ellison and Young were in anything more than a platonic relationship, but given their hard-living, outspoken ways (both were infamous "bad girl" characters for the majority of their careers) and the Les Yay overtones that commonly swirl around the WWE Divas, it wouldn't be surprising. Both Ellison and Young were in their late sixties when Young came to live with Ellison. | |

Doctor Who: Amelia Rumsford and Vivian Fay in "The Stones of Blood" are heavily hinted to be a lesbian couple. Millington and Judson in "The Curse of Fenric" have Word of Gay from the writer of that serial. It's also hinted at in the novelisation. In "Gridlock", there is an elderly lesbian married couple. They are conspicuously treated as nothing to bat an eyelid about — except by the "old-fashioned" cat-man Thomas Kincaid Brannigan, who insists on referring to them as sisters. His embarrassment and prudishness is played for ironic laughs — Brannigan himself is a giant anthropomorphic cat, married to a human woman. With a brood of half-human children "played" by kittens. Talking kittens. Not to mention that they all live about 5 billion years in the future. "The End of Time" Part One sees the Doctor getting admired and hit on by a group of Wilf's elderly friends, including one of his male friends. |

Holby City has Berenice "Bernie" Wolfe and Serena Campbell, played by the over-50 Jemma Redgrave and Catherine Russell, respectively. Not only are both characters openly gay (or, in Serena's case, most likely bisexual), but the attraction between them is not downplayed. In the slightest. They get just as racy as any other couple on the show, and quite evidently are very attracted to each other not just emotionally but physically. | |

Blanche's little brother in The Golden Girls. It's never specified how old he actually is (Blanche never revealing her real age plus the show's generally loose time line doesn't help), but he's at least in his late 40's. Blanche once accidentally implied that Clayton was in his sixtiesnote She claimed that their father's shenanigans the night Clayton was born caused prohibition but quickly backtracked. Dorothy's friend Jean, who actually developed feelings for Rose. Since she and Dorothy went to college together, Jean would have been in her mid-fifties at the time. |

ER: John Mahoney guest-starred as a gay man whose lover was dying. The episode ended with him doing a drag act in a gay club. Another episode had an elderly lesbian couple being brought in. Thanks to laws at the time, Kerry was forced to acknowledge one woman's brother's (legally, her next of kin) wishes that she be put on a ventilator, despite her partner's insistence that she wouldn't have wanted that. |

Ed had an episode in which the title character discovered that elderly Charlie Hudson was gay, a secret Ed then had to keep from Charlie's family until the will was read. This lasted until Charlie's just-as-elderly boyfriend showed up to the funeral. | |

The Trials of Apollo has the ex-hunters Emmie and Josephine, who are a couple and noted to be old enough to have gray hair, subverting this trope. Josephine was an 1920s gangster, while Emmie was even older, being from the time of Ancient Greece. | |

On 2 Broke Girls, Caroline and Max go to the funeral of Caroline's old nanny and discover that the woman was a lesbian and had been in a committed relationship with another woman for many decades. Since the woman never liked her own family very much, she simply chose not to come out to them. Since her family was never interested in her life, they did not find out that she was openly gay until her lover showed up at the funeral. | |

Averted by Touhou Ibunshu's versions of Kaguya and Eirin, who have been partners before they even left the Moon (and in fact Lunarian intolerance factored into their decision to leave). At the time the fic starts focusing on them, they've been partners for well over a millennium. | |

Midsomer Murders, where it's not too uncommon for 60-80-year-olds who are pretending to be sisters to turn out to be a lesbian couple, and an aged, retried, and flamboyantly gay actor decided to chop off people's heads with a guillotine. | |

Sada Hinomoto in Hisone and Masotan was, and is, in love with Yae, a miko; though her age is a bit vague, they met exactly 73 years ago. Their interactions shown could be written off as Romantic Two-Girl Friendship, but a dream about her causes the dragon Sada is flying to freak out and reject her, something that was previously established to only happen because of romantic feelings. This is also a case of Bury Your Gays, though, because her love interest died when they were young as a sacrifice to appease an ancient dragon. | |

Chronicles of the Kencyrath: Lesbian relationships are very traditional among Highborn women. Adiraina is over 120 (Highborn are long-lived, but that's still old), lesbian or bi, and still in love with the late Kinzi. They were Schoolgirl Lesbians back in the day, and by the time Kinzi died, the were Little Old Lady Lesbians. | |

Frasier had an episode where Marty pretended to be gay and got hooked up with the uncle of one of Frasier's crushes. The uncle assumed that, like him, Martin didn't realize he was gay until after getting married and having children. Which is Truth in Television for many homosexuals of their generation. And there was the episode where Frasier himself ended up accidentally dating Patrick Stewart. |

The Birdcage, or La Cage aux Folles, the French movie that it was a remake of; both movies very prominently featured middle aged gay couples. The major plot point of the movie being of course that these older gay men understand very well the "expectation to be straight" of their son's prospective parents-in-law (even though they have been 'out' all their lives) and attempt to 'play it straight' for them. Armand deserves an additional mention for being a bi-curious 50+ gay man.note He identifies as gay, but has had sex with his ex-girlfriend, and nearly sleeps with her again in the French original. |

Saul Holden from Brothers and Sisters. He had a few beards in his time and still has a beard of the hair variety. Born in 1939, he was in the closet for most of his life, but is now out and recently joined a dating site for "gay men of a certain age". One of his former lovers from the 80s is still alive, though he has AIDS so he is no longer as sexually active. |
