An admirer (possibly abhorrent) is putting the moves on someone who clearly has other plans. They rebuff the other's advances by simply saying "Sorry, I'm gay", regardless of their true sexuality. This trope is meant to be gender-neutral but for some reason, "Sorry, I'm a lesbian" usually just doesn't work as well (not that "Sorry, I'm gay" works all of the time for men either). And saying "Sorry, I'm asexual" just gets confused stares at best, and at worst having to deal with the other person trying to "change their mind". A subtrope of Ignore the Fanservice. The opposite of Mistaken for Gay. Not to be confused with Faux Yay, which is a behavior, while this is just a quick way to halt the seduction in progress but one can lead to the other. A sub-trope of You're Not My Type. See also Incompatible Orientation, when the person is actually telling the truth, and Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?, when the person claims they're gay but is never seen showing attraction towards anybody of the same sex. Compare to All the Good Men Are Gay, Last Het Romance, and Dude, She's A Lesbian. Sister Trope to Seduction-Proof Marriage, which is when the character rebuffs the unwanted advances because they're in a committed relationship. This can serve as a Queer Establishing Moment if they're indeed telling the truth. Examples |

In a run on X-Men by Grant Morrison, Beast is approached by a woman who dumped him rather harshly a few issues previous. She seeks to get back together with him, and he rattles off a short list of reasons why he didn't want to, ending with "Also, I think I might be gay." This actually became a (sub)plot point for a few issues, with Beast eventually out-and-out saying to Cyclops that he only said it to make his ex feel bad. | |

On season 4 of Weeds, Nancy's former best friend Celia is spying on her for the cops. Nancy quickly claims that Celia is her girlfriend, who suspects Nancy of cheating on her. This convinces Guillermo both that Celia is not a spy and that Nancy is not on the market and he should stop pressing his luck. Later, when Nancy's love interest brings up the issue of her "girlfriend" Celia, Nancy smiles and says that it's easier to be friends with Guillermo when he thinks she's a lesbian. | |

The music video to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" plays like a typical, cutesy "Boy Meets Girl" narrative of the girl trying to win over the attention of her hunky next-door neighbor, but it ends on a twist where as she's to give him her number, he's seen giving his number to another man. The girl leaves quite miffed. | |

Hustle: In one episode, the target of a Bavarian Fire Drill comes on to Stacey. She replies "Sorry, I'm gay," which doesn't entirely dissuade the man she's talking to, who tries to find out if she and her fictitious partner would both be willing to- you know. Played with in another episode, where Danny gets rejected by a pretty hotel receptionist and decides that she must be a lesbian. At the end of the episode, it turns out that he's right. |

Pop star Ricky Martin, who came out of the closet as a gay man in 2010, has remarked that despite having publicly stated both that he's gay and that he is in a relationship with another man, women still proposition him. He mentions in his autobiography when he lost his virginity and how he found it to be meaningless, though he liked the girl. This could be just because it was awkward or maybe an early sign of being gay. |

The barista chases him up afterwards and demands to know why he's been avoiding her ever since, putting it to him that he "must" be gay because he talks and thinks like a woman.

Dorian also has a variation of this; if you flirt with him as a female Inquisitor, he does actually flirt back, believing it to be a joke between friends — he clarifies this once he's come out to you as being gay, however, putting a dampener on whatever romance the player may have thought was brewing. |

The Order of the Stick: Elan tried to get out of prison by tempting his guards with an illusion of a woman — only to find that one guard was married and the other gay. In a bonus comic from one of the books, Miko tries to attend dinner with two other female paladins to celebrate new years. Her overbearing personality gets on their nerves, and they claim that they are dating so that she will let them have some alone time. In an interesting twist, the two then ponder whether they will have to atone for their lie to keep their paladin powers, and one suggests that they could actually make out instead. Later on, they are seen in a restaurant doing just that. |

In Misfits, ineffectual Time Master Curtis accidentally gets caught in a "Groundhog Day" Loop and finds himself having to break up with Samantha numerous times. He makes various foolish excuses as he tries to find the least upsetting way of dumping her, and claiming to be gay is one of the first things he tries. It backfires massively, as Sam sees it as a huge betrayal that made their whole relationship a lie. | |

Sort of a weird inversion in Faking It, where in the pilot Liam chats up Karma, even though he thinks she's a lesbian, and she shows obvious interest in him even after they're "outed"...which only seems to attract Liam further. (Of course, she is, well, faking it.) | |

L in Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami uses this to get rid of Night Yagami who is trying to seduce him into giving up his real name. She then takes off her lipstick gets a magic genderbending tattoo that says "IM A DUDE", which turns her into a man, and then seduces him. However, she is still referred to as "she", wears a bra the whole time, and is presumably never turned back into a woman. This is never addressed. | |

The trope is employed with a twist in the episode "Bot Seeks Bot" of The Venture Brothers. A woman at a bar makes a pass at the man next to her, who engages her enthusiastically. Too enthusiastically: He gushes about her outfit, orders them both appletinis, and even does a wrist flip. She walks away disappointed. The irony is that the man is O.S.I. agent Shoreleave, who being thoroughly gay and Macho Camp acts like this all the time. The double irony is that he was undercover at a supervillain nightclub, so in effect, he preserved his cover by acting exactly like himself. | |

In one side-story, Maora, after taking up cross-dressing so that he and Maguri can marry, cheerfully tells him that now they can be together - to which Maguri says he's only interested in boys. Who look like boys. | |

In It Sucks to Be Weegie!, Link is Luigi's popular, attractive, and (at first) only best friend who has to fight off the ladies with a stick (while Luigi is ignored). He's shown on this page to use this trope as his excuse for not being flattered by Daisy's fawning over him, but other times he shows indications that he might have been telling the truth. In general, he doesn't care much for his female fan following, but there are specific examples like when Luigi begins to complain about being hit on by Samus whom he mistook for a guy since she was still in armor and Link thinks he's going to talk about "that incident in '93" which was "a really awkward time" for Link. | |

In an episode of Futurama a stereotypical musclebound beach bully picks on Fry while flirting with Leela. When Fry is indifferent, he explains that he's a professional beach bully whose job is to steal the girlfriends of weak-looking guys, and then go down in one punch to make the weak guy look tough and manly in front of his girlfriend. Fry says that he and Leela are not together, so the bully can date her if he wants. Leela is enthusiastically on board with dating the bully, but the bully turns her down because he's actually gay. | |

A good example would be in the "Wrestlemania" episode, where Sonic forces all of his love interests to fight for his affection. When Amy actually wins, Sonic admits he was only using the fight as a chance to entertain himself and didn't actually intend to honor the winner. | |

Inverted in the Modern Family episode "Treehouse". At a bar, Cameron (played by Eric Stonestreet, whose real-life heterosexuality made this more amusing) successfully bets his partner Mitchell and another gay friend that he can get an attractive woman at the bar to give him her phone number. More subverted than anything. When he hits it off amazingly well with the girl, he later freaks out over how to break it to her that he's actually gay, as he believes she's fallen in love with him. Turns out, she knew he was gay all along and didn't get why he was coming out to her - she just wanted a gay best friend. Though she does play along with the ruse for his sake so that he can still win his bet with Mitch. |

In Stranger Things, Steve is encouraged by Dustin to date to Robin, although Steve vehemently insists he does not like Robin. Despite this, Steve starts to warm up to Robin as they sneak in and out of the Russian lab under the Starcourt Mall. When Robin reveals that she sat behind him in a class in High School, Steve mistakes this for her confessing her feelings for him. In reality, she later adds she was jealous of him because he always stole the attention from Tammy Thompson, a girl she crushed on in the same class. | |

Dorian Electra spins the trope on its head with "Sorry Bro (I Love You)", whose male narrator is trying not to appear too close to his male friend, but is in fact (and very transparently) romantically attracted to him. In other words, instead of saying "Sorry, but I'm gay, therefore I can't be in a romantic relationship with you," they're saying "I'm sorry that I'm gay and I want to be in a romantic relationship with you, heterosexual male friend." | |

RWBY: Scars: Weiss does this upon being asked out by Cardin for the second time. He won't take "no" for an answer, so she tells him exactly why she hates guys like him who only see her as a Trophy Girlfriend and concludes with mentioning she's gay before slamming her door in his face. This gets Cardin angry. Later on, a boy flirts with Weiss at a party. She tries to dissuade him by telling him she's gay, but he isn't put off because, in his words, "there's a first time for everyone". Weiss gets him to back off when she yells at him for not even knowing that the party is a charity drive. |

Used later in the parent show Doctor Who where Bill Potts finds a place to live with other students, and one of the male ones fancies her. Bill lets him down politely because she's a lesbian, and he immediately apologizes. They both laugh it off, and it's a nice tension breaker before the creepy stuff starts back up. Bill has to do this again in a later episode during a trip back in time to Roman Britain when a legionary she meets starts flirting with her. When Bill tells him that she's only interested in women he accepts it easily enough as he's bisexual (which he suggests is the norm for Roman society) and one of his fellow soldiers is gay. |

After George accepts this gracefully, Helen then clarifies that she is a lesbian and that this person is a woman – which George then does not believe, given she had previously been married to a man, incorrectly assuming that she was lying to spare his feelings. | |

After two weeks of marriage, Charmise demands sex, and Quagmire tells her he's gay so he won't have to have sex with her. She grants him a no-fault divorce, but then catches Quagmire with heterosexual porn. Enraged, she calls off the divorce. Quagmire still insists that he's gay, and Charmise asks him to have sex with another man in front of her to prove it. Quagmire enlists Peter to "help" him, but both are repulsed by the idea. Charmise sees this, and grants Quagmire his divorce because she saw how far he was willing to go for it. In "Friends Without Benefits", Meg becomes obsessed with Kent Lastname, a jock in her school. Eventually, she decides to just ask him on a date and is over the moon when he accepts. He drops this on her when she tries to kiss him when he takes her home (her invitation to the movies was quite ambiguous, and he got the impression that she knew he was gay, and that she meant 'as friends'). And he has a crush on Chris. That girl can't catch a break. Earlier, in "Barely Legal", Brian tries to get out of a date with Meg by claiming that he's gay. |

A Horrible World of Plot Holes and Spelling Errors: When dealing with the unpleasant Parody Sue Milk, Wakko suggests to Yakko that he try using this trope. Yakko is quick to point out that it would fail because he actually flirted with Milk before realizing she was a Sue. | |

How I Met Your Mother: While on a girls' night out, all of the men in the bar are hitting on Robin while completely ignoring Lily. She soon figures out that it's because of her engagement ring and takes it off (at Marshall's suggestion, no less!) to see how many men she can attract. When one guy finally approaches her, she suddenly becomes horrified at her "infidelity", putting the ring back on and rushing into an explanation of why she took it off—only for the guy to cut her off with, "Yeah, I'm gay. I just came by to let you know you sat on a grape." | |

In The Rage: Carrie 2, Mark attempts to bribe Rachel in order to get his hands on the pictures Rachel has of him with Lisa (who had just killed herself due to Mark's Jerk Jock antics), first with money and then with sex. Rachel responds to the latter by falsely claiming "I'm a dyke." This bites Rachel in the ass when Mark later jokes, right to Rachel's face, that Jesse scored a "conversion" when he slept with her... which promptly bites Mark in the ass when this pushes Rachel to her Rage Breaking Point, unleashing a telekinetic Roaring Rampage of Revenge. | |
