noreallife Originally treated as a subversion of the standard gay stereotypes, the Straight Gay is a homosexual male or female character who has no camp mannerisms, Butch Lesbian tendencies, or obviously "gay" affectations. In the earliest cases, Straight Gays were mostly there for farcical reasons: perhaps as a misunderstanding in which a straight character ends up unwittingly inviting himself out on a "date" with a 'stealthy' gay man, or in which a homophobic character espouses his views to a stranger, only to find out that the person he's talking to is gay. Currently, the Straight Gay is Truth in Television, less of a narrative device than a character type. When still used as a plot point, it may allow other characters to realistically miss that a character is gay, or it may be so incidental to the plot (or controversial as a topic) that it's never actually mentioned on-screen. It's still used for cheap jokes, though. In some cases — especially Soap Operas — this may be because of the writers changing their minds about an originally heterosexual character. A lot of gay people object to the term itself (especially with the term Straight-Acting), arguing that gender presentation and sexual orientation are unrelated, and that the term is unnecessarily divisive. Gay men exhibiting masculine tendencies or preferring masculine hobbies isn't necessarily a problem; it's when it is used to vocally differentiate the individual from "those gays" that it becomes an issue. The trope itself isn't necessarily harmful, but applying it to real people can be. Due to these reasons, along with the growing LGBT representation in Western media, the trope is starting to fall into Discredited Trope terrority as such characters have been criticized as making gay or lesbian characters more palatable for straight audiences, especially if they aren't depicted with love interests. May be associated with Have I Mentioned I Am Gay? in cases where the writing isn't nuanced enough to support a gay character sans constant explanations. Arguably a Spear Counterpart to Lipstick Lesbian, though the "Chapstick" type (not particularly butch or femme) mentioned in its description fits more under this trope. Also compare Armored Closet Gay and The Whitest Black Guy. Manly Gay can overlap with Straight Gay depending on the context, but Manly Gay is more entangled with old stereotypes about gay men. Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple occurs when his lover is more feminine than him. See also Mistaken for Gay and Camp Straight. |

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony: Gay Tony. Yes, seriously. Were it not for his nickname and a couple of odd quirks and rants, you might never know for sure what Tony Prince's orientation is. Some of the game's positive critics mention how Tony doesn't act in a stereotypical fashion. Tony Prince is more of a double subversion than a straight trope, no pun intended. While he isn't interested in fashion or speaking in a perpetual lisp, he is a drama queen who snorts coke and runs nightclubs, and even calls himself an "old queen" at one point. That said, he tends to play this angle up more when in a group of people or at his clubs than when interacting with Luis, to whom he is cynical, rational, mature, and at one point in the game, even self-sacrificing. | |

Legend in Worm, the leader of the most powerful collection of superheroes on the planet, is gay, happily married, and in the process of adopting a child. Nothing in his mannerisms and speeches before the chapter that this is mentioned so much as hinted at the conditions of his personal life or his sexuality, and even then, the chapter is more concerned with dealing with the Slaughterhouse Nine. In Legend's point-of-view chapter, he's more concerned with the fact that Cauldron and his teammates have betrayed and lied to him. | |

Matt Fielding on Melrose Place is one of the first examples in prime-time. Unfortunately, seeing how gay acceptance was still in its infancy stages in the 90s, execs and sponsors were very much on his character and as such, very little could be done in his case aside from various storylines and partners that he shared almost no public displays of affection with (ironic considering the show was infamous for the copious amount of sex and other intimacy). | |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Dr. George Huang is so very Straight Gay that his sexuality was debated for nine years until the episode "Hardwired" made specific reference to it. In a fifth season episode, "Abomination", Huang says something about how gay people grow up hearing the same insults and stereotypes about gays "as the rest of us do", suggesting that either he was closeted or it was a Throw It In! case inspired by actor BD Wong's real-life sexuality. In "Lowdown" all of the gay characters act the same as straight guys. This is not surprising, since they're all really deep in the closet. |

The Night Shift: Drew, an army doctor and a ranger-in-training, is completely indistinguishable from an average masculine straight man. Until his boyfriend's (who is a soldier on active duty) injury and his friend's insistent push forced him out of the closet, one of his reasons for staying there was that he hated the idea of being seen as "the gay doctor" because it's "not who [he is]". | |

Gus and Wally from Mission Hill are an elderly gay couple who only display their sexuality when appropriate and are an early example of a gay couple on in a cartoon being portrayed in a wholly positive light - the first to show a guy-on-guy kiss on Prime Time, network television ever, in fact, which got praise from GLAAD and scorn from the Moral Guardians, despite the show being marketed to adults in the United States. Gus is Manly Gay, while Wally is Straight Gay, if a bit wimpy. | |

The Last of Us: The very gruff Bill. It seems to be implied that he might have been in a relationship with another man named Frank, but it's not until a little later that we see one of the things Ellie stole from his place was a gay porn magazine, which sort of takes any ambiguity out of the equation. | |

A non-slash example could be found in Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light, where Anna Watson's lesbianism is briefly mentioned by Mary Jane when she's explaining to Liz Allan why her cousin Kristy's father is not Mary Jane's uncle. When she appears in the story, Anna Watson is typically serving as a Parental Substitute to Mary Jane. She fills in for Mary Jane's mother, a Broken Bird who's in no shape to do the job herself because of everything she's been through at the hands of Phillip Watson, Mary Jane's father and Anna's brother. | |

DC's Pied Piper was this way when he first came out, completely shocking The Flash with the revelation of his sexuality. Later writers have mostly stayed true to this portrayal, and for a prominent gay character he shows few to no stereotypical gay traits depending on who is writing him. Mildly subverted in that he's a grown man whose original costume consisted of a poofy, polka-dotted, belted tunic, often open to the waist, with tights, a floppy cap, cape, and boots (often Peter Pan-style). Plus, long hair and proficiency with the flute. Stand him next to butcher villains like Mirror Master and Heatwave, and he might set off one's gaydar.

Leon Carp from Roseanne normally comes off as this, and initially plays down his sexuality even after his first relationship is casually alluded to.

Hammerlock from Borderlands 2. With his exposition-prone rants, polite manner and British accent you'd never know until a quest where he asks you to find ECHO tapes of a guy and offhandedly says that he is his ex boyfriend (A VERY Manly Gay by the by). In Borderlands 3, we meet his boyfriend and later husband Wainwright - a Southern Gentleman badass with a thick Louisiana accent. Though it's not that hard to notice since he calls Hammerlock the love of his life in the first moments after you meet him in person. |

Mad Men: An interesting case with Sal Romano. While modern day viewers spotted his homosexuality from the pilot onwards, for the time period (starting in 1960) nothing he did would be considered gay at the time. Yes, he dressed well, was very knowledgable about the finer things in life, had a keen eye for decorations and loved to cook. But at the time he would be considered an exceptionally refined gentleman, and his Italian heritage would explain his cooking. | |

Wing and Wong from Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny don't display any gay characteristics, and the characters are shocked when they're revealed to be a couple. Granted in their debut episode they strongly implied they had the same mom, meaning they were likely intended to be brothers before being rewritten, so it makes sense they didn't act gay at all before. But even after their coming-out scene they still don't act gay or even display any strong affection for each other, which lead some people to believe they were just putting on an act with their boss, but to be fair Kung Fu Panda is somewhat of a No Hugging, No Kissing series. | |

Anthony Bowens is openly homosexual, but he doesn't work it into his pro wrestling persona, and in fact doesn't bring it up all that much. He also doesn't have any effeminite or stereotypically gay mannerisms. In All Elite Wrestling his opponents rarely bring it up either - the first time was when Bowens' tag partner Max Caster had a rap battle on the 7/22/22 Rampage against Austin Gunn, and Gunn took a mild swipe at Bowens' sexuality. To add to that, Bowens keeps his relationship with his boyfriend (who isn't part of the wrestling business) out of the public spotlight. | |

It's only mentioned briefly during an overview of his career, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it line if you successfully earn a title match with Solitary by grabbing the belt during the Ladders and Scaffolds match, as a blog post will report that Paul Prototype will accuse Solitary and Alex Dobbs (who is a woman) of being in bed with each other "literally, despite Solitary's known orientation". | |

Manhattan Love Story: Tucker is a very proper Englishman, always using the RP accent, wears tweed jackets usually (or suits as formal wear), and is also gay. He soon turns into the Gay Best Friend to Dana. She's unsure if he's gay at first, with the episode introducing the two's friendship even titled "Gay or British?" | |

World of Warcraft has the no-nonsense, calm and collected SI:7 spymaster Mathias Shaw. Throughout most of the series history he showed no romantic attachment towards any gender (which could possibly be a front to conceal any vulnerability that could potentially be exploited by an enemy) , and displays no stereotypical mannerisms of any kind. However, a conversation with Valeera in Battle for Azeroth reveals an interest in a then-unspecified person, and in the Shadows Rising novel he enters a relationship with the also-male Flynn Fairwind. | |

One the male side, the same author has also expanded on the character of André the detective from Maskerade as a straight-acting gay, in Son of Moving Pictures II and Amateur Night. This was mainly to introduce and expand on the Blue Cat Club as a location, and based on the observed wisdom that André is ecstatically keen on the drama of musical theatre, sees past the superficial beauty and allure of Christine, and is prepared to treat Agnes Nitt sympathetically and as a person intrinsically worth knowing. It also explores how gay men fit into the Discworld. | |

Boyfriend Material: Discussed, one of the major conflicts of the story, donors for Luc's charity pulling out after a Malicious Slander tabloid about him after a party, is connected to this trope. Luc's donors lean conservative in such a way that they are ok with Luc being gay, but as long as he fits into a certain description of an "acceptable, non-threatening homosexual". One of the major reasons why Oliver is the one he choses is because he fits perfectly within that description, which he and his friends describe as being very "heteronormative". | |

In the extended cut of That Thing You Do!, the band's manager, Mr. White, has a boyfriend named Lloyd. Although the way they interact in the added scene is very obviously that of a romantic couple, there is otherwise no indication of White's sexuality. This is likely also another Beatles' reference, as their manager Brian Epstein was known by them to be gay. | |

The characters think he's about to have an Unsettling Gender-Reveal when he starts flirting with a male actor who played a female role in a kabuki play.

His clingy behaviour towards Shindo could be mistaken as him simply being friendly, except for a conversation he has with Tsukai where he asks her if she's in love with Shindo, revealing he also harbours feelings for him. However, he seems to realize he has next to no chance with Shindo, encouraging Tsukai to make a move. | |

Alec Lightwood from the The Mortal Instruments, doesn't have any stereotypical gay traits, although several people manage to figure it out anyway. Generally the only way gays could be without being expelled from the Clave. Interestingly, homosexuality is not in fact prohibited by the Law. Shadowhunters just tend to look down on it, possibly as a reflection of their slightly archaic culture. | |

Intimate: Leo is this to a fault. He has no stereotypical mannerisms at all but it's also suggested he isn't all that comfortable with his sexuality. He's emotionally closed off, insists on always topping during sex and has a very heteronormative view of his relationship with his boyfriend Florian, outright calling him the "woman" in their relationship. When asked if presenting himself like this is the only way he can feel comfortable with being gay, Leo doesn't answer, but the implication is clearly that it's true. | |

Revolver Ocelot from the Metal Gear Franchise has been confirmed to have been in love with Big Boss, and the various betrayals and manipulations he preformed over the years were all in an effort to achieve Big Boss' dream. While there is a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) Ho Yay that Ocelot shares with quite a few characters in the series, his sexuality is not really focused on all that much in the main series, making it easy to miss. | |

Both homosexual followers in Fallout: New Vegas. You can flirt with Arcade Gannon if you share his orientation, otherwise it only comes up in some blink-and-you'll-miss-it lines of dialogue. Likewise, Veronica Santangelo is only revealed as a lesbian if you show interest in her backstory (or watch her eyes around the female strippers in the Gomorrah casino and brothel), and otherwise acts like any ordinary post-apocalyptic Power Fisted Monk... but she will confess her secret desire to own a fancy pre-war dress. | |

Undertale has several characters who are non-heterosexual, none of whom act camp or show any Gayngst. The gender of the playable character is never outright stated, with only gender-neutral pronouns used to refer to them. Throughout the game, they can flirt with males, females, and monsters that are genderless. Undyne is the lesbian leader of the Royal Guard, and recognized as the best fighter in the Underground. You wouldn't know this early on in the game, only being hinted at with Mettaton's quiz show mid-game. Alphys is bisexual (and a bit of a Robosexual), and is a complete nerd. A mid-game boss fight with an extremely buff pair of guards. In order to spare them, you have to get one of the guards to confess their love for the other one. |

Echo Flynn is a tall, muscular gila monster whose defining characteristics are anger, a constant flow of insults... and promiscuity toward males exclusively. Sydney even goes so far as to refer to him as "the most straight gay guy ever." One of Flynn's first few lines even involves a discussion of how hot he found the female lead in a recent action movie. Leo is a mechanic and former high school football player who demonstrates no stereotypical traits of being gay aside from his obsessive infatuation with childhood sweetheart Chase. In fact, given his opinions on guns, college, and Chase's role in their relationship, Leo even comes across as pretty weirdly conservative at times. In the prequel novel Route 65, even Chase is shocked to find out that Leo is gay, let alone that he has feelings for him. |

The Pokémon Squad: Rudy and Snap are a gay couple (commonly called "cousins" in early seasons as a joke), but aren't overly flamboyant, simply having rather nerdy and memey interests. Their main trait is playing Straight Man to Barney. | |

In Stranger And Stranger, Derek is openly gay and crushing hard on Peter, but there's nothing particularly flamboyant about him. He comes off as slightly obsessed with his car and there are many scenes where he seems to view himself as the Only Sane Man. | |

Guin Sard Lineford from ∀ Gundam, the first character in the entire Gundam franchise with an openly stated same-sex attraction. He might be bisexual, but The Reveal of his unrequited love for the main character is not revealed until the last few episodes, so there's not much time to investigate the possibility. | |

Many characters fit this trope in The Steel Remains. The most obvious would be Ringil. He's a hero from the war against the Scaled Folk, famous for making a last stand against insurmountable odds. Despite the fame, what do most people in the empire remember him as? Gay. There's also Grace-of-Heaven and at least one of the dwenda. No mannerisms whatsoever, and they're all Badass Normal (which is good, since being homosexual in this setting is grounds for a very messy execution) | |

American Fiction: Cliff is portrayed this way, so much so that Monk either didn't notice or didn't care to notice. Cliff also is a very late bloomer for coming out, as he didn't do so until well into adulthood and after having a wife and kids. It's not fair, but it is understandable that his wife and kids hate his guts since as soon as the news got out, the whole family was humiliated by their own community. That being said, he doesn't display many of the gay stereotypical behavior except for having a lot of sexual partners and they're quite a bit younger than him. Despite this, it's not a negative portrayal of a gay man. | |

Schitt's Creek introduces Patrick in Season 3 as a potential love interest for David, who dismisses Alexis' suggestion that Patrick might be gay. Only gentle cajoling by Stevie, including pointing out to David that he is on a date with Patrick, allows David to accept that Patrick is attracted to him. Ironically, it is the more straight-acting Patrick who comes to terms with being gay while prissy David is portrayed as pansexual. | |

Kian Alvane and Likho from Dreamfall Chapters. If the player makes the right choices, Kian outs himself to Likho, and the two have a conversation on how the Azadi treat gay and lesbian people. Should the scene play out with Enu instead of Likho, Kian simply states he's not interested in women, and the conversation ends shortly after. At a later point in the game, also depending on player choices, Likho confesses that he, too, is gay, but has kept this part of himself hidden because the Dolmari aren't quite as accepting of it as the Azadi are. Kian was present in the game's predecessor, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, but his sexuality was never mentioned. | |

The Kindness of Devils has several homosexual characters spread throughout the series. Girls on Film has Anthony, an enforcer working for Kedra who nonchalantly mentions that he was turned into a vampire by his husband Tom. Under The Cold Moon has Grete Ravenhallow who gives no hint of her sexuality in any capacity professionally, but later reveals herself as a proud lesbian. None Too Holy reveals that Father Augustyn was gay and had a crush on Hardestadt. The Dreams of Lonely Stars has Frank Eagles and Albert Harrington, both of whom have been a couple for several years. |

Jhim from Something*Positive. The only trait that stands out as particularly effeminate is his fondness for dance, but even that gets undermined when he complains to the rather dim choreographer that the ballet is too girlie and she says she's sorry, she composed it thinking he was gay. Branwen's late father also counts, even though he never appears onscreen. He married Branwen's mother, an asexual, to provide The Beard for their respective orientations and fulfill their mutual desire for kids. Davan has an awkward meeting with the father's former lover and goes to Mike for explanation to avoid upsetting Branwen: | |

In Mass Effect A female Shepard romancing Liara comes off as this. Liara physically resembles a woman, but because the Asari are a monogender species they have no real concept of male/female, though the codex refers to them as an "all-female species," implying that while they may be monogendered, that gender is in fact female. Certain data files in Lair of the Shadow Broker heavily imply Mass Effect 2's Gavorn is this. |

Nyreen Kandros, the series' first female turian, who was previously in a relationship with asari gangster Aria T'Loak. Returning party member Kaidan Alenko reveals that he is a bisexual variant, as a male Shepard can now romance Kaidan just as the female Shepard can. Up until this point Kaidan had shown no signs that he was attracted to other men as he wasn't originally a Gay Option in Mass Effect, with Kaidan himself explaining that Shepard's temporary death in Mass Effect 2 was the impetus for Kaidan realizing he was in love with the male Shepard. |

Mass Effect: In Mass Effect A female Shepard romancing Liara comes off as this. Liara physically resembles a woman, but because the Asari are a monogender species they have no real concept of male/female, though the codex refers to them as an "all-female species," implying that while they may be monogendered, that gender is in fact female. Certain data files in Lair of the Shadow Broker heavily imply Mass Effect 2's Gavorn is this. Mass Effect 3: Male Shepard can have a romantic relationship with Steve Cortez, who both fit this trope. Similarly, female Shepard can start a romance with Samantha Traynor. Nyreen Kandros, the series' first female turian, who was previously in a relationship with asari gangster Aria T'Loak.

Degrassi: The Next Generation Riley and Zane are pictured above. Riley's Coming-Out Story has been his major arc since his introduction, because he struggles with being both gay and the school's star athlete. His boyfriend Zane often gets painted in fanfiction as much campier than he is in-universe because Riley is so much more masculine by comparison. Get Zane alone and he's as butch as the next guy...except for the hair. Dylan, Paige's brother who is also a gifted hockey player. Bit of a player though. |

Emmerdale's trainee mechanic and fully qualified juvenile delinquent Aaron is Straight Gay to the point that half the village initially thought he was faking it to avoid a prison sentence for a homophobic assault. His first love interest, a builder named Jackson, also qualified, something that's discussed within the show, as Jackson mocks Aaron for thinking he's the only gay man in the world with a manly job or personal angst about his straight gayness. | |

As the World Turns: The gays of Oakdale. Noah of the gay supercouple Luke and Noah. Given his extensive character development, Luke has had enough time to be more comfortable about his sexuality and his, compared to Noah, more feminine mannerisms. Still, Luke has had his moments especially when it comes to helping and protecting Noah. Lampshaded somewhat when a former executive, turned Squicky step-Grandparental incest there for a moment, of his charity foundation told him to lay low around LGBT issues and projects. Dr. Reid Oliver. Before he starts dating Luke, the protagonist accuses Reid of being homophobic when appearing uncooperative about hastening Noah's surgery. Complete with a soft chortle, The Reveal, and then a jab about not knowing the gay handshake. Henry was originally wary about Reid being roommates with his friend Katie, at first not believing Reid when he tells him he is gay. None of the minor gay characters from Luke's college days did anything stereotypically gay. |

Martin Tupper's father in the 1987 HBO comedy, Dream On. His father's boyfriend was also introduced, and the couple would often kiss on screen and even talk about their sex life. The three would get together and watch sports at Martin's apartment. This was lampshaded in the episode where his father was dumped. In the episode, he meets another manly gay man, a writer of a slam-bang action hero novel series. When the author decides he's going to publically come out, and have his lead character do so as well, Martin is incredulous because the series has established repeatedly how much of a ladies' man the lead character is. The author realizes that his lead character as he already exists is important to a lot of people, and so is his own image. "He can't come out...and neither can I." So he breaks off the relationship. The senior Tupper tells his son that he'll never be happy: "There are only three gay guys in the world who like watching football and bass fishing. And two of them dumped me." |

A rather strange case is Tom from Lost. In three seasons, the only hint of any kind of sexuality from him was his telling Kate "You're not my type."

Soap has an odd example with Jodie (Billy Crystal). For much of the first season, he's Camp Gay, what with cross-dressing, being a good decorator and tales of putting on makeup as a child. In later seasons, however, he's just Straight Gay. Then there's his closeted on again, off again boyfriend Dennis (a football star), and his lesbian roommate Alice, both Straight Gay. Years later on the David Letterman show Billy Crystal told how he was alarmed when he went to Japan and saw the show dubbed in Japanese and his character done in a much more stereotypically flaming way! | |

Mag from Dollhouse. She appears in two episodes. In the first episode, the issue of her sexuality never comes up. In the second episode, an offhand comment indicates that she's lesbian, and has been out for some time. Although Zone had to have it spelled out for him. | |

Kevin Keller from Archie Comics, despite being explicitly created to be a gay teen in the Archie universe, is pretty mundane. His first storyline had to deal with him turning down Veronica, who had a crush on him. A later mini-series went over the rest of his life, and showed him as an army brat with a goal of joining the armed forces himself. Partially because of the fact that he's basically a typical Archie character (but gay) has gotten him popular enough to score his own series. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Jon "Griff" Connington is a hardened mercenary leader with a Sergeant Rock personality who mourns his friend Rhaegar Targaryean, for whom he had more than platonic feelings. Loras Tyrell, dubbed "the Knight of Flowers," is renowned across the realm for his skill in arms (specifically jousting/lances). His nickname may seem obvious to many, but a rose is the sigil of House Tyrell. Many readers of the book series didn't even pick up on the fact that he was in a romantic relationship with Renly Baratheon until GRRM confirmed it. Renly Baratheon; tall and strong, he reminds people of his brother Robert when he was younger. He also marries a woman to solidify a political alliance. His formation of the "Rainbow Guard" may be an in-joke to clue in modern readers; however, rainbows are a common religious symbol in-universe. |

She rejects him, but when he tells her it was a business proposition that they didn't understand, she offers to go for a stroll with him, slightly disappointed that he wasn't attracted to her. He then adds insult to injury by telling Leela "No thanks ma'am, I'm actually gay" and walking off. | |

The Venture Bros.: The Alchemist almost never shows any stereotypically homosexual tendencies (other than putting on a Camp Gay voice). Has a pretty physical onscreen relationship with Shore Leave (who is kinda on the fence with this troupe and Camp Gay) which comes up every so often. Colonel Gentleman, who is every bit the dashing Sean Connery-esque gentleman agent, except that he's also famous for his homosexual conquests and his young male lover Kiki, despite showing no stereotypically gay traits at all and, according to the creators on the Season 2 DVD, transcends sexuality. As Jackson Publick said in his Gentleman voice, "Of course I'm having sex with Tiki. Look at him, he's gorgeous, what the hell else would you do with him?! That doesn't make me gay, it makes me smart!" |

Most of the men in Blur the Lines, including the two protagonists, Drew and Rick. Parodied when Drew mocks Rick for asking his mother for a flannel shirt for Christmas. [1] Discussed, then deconstructed when Drew considers whether he should check himself off as "Straight Acting" on a dating site, thinks of what his heterosexual friends are like, and decides against it. Turns out that even straight people can be decidedly un-straight acting. |

Angels in America: Joe Pitt tries early on to repress his homosexuality, and in fact doesn't even consciously recognize that he's gay until "Mistaken for Gay" by his future lover. Prior tells Louis, "You don't notice anything. If I hadn't spent the last four years fellating you I'd swear you were straight." However, Louis implies through dialogue that he changes his behavior based on his company and may only be playing straight around certain people. Roy Cohn is so aggressively masculine that apparently no one questions his bachelorhood, his love of musical theatre, or his tendency to sit way too close to other men and demand back rubs from them. Of course, at least a few people knew - he's in tight with Nancy Reagan, who was a notorious Fag Hag. |

In the All in the Family episode "Judging Books By Covers", Archie thinks one of Mike's friends is gay because he acts effeminate. He isn't, but it turns out one of Archie's old drinking buddies, an ex-football player is gay. Archie refuses to believe that, even when the guy tells him personally. | |

Game of Thrones: Lord Renly Baratheon has a more masculine appearance and demeanour than his lover, Ser Loras Tyrell; the latter is somewhere in between Straight Gay and Camp Gay. Subverted somewhat because the more generally masculine "otter" Renly is a politician, not a warrior; the more androgynous Loras, in contrast, is an Agent Peacock, flamboyant, but widely acknowledged as one of the best swordsmen in Westeros. Loras in particular is in a Transparent Closet, yet is greatly adored by many naïve and hopeful women who consider him to be the hottest bachelor in the kingdom. | |

Bedazzled (2000): This is how The Devil screws up Elliot's wish to be a smart, suave, famous author with a decent-sized "winkie". As the author, Elliot charms the crowd and woos his Love Interest Allison. Then they get to his bedroom and find out that his Camp Gay boyfriend is waiting for him. The boyfriend asks him a question about musicals, and Elliot passes with flying colors, suddenly realizing that he is gay. His last-ditch attempt, to passionately kiss Allison, proves to both that he's gay. He shakes her hand, and they part. | |

Wayne obviously didn't know that he was gay, or else he wouldn't have played that prank where he sent emails to his friends and family where he pretends to be Lars coming out to everyone. Lars actually ends up thanking Wayne because he didn't have the guts to do it himself, much to his frustration. | |

Modern Family: Gay couple Mitchell and Cameron are a quite interesting case. Mitchell has Straight Gay mannerisms but is heavily into musical theater and was a figure skater in his youth, while Cameron has more "manly" interests like football but is otherwise a clear Camp Gay. Also played with when Phil invites a Straight Gay over for dinner without realizing he's gay - and Phil's dinner companion doesn't realize that Phil is straight. It gets interesting, especially when beer is spilled on both of their shirts and they're both half-naked... |

Arie van Bruggen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Once Jensen finds him, the first thing he says is "Sorry man, you're not my type". If it weren't for that single line, you'd think he was just your average straight Playful Hacker, or a smartass. More specifically, he's bisexual- his penthouse has a post it with a girl's phone number and a "Forever Alone" doodle, and Tong mentions that he provides Arie with anything he needs, including "booze, drugs, boys and girls." | |

The Laundry Files by Charles Stross has the recurring characters called "Pinky and Brains", the protagonist's co-workers at the occult spy agency called "The Laundry", and, early in the series, his roommates. Their characterization comes more from the fact that they're both sometimes-destructive occult tinkerers than that they're gay. Pinky does have a tendency to go clubbing, but Brains is described as a "borderline autist" and has to be dragged to Gay Pride every year to keep his security clearance.note The bureaucratic "logic": If Brains isn't public about being gay he may be closeted, and if he's closeted that's something enemy agents could blackmail him with, therefore not attending Pride would make him a security risk. | |

Several times in Without a Trace: In the pilot, two agents interview the Victim of the Week's boss, who is so much this that one of the agents assumes he's in love with or sleeping with her, given the way he keeps gushing about her. The other agent laughs in his face and informs him "he was checking you out". "Coming Home". It's discovered that the missing person was cheating on his wife when they find suspicious activity on his credit card bill, but they don't realize that it was with another man until they trace the transactions to a gay bar. Neither he, his boyfriend, or an ex ever display a single stereotype. "Maple Street". It's only revealed that two suspects are gay when they finally admit that their alibi for the time the victim was abducted was that they were in a motel room together. |

I Love You, Man: Probably to play off the main character's metrosexuality, gives him a gay brother who is far more able to act masculine/ relate to most masculine straight men than the protagonist himself. Turns out, personality is not determined by orientation! Doug, played by Thomas Lennon, who thinks he's on a date with, and kisses, Paul Rudd's main character, Peter. The effectiveness of the gag depends on both Peter, and the audience, having had no idea Doug was gay (presuming they hadn't seen the trailer). When Doug reappears, however, his anger that Peter never returned his calls leads to increasing Camp Gay. |

Cecil and Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale. Cecil has occasional fey touches (like a tendency to get Valley Girl when he goes off-script), but he doesn't sound much different from your standard, NPR-style radio host. The series' creators have specified his sexuality as gay and all of the characters he's shown an interest in have been male—most notably and gushingly Carlos, Night Vale's newest scientist. And in episode 25, Carlos—who doesn't exactly ring any bells himself—reciprocates. | |

The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Katie is queer but the only indications are her showering Jade with Hearts when they are face timing, her wearing a Pride-Badge on her hoodie throughout the movie, her flashback to when she was a teenager where she "spent some time figuring herself out", and in the end when Linda asks if Katie and Jade are official when she's coming back for Thanksgiving break. | |

Doctor Who: Extreme Omnisexual Captain Jack Harkness tends to wear WWII military uniforms and generally only comes off as such thanks to his tendency to flirt with any individual who catches his fancy. He doesn't fit the trope as much on his spinoff Torchwood. "The Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon": FBI agent Canton almost lost his job because he wanted to marry a black man... in 1969. "Praxeus": The exact nature of the relationship between hotheaded ex-Cowboy Cop Jake Willis and imperiled astronaut Adam Lang is not immediately clear primarily because both of them qualify for this trope (they're married). |

The Boys in the Band features an example of pretty much every common gay stereotype. Sports-playing high school math teacher Hank, who's been married and has a young son and daughter, is the Straight Gay, though strictly speaking "Hank swings both ways, but with a definite preference" — preference for his own sex, that is. Arguably, Alan, the ostensibly straight guy who turns up, is in fact a closeted gay or bisexual and hence a Straight Gay. The main character, Michael, says that in college he used to be 'straight-acting'. Now he's not. | |

Bobby O. from the non-celebrity third season of The Mole. In "A Closer Look", he claimed that he was going to use his "gay-dar" to sniff out the titular saboteur. The Dutch Mole series (Wie is de Mol?) has at least one gay contestant in almost every season and their sexuality usually isn't immediately obvious or made a big deal of. Examples are Frits from season 12, Rik and Viktor from season 15, and Thomas and Jeroen from season 17. |

The Wire Omar Little is a physically imposing and violent stick-up man who robs drug dealers. He is very openly homosexual, but displays no camp traits at all. His various boyfriends tend to be either twinks or Straight Gay as well. Although he supposedly has a wife and kids, Commander Rawls is seen briefly in a gay bar in the third season, and Rawls being gay is basically one of the Baltimore Police Department's favorite in-jokes. Given Rawls' age (mid-to-late 50s at the youngest) and background (working-class Irish-American cop in Baltimore), him being closeted is completely unsurprising. |

Mikaal Tomas from the '90s run of Starman (DC Comics) was pretty Straight Gay. He was, of course, bisexual according to what we're told and was, originally, Starman in the 70s (oh, the bling) but if anything, he was more standard-heroic than Jack. He and his boyfriend, however, were an interestingly steady contrast to Jack's romantic issues. | |

As of Season 19's "Tweek X Craig", Craig Tucker and Tweek Tweak are now an official gay couple, which is moreso present in Season 21, where Craig calls Tweek "honey" or "babe" without anyone present to apply peer pressure. This was later confirmed by Word of God from the show's creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. |

Max from Happy Endings, to the point he's (ironically) the Straight Man of the group; the closest the main group has to gay stereotypes can be found in Camp Straight Brad and Fag Hag Penny instead. In fact, the second episode not only lampshades this through Penny complaining Max is just a straight guy who likes guys, but ends with the revelation that Penny doesn't need a gay husband because she is the sassy gay stereotype in her friendship with Max. | |

Diabolik's recurring character Saverio Hardy is gay, but the only hint before he came out was that he did not court a gorgeous female friend of his. Diabolik himself admitted he had not seen that coming, in spite of his usual ability to notice anything about someone's personality and having spent a long time with him. | |

Pride (2014): Of the LSGM, Gethin, the partner of Always Camp Jonathan is the most understated of the group, and even suggests trying to be less flamboyant when going to Wales. At the village, Cliff, the lifelong bachelor poet and brother-in-law of Heteronormative Crusader Maureen, has a Late Coming Out moment towards the end of the film, though it's revealed many in the village already knew. | |

The Legatum series seems to have at least one openly gay character in each story. Smirvlak's Stone has Gnekvizz Corveel, whose sexuality is revealed nonchalantly by his brother Nick. Help Not Wanted has Groshlar, Grovmar, Krumvell, and Bunng, who all show no stereotypical traits short of having sex with each other. The Road to Hell... has Shurrmvin and Jervow, the former of whom had a boyfriend prior to his death. Scrambled Egg has Synnyk Synncader, who reveals he's dating a male goblin named Gargin. |

From the same series, Seb is not suspected to be gay. He even dates Mae and is found out only when she finds his sketchbook, which is filled with many, many sketches of Jamie.

Pretty much every gay man in The Walking Dead (Telltale): The Walking Dead: Season Two gives us Walter and Matthew, two kind, older gentlemen living in an abandoned skii resort. They refer to eachother as "partners", but this was too vague to many players who thought that the two were just close friends. The Walking Dead: Season Three has Paul "Jesus" Monroe, whose only hint towards his sexuality is that he flirts with Javier briefly in episode five. The Walking Dead: Season Four: The quiet and introverted James' sexuality can be revealed in an optional conversation he has if Clementine has befriended him. He will pull her to the side before the raid on the Delta boat to show her a photo of him and his ex-boyfriend. The exchange can be missed entirely, with nothing else pointing to James being gay. Depending on player choice, Clementine can come across as straight bi. She briefly develops a crush on Gabe in Season Three; and in Season Four she can pursue a relationship with either Louis or Violet. |

Almost no-one would've guessed that the o.W.n Fem!Scout in Cult of Personality was a lesbian until she started checking out and then showing interest in the RED Turbine Fem!Scout upon meeting each other the first time in Chapter 4, though the feeling isn't mutual. Could also be considered Screw Yourself since the Fem!Scout may essentially be the same person. And this is after she openly rejected the oWn Scout and the ambiguously male Pyro's advances, although the latter is probably due to the Pyro trying to give her an arm as a gift. Otherwise, she behaves pretty much the same as any other Scouts. | |

In the RCN series, Dasi and Barnes may not be attracted to one another, and their amatory interests don't really come up as minor supporting characters for the main heroes, but in When the Tide Rises it's hinted at that they're not straight, after another character uses "pansies" to disparage a just-deposed dictator's mooks as being unable to fight armed opponents. The two are among those that Leary looks to when gathering brawlers from the crew for beating some sense into others. | |

When Walt visits Gus's house to discuss business matters he takes his statement about having a wife and kids at face value, and his sexuality is quite ambiguous for most of the show to the point that, without other characters lampshading it, one would not necessarily realize he and Max were more than just business partners. | |

Havemercy: Most of the main characters fit this trope. You'd never think that foul-mouthed, dragon-riding, whore-mongering Rook was even slightly bi-curious until he starts acting funny around Thom. Royston is a more accurate example, since he's gay in canon. If not for his famous tryst with the prince of Arlemagne, or his "child-bride farm-boy" Hal, most people would probably assume him straight. He is, however, very open about his preferences, to the point that he is the one character that most fans cannot see with a female, ever. Still, his mannerisms are classy and cultured and high-society and quite manly, and though he has an eye for fashion he doesn't flaunt it. Though considering the original, non-edited text (or at least what has been said about it), Rook IS an accurate example. |
