* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': Though [[HilariousInHindsight looking back]], the "ambiguously" was incredibly tenuous sometimes.

*** Blitzwing's other two personas have not expressed any sexual preference, but he seems actively repulsed by Blackarachnia. However, this may be more because of her technoorganic form rather than her female persona. Oddly, while his other two personas seem actively repulsed by Blackarachnia it is the Random persona who wanted to "express his feelings for her in song".

** Princess Bubblegum showed no signs of returning Finn's three-season-long PrecociousCrush, one would say that's cause Finn is too young, yet that doesn't stop other princesses from hitting on him. On top of that, she didn't have ''any'' interest in any of the suitors (who were all male) in ''The Suitor''. While the exact nature of her relationship with Marceline hasn't been revealed, ''What Was Missing'' ''heavily'' implies she had a much closer relationship with her and still yearns for to have it again. These implications were further explored in ''Sky Witch'', in the beginning of the episode, she was seen heavily sniffing the rock shirt that Marceline gave to her (which was stated in ''What Was Missing'' as her most prized possession), then towards the end the episode, we discover that she used her rock shirt to make a trade with Maja the Sky Witch [[spoiler: to get Hambo back to Marceline]].

** Rainbow Dash herself could qualify given the fact that she has ShipTease with every single female character of the mane six especially Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie (who has massive amounts of LesYay back at her). She has also shown very little interest in stallions aside from two very subtle moments, and even then, she could be AmbiguouslyBi,  is associated with rainbows, and has a very raspy voice for a female. Lauren Faust stated at one point that assuming a tomboy is lesbian is a stereotype, but she didn't say Rainbow Dash didn't fit the stereotype, so there's that to consider. Considering it's a kid's show, it probably won't be brought up.
** There's also Scootaloo and her obsession (which goes far beyond a normal Fangirl) of Rainbow Dash.

Ambiguously Gay is when characters are deliberately portrayed with stereotypically gay attributes, Ho Yay is fans interpreting plot, dialogue, or interactions in a homoerotic light. Considering the fact that My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic very much operates on the No Hugging, No Kissing principle (and in the case of Rainbow Dash, Faust explicitly said her sexual orientation was not in the show), these interpretations, at least for the main characters, would be better placed on MLP\'s Ho Yay page, if in fact they are not already there.


** Gilda acts like a jealous girlfriend to Rainbow Dash in "Griffon the Brush Off", bordering on PsychoExGirlfriend, but no romantic feelings are ever mentioned. Which only added to the already-rampant speculation about Rainbow Dash's [[LesbianJock tomboy personality]] and connection with rainbows.
*** Pinkie Pie goes through much the same thing in the episode, with Twilight suggesting that the real reason Pinkie is upset is because she's jealous of Dash and Gilda's relationship (an impression fueled further in the minds of the audience by Pinkie's StalkerWithACrush-esque actions earlier in the episode - complete with an entire sequence consisting of her behaving [[ShoutOut very much much like]] [[LooneyTunes Pepe le Pew]]). As with Gilda, though, the events of the episode don't delve any further than that.
** Rainbow Dash herself. The rainbows and athleticism might have been enough, but she's also shown to be very close to Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, ''and'' Applejack. No word from the staff on this, although Creator/LaurenFaust, who created the series and ran the first season, (in response to [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch an infamous article]]) said that automatically assuming an athletic girl is a lesbian is insulting towards both actual female atheletes and actual lesbians (though fans noted she [[ExactWords didn't say]] Rainbow Dash ''didn't'' fit the stereotype).

** A running gag with Mr. Garrison for several seasons. He's virulently anti-gay, yet sports a stereotypical gay lisp. Several characters state outright that they thought he was gay, but he insists that he just acts that way to "get chicks". In one episode he writes erotic fiction and focuses on penises, seeming to get very aroused by his own writing, but then insists that he's just writing to what his audience, women, want to read. In later seasons he comes out of the closet.
** Jimbo and Ned. They're unrelated, live together, evidently have hospital visitation rights worked out. And then, Jimbo can say "fag" without getting bleeped, which according to Mr(s). Garrison means that he is one. All the other guys at the bar are bleeped when they say fag. After an awkward silence, Mr(s). Garrison says "Well, we've certainly learned something about Jimbo today."
** Butters. He has been shown crossdressing, he's feminine, innocent, submissive, polite, and fits TheTwink status. While he has shown affection toward girls, it's mostly blocked by his naivety. Oh, and he's more than willing to share his "creamy goo" with all the boys.

Hagen, however, shows affection for a female character in a later episode "Mudslide", suggesting that he is either bisexual, or that the feeling was not mutual, or that there was no relationship whatsoever, or that he's happy with using and abusing anyone who happens to fall in love with him, regardless of gender.

In addition to being mincing and prissy, Threepio has limp wrists, seems legitimately uncomfortable when a woman hugs him, harbors a fondness for fashion accessories, and shares a surprising amount of HoYay with R2-D2.
* ''TheFairlyOddParents'':
** Sanjay. The fact that [[HoYay he's way too into Timmy]] should tip you off.
** Mr. Bickles the drama teacher.
** Cupid, such as in the "Wishology" trilogy where Cupid and Juandissimo had a scene in "The Exciting Middle Part" eating in an outdoor cafe together, acting very much like a dating couple (which would make Juandissimo AmbiguouslyBi.
** Chester doesn't like being too close to girls because he gets rashes, an episode had Chester cross-dressing and dancing with AJ when the two needed dance partners.
* ''GeorgeAndMartha'': Oscar & Wilde. Apparently in the short lived cartoon series, there is a pair of alligator characters who give off so many clear signs that there is definitely something more to their relationship. They live together, they go on vacation together, one is never seen without the other, and there's even a scene in one episode where the two are dressed up in outfits straight out of the Village People. The kicker? Their names are Oscar and Wilde. It's like they were trying to see [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar how far they could go in a children's cartoon]] without outright stating the fact.
* HannaBarbera character Snagglepuss. Heavens to Murgatroid! He's pink, has good taste, moves very softly and talks like ''this'', [[VerbalTic even]].
* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'': Though [[HilariousInHindsight looking back]], the "ambiguously" was incredibly tenuous sometimes. (A running gag on Website/{{Cracked}} is that whenever He-Man is brought up, they will inevitably mention that the show taught the children of the '80s that being gay is okay.)
* ''HeyArnold'': Eugene has a room decorated with [[TastesLikeDiabetes rainbows and unicorns]], and often takes interest in anything related to dancing and musicals. Mr. Simmons fell under this as well, until WordOfGay confirmed it.
* ''HomeMovies'' - Walter and Perry are a bit young for any real sexual identity, but they're way beyond 'ambiguous'.
* ''{{Jimmy Two-Shoes}}'':
** Samy Garvin, who can best be described as [[TheSimpsons Smithers]] from the Simpsons in demon form. The fact that he has AlwaysCamp dreams of stardom do not help his case.
** The titular Jimmy Two-Shoes as well. He has considerable HoYay towards Lucius and in Matchmaker Jimmy, when Lucius tells Beezy he needs a date for an upcoming event, Beezy turns to Jimmy and asks him how he looks in a dress. Jimmy responds with "What kind of a dress?"
* ''JohnnyBravo'': Carl pounces on Johnny constantly (as in "Johnny Goes to Camp"), is very clingy despite Johnny shoving him away, all-too-into playing Johnny's pretend date ("Charm School Johnny") or wife ("Chain Gang Johnny"), is impervious to the wiles of chicks, often thinking they're evil ("Forest Chump"), and even said he loved Johnny while standing up for him against an angry mob in "Lodge Brother Johnny". Heck, the episode "Carl Be Not Proud" is practically nothing BUT HoYay.
* ''JohnnyTest'':
** Gil.
** Dukey, his trademark laugh, some of the outfits he wears (particularly the vampire hunter episode) and getting cuddly with Johnny in the episode Johnny Irresistable to the point where he nearly starts [[RefugeInAudacity humping Johnny's leg.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' has Color Kid, who wears a rainbow on his chest, as well as speaking and gesturing flamboyantly. He's also concerned at one point that he may not have used the precisely appropriate shade of green.
** Much less so in the original comics, where he was just an example of someone with a superpower too useless to be allowed to join. It wasn't until about the 80s that hints that he might be gay started showing up.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'': Flapjack, considering how touchy-feely and girly he is, he was mistaken as a girl in one episode and wore purple panties in another.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Gilda acts like a jealous girlfriend to Rainbow Dash in "Griffon the Brush Off", bordering on PsychoExGirlfriend, but no romantic feelings are ever mentioned. Which only added to the already-rampant speculation about Rainbow Dash's [[LesbianJock tomboy personality]] and connection with rainbows.
*** Pinkie Pie goes through much the same thing in the episode, with Twilight suggesting that the real reason Pinkie is upset is because she's jealous of Dash and Gilda's relationship (an impression fueled further in the minds of the audience by Pinkie's StalkerWithACrush-esque actions earlier in the episode - complete with an entire sequence consisting of her behaving [[ShoutOut very much much like]] [[LooneyTunes Pepe le Pew]]). As with Gilda, though, the events of the episode don't delve any further than that.
** Rainbow Dash herself. The rainbows and athleticism might have been enough, but she's also shown to be very close to Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, ''and'' Applejack. No word from the staff on this, although Creator/LaurenFaust, who created the series and ran the first season, (in response to [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch an infamous article]]) said that automatically assuming an athletic girl is a lesbian is insulting towards both actual female atheletes and actual lesbians (though fans noted she [[ExactWords didn't say]] Rainbow Dash ''didn't'' fit the stereotype).
** Stephen Magnet, the Sea Serpent from part 2 of the pilot. He's pinkish-purple, speaks in an effeminate voice, and cries when his fabulous mustache is ruined.
* Every single pony from G1 ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', though a few stand out. Applejack licked Glory in the beginning of the first special, though it seems like it's just affection and due to the fact she's covered in apple juice - it seems innocent until you notice some official figurines have Glory marrying ''Moondancer'', another mare. There's also Gusty, who fits for most of the same reason Dash does in G4 (plus she has an androgynous voice).
* ''ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'':
** King Julien. As mentioned in the film above, but is even more noticeable here, although he shows interest in courting the only main female character, Marlene the otter, and has also admitted to having [[GirlfriendInCanada girlfriends in Canada]] (no, really). Some of his dialogue can easily be interpreted as a ring-tailed lemur in serious denial. (Six words: "No one will be [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sucking seed]]!")
** Mort might be a close second, though he's only interested in Julien's [[FootFocus feet]] specifically, not the rest of him.
** [[GentleGiant Roger the alligator]], who doesn't want to scare anyone; he wants to bake muffins for bullies, and wants to sing on Broadway.
** All the penguins have their moments, but those made the biggest deal of are Private and Rico - Private could be acting babyish, but it's just funny for the DumbMuscle to have quite the number of notable 'gay' moments.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' has Him, also fitting the SissyVillain trope. Him was also based heavily on the Chief Blue Meanie from ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', who is mentioned above in the Animated Films section.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' has Roba, the most sensitive member of the team and is frequently anxious about being loved and accepted. He practically had a man crush on master funny face artist Tony Marv, and becomes upset in another episode because he wouldn't be able to wear a salsa hat if Bad Cat went undefeated. Roba was also completely turned off by Katrina Rad's amorous advances (although she ''was'' [[{{Yandere}} crazy]]), and is quick is criticize Alfe's fashion sense. His high-pitched voice and effeminate hand gestures are additional traits.
* ''TheProudFamily'': Michael the "sissy" sole male cheerleader and son of the macho coach(who he can't call "Dad" in public).
* The 2 TV Store Warehouse spokesman in ''RegularShow''.
* ''The Reluctant Dragon'': In the Disney animated short, the title character is rather effeminate and very campy, singing in a high voice, reciting poetry, dancing on his tiptoes, doing the stereotypical gay wave, etc.
* The title characters of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', whose ever ambiguous status as a couple was something of a RunningGag throughout the series. When asked about fan rumors that they were a gay couple their creator reportedly just gave a ShrugOfGod and said "I don't know, it's none of my business". In the ''Adult Party Cartoon'', however, it was made... quite explicit... that the duo were in fact lovers. This kind of ruined the joke, though.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' has the Chameleon Brothers.
* ''ScaredySquirrel'': Dave the FatIdiot skunk shows quite a few CampGay mannerisms like a lispy voice and crossdressing.
* Professor Pamplemoose from ''[[{{WesternAnimation/Sidekick}} Sidekick]]'' has traits of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Mr. Waylon Smithers ''used'' to be Ambiguously Gay but in later seasons the show just ran with the gay jokes. Originally he was strictly a [[SingleTargetSexuality "Burnsosexual"]], which eventually devolved into Ambiguously Gay and then just plain gay. He'd previously mentioned having [[TheBeard a wife]], but in a flashback their relationship was played out as a reference to ''Theatre/CatOnAHotTinRoof'', so...
** Milhouse: A lot of jokes travel this route; Bart's HeroicBSOD after disastrous early school experiences (flashback episode "Lisa's Sax") lead to this exchange with a school counselor:
-->'''Dr. Pryor:''' Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, there's nothing to be alarmed about. Public school can be intimidating to a young child, particularly one with as many [[FlamboyantGay flamboyantly homosexual tendencies]] as your son.\\
'''Marge:''' Bart's ''gay''?\\
'''Dr. Pryor:''' Ah, whoo, wrong file. (Counselor replaces file into its rack; audience sees the label: "van Houten, Milhouse").
* ''SkunkFu'': Baboon is known to behave very effeminately at times, the hand gestures, the hip swings, the fact that he was willing to teach a monkey how to act like a girl and dressed up like one for Dragon's birthday, on the other hand he has been shown to have a crush on Fox the youngest shapely female character in the show.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': Vanity Smurf is very effeminate, has the stereotypically affected voice of a "gay man", has a flower on his hat, and doesn't care about anyone but himself.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Eric Cartman and [[FoeYay his obsession with]] [[TheSmartGuy Kyle]] [[TheConscience Broflovski]]. The subplot of the three-part-special ''Imaginationland'' consisted of Cartman trying to force Kyle into sucking his balls, to the point where he traveled across the country to get him to do it, and the episode ended with Cartman actually imagining him doing it, complete with calling him a 'dirty girl'. Additionally, Cartman states [[GirlsHaveCooties that girls are vile and disgusting]], had a relationship between Ben Affleck and his hand puppet of Jennifer Lopez, and he made-out with a cardboard cutout of Justin Timberlake, while he was pretending to be Britney Spears. He performed oral sex on Butters, and made Butters reciprocate in a feeble attempt to right the first blowjob, which just lead to Butters being sent to a camp for gays.
** Stan and his ''funny'' (as his mother puts it) [[HeterosexualLifePartners relationship with Kyle]] makes Cartman look straight in comparison, though whether [[PuppyLove his girlfriend]] makes him this or AmbiguouslyBi depends on how serious he actually viewed that relationship (it was never more than shallow, and it took years before Stan stopped vomitting uncontrollably around her). [[WordOfGod Trey]] said [[CharacterizationMarchesOn over 10 years ago]] that of any of the four main boys, Stan is the most likely to turn out to be canon gay, because he's the most sensitive. You can still see it.
** Kyle himself might be of the ArmouredClosetGay variety; he's the only male of the main boys who expresses disgust at naked males, when the other male student characters seem fine with watching naked dudes, implying that he is unsecure about his own sexuality; furthermore, the only things he considers disgusting are suspiciously penis related (pee and bananas), while he doesn't have any problems with far less hygienic things like anthropomorphic sapient shits, further implying that he wants to make himself look straighter even though he has no need to. Canonically, he had two attractions to female characters, only one of which arguably sexual, and since these were early episodes it is likely that they are subjected to a {{Retcon}} or CharacterizationMarchesOn.
** Terrance & Phillip's situation is so ambiguous even ''they'' don't know what it is:
-->'''Terrance:''' That Scott really hates us.\\
'''Phillip:''' Yes, perhaps he's homophobic.\\
(Silence)\\
'''Terrance:''' But we're not gay, Phillip.\\
'''Phillip:''' We're not?
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': Various hardline religious groups have made efforts to get Spongebob taken off the air for its perceived support of the so-called "gay agenda". WordOfGod has said that calling [=SpongeBob=] "gay" or "straight" doesn't make sense, since he's a sea sponge that reproduces asexually. Later official information mentions that Spongebob has a crush on Sandy, a girl. (Contrary to popular belief, [[SincerityMode it is entirely possible to have a crush on someone and still be asexual]])
* Kyle and Salty Mike from SquirrelBoy are mostly seen together. They also live in the SAME HOUSE!.
* ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'': Arygyn the Skeelur, in Episode 25, "''The Lesson''", Arygyn(voiced by ScottMcNeil) appears to the Storm Hawks team to train them. He is rather flamboyant in his mannerisms and clothing style, and often makes comments about someone's lousy hairstyle or the need for more decorations on the Condor.
* ''SymbionicTitan'': Todd the decorator of the student council from the episode "Under The Three Moons". He wears a pink shirt, tight pants, and a scarf, he's very flamboyant, speaks with a lisp, and skips when excited.
* ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' has Larry 3000, especially in the second season. The first season did have its share of gay innuendo with Larry, but not as much as Season 2; it's like the writers knew the show was getting cancelled and they wanted to get as much as they could past the censors. The biggest example being "Ex Marks The Spot", an episode that was pure HoYay with Tuddrussel and even ended with the line that he would be [[ExiledToTheCouch "sleeping on the couch tonight"]]; the nightclub scene from "Day of the Larrys" is a close second.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'': Noah, with emphasis on "ambiguous". Initially, in ''Island'', we get the obvious mannerisms and the HoYay with CasanovaWannabe Cody, but then it gets subverted during ''World Tour'' where the mannerisms are toned down severely and it's implied that he has a crush on GranolaGirl Bridgette. And then we get FoeYay with DashingHispanic Alejandro, followed by ShipTease with GenkiGirl Izzy. At this point, [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage the fans really have no freakin' clue]].
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** Blitzwing, or more precisely, [[SplitPersonality one third of him]]. When he's in his "Random" persona he has a high-pitched giggly voice, enjoys flamboyant dancing, is "light on his oscillating servos" and on one occasion referred to a crane as "big, bold, and sassy" -- before he realized that the crane was an inanimate object and not a fellow Transformer.
*** Blitzwing's other two personas have not expressed any sexual preference, but he seems actively repulsed by Blackarachnia. However, this may be more because of her technoorganic form rather than her female persona. Oddly, while his other two personas seem actively repulsed by Blackarachnia it is the Random persona who wanted to "express his feelings for her in song".
** Starscream, who, as well as being on occasion quite flamboyantly ''fabulous'', made five clones meant to represent different aspects of his personality -- one of which was distinctly female. Which part of his personality was she? The answer given was "guess".
*** Just sounding like a whiny little girl doesn't make this trope, but G1 Starscream was a tad ''that'' way too - the most infamous moment here is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_VOlRTT_8 him glomping Megatron]].
** Prowl has some questionably gay habits in ''TransformersAnimated''.
** Lockdown, the bounty hunter appears to have a bit of a thing for Prowl.
** Grandus, who fanboys over famous singer Rosanna and ScreamsLikeALittleGirl when he sees a human, and his voice is even based on famous gay actor Paul Lynde.
** Knock Out. In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' he not only incredibly vain and effeminate (he ''[[DisproportionateRetribution ran another driver off the rode for scratching his paint job]]''), but he actually wolf-whistled at Optimus Prime's alt, admiring his rims. The clincher on this is that he ''didn't admire Arcee's.''
* ''{{Tutenstein}}'': Luxor the cat shows signs of this in the "Cleo's Catastrophe" episode where he thinks about dating Jake.
* ''UglyAmericans'': Twayne is deliberately written as an ambiguous homosexual (or at least bisexual, given his attraction to Callie) as a running joke. He embodies a number of stereotypes about gay men, such as watching Oprah, being a poor athlete, and is even shown wearing a dress as a child. Additionally, most, if not all of his close friends are women and he even belongs to an all-female social club called "The Girls Club".
* ''WatershipDown'': Cowslip from the animated adaptation acts like an elderly gay gentleman. He gets very excited when Hazel says they have no does (female rabbits) with them; he also hates getting wet and often brushes his ears back like an effeminate man would do with his hair. He was possibly intended to be more "intellectual snob" than gay, but that's what the viewers saw there.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'':
** Carver is into fashion, especially shoes but also mostly all of it, and gets caught wearing and/or buying women's clothes repeatedly, claiming they're for his sister.
** Tino comes from a broken family, dominated by his trying-hard-to-be-unorthodox mother, and also has a very submissive/dependant personality that hints at a back-burner relationship or fascination with the local bully rough trade (as hinted at in said bully's not-declined offer of "Take me to the concert, and I'll beat you up" when Tino found that he had an extra ticket for a local concert... Tino's response was "I'll think it over").
* Jack Spicer of ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' has bundles of this. Girly scream and constantly worrying about his hair aside, his reactions towards [[MrFanservice Chase Young]] go far beyond admiration (one time his eyes changed into hearts) and is generally willing to do [[BastardBoyfriend anything for the man who only threatens him if he doesn't leave]]. Plus he gets the most HoYay[=/=]FoeYay with Omi and Chase.
* Dan of ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' gets a lot of HoYay with his best buddy Chris, but has also expressed an interest in women in at least one episode (Hortense from "Burgerphile" and "The Wedding").
