* In post-hiatus ''{{Fans}}!'', due to a totally broken {{masquerade}} and a well-respected polyamorous "triad," the hot-button issues seem to be ''polygamous'' and ''vampire'' marriage. Gay marriage hasn't been mentioned, although it's been implied gay rights have made impressive leaps over the TimeSkip. A point of irony is that both [[Literature/{{Twilight}} vampires]] and [[UnfortunateImplications polygamists]] seem to enjoy Mormon ''support''.

* K'seliss the lizardman has an embarrassing instinctual reflex happen when he's threatened by mechanical bugs in the current dungeon crawl in Goblins; his head crest raises. Since he'd previously said that he doesn't "swing that way" (he only kills what he can eat, and considers fighting, eating and sex to be subsets of the same category,) he blames his reaction to inedible war machines to be caused by thinking of a "battle he had AGES ago." And he takes time out to see if the other party members have noticed his gallant reflex.
* ''WebComic/OzyAndMillie'' turned a MattressTagGag into one of these; Llewellyn (who has declared his property to be a sovereign country) decides to legalize cutting tags off mattresses. The U.S. is not happy with this, and ends up deploying border patrols to prevent people from smuggling mattresses between the two countries. In case you're confused, this arc was written around the time Canada was considering legalizing marijuana. (It failed, but still.)
* In ''WebComic/{{Homestuck}}'', the other trolls make fun of Karkat's tiny horn size. Karkat also has an unusual blood colour, which he believes is unnatural and destined to get him persecuted in society, and so 'closets' himself by using grey as his signature colour and getting extremely defensive whenever anyone talks about blood.
** Much of the humor from troll-human conversations comes from the trolls not caring about homosexuality or incest, but getting very uncomfortable when someone mentions... buckets.
* ''ErrantStory'' has a few of these, one of the better ones coming when Sarine [[http://www.errantstory.com/2007-03-26/637 observes]] Jon fondling her MagicSword, which has the cool property of expanding from a small crystal to a taut, vibrating focus for magical energy when turned on (so to speak).
