* Franchise/SpiderMan villain Mysterio is sort of this. In the mainstream comics he's rarely, if ever, shown any interest in women and has had a few hints over the years (plus the Spidey standard of occasional FoeYay). Some novels dropped the ambiguously part and made him explicitly gay; said novels are dubiously canon at best but pretty much everyone out-of-universe assumes he's gay at this point, even if the comics have yet to actually say it.

%% Jughead from ''ArchieComics'' was formerly listed here, but the suggestion was refuted by a MOUNTAIN of evidence that his dislike of girls was simple no-girls-allowed immaturity with no gay implication.
* Cacofonix from ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}''. He is the ''only'' male villager to have neither a wife nor occasional love interests, he plays up to stereotypes of [[AlwaysCamp camp, self-declared artists]], and in ''Asterix and the Secret Weapon'', while living in the forest with the rest of the village men in an all-male society, there are love letters pinned to his tree.
* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fame. Since Harley's transition from the Franchise/{{DCAU}} into canon comics, the writers have been seemingly trying to tear them apart and made it into a one-sided relationship on her part. Harley & Ivy both think that The Joker [[FoeYay only has eyes for Batman]]. Joker has often professed affection towards Batman (complete with moments of desperate attention-needing) and has made some awkward comments about [[{{Sidekick}} Robin's]] shorts and shaving habits. He seems to have quite a flirtatious love/hate thing for SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor as well. The Joker is also very keen on his appearance and once said he didn't want to see Batman until his nails were finished drying, and in another instant took off his pants in front of Onomatopoeia and told him that he "bottoms from the top". As counter-evidence, ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'' showed the not-yet Joker's pregnant wife saying that he was "good in bed", but the entire segment falls into his MultipleChoicePast. In ''Comicbook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'' Joker slaps Batman on the butt and continually hits on him throughout the comic. The pages are lined with homoerotic content and an unnatural level of sexual tension. (Arkham is non-canon, though its status as one of the iconic Joker portrayals means it can't be discounted because of that.)
** Various ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' media have run with this. ''Film/{{Batman}}'' (1989) shows that Jack Napier, the man who became the Joker, had more than a casual interest in art and was very keen on his appearance. In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', the Joker disguises himself as a white-skirted nurse to blow up a hospital and, in his last meeting with Batman, looks forward to many future encounters with him and tells him: "You complete me." ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'' has him bat his eyelashes when he sees his old mob boss for the first time in years.
** Batman himself borders on this or AmbiguouslyBi at times. Some writers make the Batman/Joker FoeYay go ''both ways'' (as if it wasn't disturbing enough) and portray Batman as having some bizarre obsession with the Joker. Frank Miller writes Batman as being gay but simply sublimating his sexual urges into crime fighting, which caused Miller to joke "He'd be a lot healthier if he was gay".
* ''ComicBook/TheCreeper''. With DC Comics' original run, this was probably unintentional, but it's difficult to believe that it was. The title character appears to be wearing nothing but boots, gloves, briefs, and a [[CampGay feather boa]], reveals himself (briefly) to be a masochist, and likes to shock his enemies with his flamboyant mannerisms. Somewhat less stereotypically, The Creeper's civilian persona, Jack Ryder, has a dislike bordering on hatred of female affection and immediately takes his male coworker up on his offer to buy an apartment together. His origin story explains his costume as being what he could drum up on short notice at a costume shop (all the good costumes were already rented, and what he got was a box of odds and ends) and his mannerisms as him realizing that the bad guys were freaked out by his appearance and deciding to just run with that. None of this is proof that Jack ''isn't'' gay, of course.
* ''Gil Thorp'': Lini Verde, a flashy-dressing ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fan who's also a clinch player for the basketball team. His sexual orientation hasn't been stated. The storyline involves a website that calls him unpleasant names, but the exact nature of those names is unrevealed (probably a good idea for all sorts of reasons). When one character suggests wearing pink to support him, she gets the response "This is about bullying, not ... ''[[UnusualEuphemism pinkness]]''!"
* ''It's Grim Up North London'': Jez and Quin in the Magazine/PrivateEye comic strip. Maybe they're a stereotyped gay couple; maybe they're an equally stereotyped pair of upper-middle-class artistic types, who happen to share a flat.
* In ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', Catman and Deadshot are initially [=BFFs=] who other characters jokingly say are in love, but the final issue implies that they may legitimately be in love with one another. WordOfGod confirmed that Catman at least is bisexual, while Deadshot's not so certain.
* The Creator/MarvelComics supervillain Man-Killer from ''Thunderbolts'' was... actually not that ambiguous, but the comics spent years not stating it directly. Aside from her name, her stereotypically butch appearance, and her firm rejection of any men who showed any interest in her, there's this little exchange from when she decided to try being a good guy.

--> '''Rorschach:''' He is pampered and decadent, betraying even his own shallow, liberal affectations. Possibly homosexual? Must remember to investigate further.
** Rorschach: The "holding a handshake too long" scene that demonstrates Nite Owl II's sexual tension for Silk Spectre II is mirrored later with confirmed bachelor Rorschach doing the exact same thing to Nite Owl II. Plus he has mommy-issues and possibly idolizes his dad.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Some of the Amazons are AmbiguouslyBi, the rest are Ambiguously Gay. Post-crisis, it is revealed that most residents of Themyscira are the immortal reincarnations of women who were wronged or abused by men and are all (mostly) misandric as a result, giving them a FreudianExcuse for avoiding men.
* The title character of ''ComicBook/YokoTsuno'' never appears to have a boyfriend, but she eagerly bonds with cute young women throughout the series, which makes quite a few fans wonder about her sexual orientation. In later albums the author tries to couple her with her best friend Vic, even though they don't even have a fraction of the chemistry Yoko has with some of the other girls -- [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship especially Ingrid]].

* The Wrestling/{{WWE}} tag team Billy & Chuck were ambiguously ManlyGay, from being spotted backstage oiling each other up and doing bizarre stretches, to their shiny red trunks and matching personalized headbands, to their boy-band entrance theme. This became less ambiguous when they planned a gay wedding, on television -- and then became outright subverted when they stopped said gay wedding to declare that the whole thing was a publicity stunt, and they weren't really gay, just HeterosexualLifePartners.
** Their manager [[Wrestling/RicoConstantino Rico]], who took their gimmick AND their theme song to whole new levels. The ''You Look So Good To Me'' theme has been used time and again in the WWE to mark a character as non-heteronormative. See [[Wrestling/SantinoMarella Marella, Santino]].
* While The Brooklyn Brawler's onscreen persona has always been a tough guy, an {{Urban Legend|s}} amongst longtime wrestling fans is that Wrestling/SteveLombardi is gay, rumored to be in a relationship with [[TransparentCloset Pat Patterson]].
* During a Wrestling/DGenerationX run, Wrestling/TripleH and Wrestling/ShawnMichaels seemed to pass off as convincing HeterosexualLifePartners at the very least. They only even somewhat pass because most viewers don't remember the original DX, where there was very little heterosexuality to be had, between Shawn kissing Hunter on national television numerous times and Hunter's infamous "bi" quote:
-->'''Wrestling/TripleH:''' I'm [[BiTheWay "bi" a lot of things]]. Lingual ain't one of them.
* Wrestling/TheFabulousOnes. They were a MrFanservice team marketed to adult women as ''Playgirl''-style sex symbols (as opposed to Wrestling/TheRockNRollExpress, who were a ''Tiger Beat'' team aimed toward teen girls), but some of their posed photos do seem to have a bit of HoYay in them.
* The Genius, when he managed [[Wrestling/CurtHennig Mr. Perfect]].
* Wrestling/{{Goldust}} from the WWE, even though his homosexual overtones are primarily mind games he plays with his opponents. One notable example is his feud with [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]], where in one match he rubbed Ramon's chest and freaked him out.

* [[Wrestling/LayCool Layla El and Michelle]] are very close, and it was Layla who suggested they go to couple's therapy. And then there's Layla's blatant dry humping Wrestling/KellyKelly and {{Wrestling/Natalya|Neidhart}} on TV.
* Too Much had "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor as tag team partners who were ''very'' concerned about each other's safety. Billy & Chuck's "wedding" angle was originally planned for Too Much, but was vetoed by Wrestling/JerryLawler (Brian Christopher's father) who was afraid his son's career would never recover. However, they found more success when the then-WWF repackaged them as the PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy team Too Cool, Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty and put them with Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}, and it got over much more than Too Much had.

* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' takes the perceived HoYay between Zero & X in ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and runs with it. While X and Zero angrily deny this, plenty of humor comes from them being way too affectionate and concerned with each other, and entering into oddly ambiguous banter. Many other characters often debate if they're gay or not the second they leave the room, and Bob at one point actually referred to them, upon their entrance, as "The Ambiguously Gay Duo".

* Budweiser ran one of their happy, feel-good ads where the first person that a male soldier calls to tell he's coming home is another guy who he also embraces first at his coming home party, even before his own parents.
* The Happy Chop could count, if it qualifies as ambiguous: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55VWTVSNyLk; "if you like small fruit... or even a big one!" and "can I say hard cheese on television?"]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
%% Jughead from ''ArchieComics'' was formerly listed here, but the suggestion was refuted by a MOUNTAIN of evidence that his dislike of girls was simple no-girls-allowed immaturity with no gay implication.
* Cacofonix from ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}''. He is the ''only'' male villager to have neither a wife nor occasional love interests, he plays up to stereotypes of [[AlwaysCamp camp, self-declared artists]], and in ''Asterix and the Secret Weapon'', while living in the forest with the rest of the village men in an all-male society, there are love letters pinned to his tree.
* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fame. Since Harley's transition from the Franchise/{{DCAU}} into canon comics, the writers have been seemingly trying to tear them apart and made it into a one-sided relationship on her part. Harley & Ivy both think that The Joker [[FoeYay only has eyes for Batman]]. Joker has often professed affection towards Batman (complete with moments of desperate attention-needing) and has made some awkward comments about [[{{Sidekick}} Robin's]] shorts and shaving habits. He seems to have quite a flirtatious love/hate thing for SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor as well. The Joker is also very keen on his appearance and once said he didn't want to see Batman until his nails were finished drying, and in another instant took off his pants in front of Onomatopoeia and told him that he "bottoms from the top". As counter-evidence, ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'' showed the not-yet Joker's pregnant wife saying that he was "good in bed", but the entire segment falls into his MultipleChoicePast. In ''Comicbook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'' Joker slaps Batman on the butt and continually hits on him throughout the comic. The pages are lined with homoerotic content and an unnatural level of sexual tension. (Arkham is non-canon, though its status as one of the iconic Joker portrayals means it can't be discounted because of that.)
** Various ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' media have run with this. ''Film/{{Batman}}'' (1989) shows that Jack Napier, the man who became the Joker, had more than a casual interest in art and was very keen on his appearance. In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', the Joker disguises himself as a white-skirted nurse to blow up a hospital and, in his last meeting with Batman, looks forward to many future encounters with him and tells him: "You complete me." ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'' has him bat his eyelashes when he sees his old mob boss for the first time in years.
** Batman himself borders on this or AmbiguouslyBi at times. Some writers make the Batman/Joker FoeYay go ''both ways'' (as if it wasn't disturbing enough) and portray Batman as having some bizarre obsession with the Joker. Frank Miller writes Batman as being gay but simply sublimating his sexual urges into crime fighting, which caused Miller to joke "He'd be a lot healthier if he was gay".
* ''ComicBook/TheCreeper''. With DC Comics' original run, this was probably unintentional, but it's difficult to believe that it was. The title character appears to be wearing nothing but boots, gloves, briefs, and a [[CampGay feather boa]], reveals himself (briefly) to be a masochist, and likes to shock his enemies with his flamboyant mannerisms. Somewhat less stereotypically, The Creeper's civilian persona, Jack Ryder, has a dislike bordering on hatred of female affection and immediately takes his male coworker up on his offer to buy an apartment together. His origin story explains his costume as being what he could drum up on short notice at a costume shop (all the good costumes were already rented, and what he got was a box of odds and ends) and his mannerisms as him realizing that the bad guys were freaked out by his appearance and deciding to just run with that. None of this is proof that Jack ''isn't'' gay, of course.
* ''Gil Thorp'': Lini Verde, a flashy-dressing ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fan who's also a clinch player for the basketball team. His sexual orientation hasn't been stated. The storyline involves a website that calls him unpleasant names, but the exact nature of those names is unrevealed (probably a good idea for all sorts of reasons). When one character suggests wearing pink to support him, she gets the response "This is about bullying, not ... ''[[UnusualEuphemism pinkness]]''!"
* ''It's Grim Up North London'': Jez and Quin in the Magazine/PrivateEye comic strip. Maybe they're a stereotyped gay couple; maybe they're an equally stereotyped pair of upper-middle-class artistic types, who happen to share a flat.
* In ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', Catman and Deadshot are initially [=BFFs=] who other characters jokingly say are in love, but the final issue implies that they may legitimately be in love with one another. WordOfGod confirmed that Catman at least is bisexual, while Deadshot's not so certain.
* The Creator/MarvelComics supervillain Man-Killer from ''Thunderbolts'' was... actually not that ambiguous, but the comics spent years not stating it directly. Aside from her name, her stereotypically butch appearance, and her firm rejection of any men who showed any interest in her, there's this little exchange from when she decided to try being a good guy.
-->'''[[FrenchJerk Cyclone]]:''' One more goes to the other side...\\
'''Man-Killer:''' I was ''born'' on that side, Frenchie.\\
'''Cyclone:''' I meant -- oh, never mind.
* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'':
** Adrian Veidt, of course. [[Film/{{Watchmen}} The movie version]] fits the trope fairly well, the book a bit less so.
--> '''Rorschach:''' He is pampered and decadent, betraying even his own shallow, liberal affectations. Possibly homosexual? Must remember to investigate further.
** Rorschach: The "holding a handshake too long" scene that demonstrates Nite Owl II's sexual tension for Silk Spectre II is mirrored later with confirmed bachelor Rorschach doing the exact same thing to Nite Owl II. Plus he has mommy-issues and possibly idolizes his dad.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Some of the Amazons are AmbiguouslyBi, the rest are Ambiguously Gay. Post-crisis, it is revealed that most residents of Themyscira are the immortal reincarnations of women who were wronged or abused by men and are all (mostly) misandric as a result, giving them a FreudianExcuse for avoiding men.
* The title character of ''ComicBook/YokoTsuno'' never appears to have a boyfriend, but she eagerly bonds with cute young women throughout the series, which makes quite a few fans wonder about her sexual orientation. In later albums the author tries to couple her with her best friend Vic, even though they don't even have a fraction of the chemistry Yoko has with some of the other girls -- [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship especially Ingrid]].

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* The Wrestling/{{WWE}} tag team Billy & Chuck were ambiguously ManlyGay, from being spotted backstage oiling each other up and doing bizarre stretches, to their shiny red trunks and matching personalized headbands, to their boy-band entrance theme. This became less ambiguous when they planned a gay wedding, on television -- and then became outright subverted when they stopped said gay wedding to declare that the whole thing was a publicity stunt, and they weren't really gay, just HeterosexualLifePartners.
** Their manager [[Wrestling/RicoConstantino Rico]], who took their gimmick AND their theme song to whole new levels. The ''You Look So Good To Me'' theme has been used time and again in the WWE to mark a character as non-heteronormative. See [[Wrestling/SantinoMarella Marella, Santino]].
* While The Brooklyn Brawler's onscreen persona has always been a tough guy, an {{Urban Legend|s}} amongst longtime wrestling fans is that Wrestling/SteveLombardi is gay, rumored to be in a relationship with [[TransparentCloset Pat Patterson]].
* During a Wrestling/DGenerationX run, Wrestling/TripleH and Wrestling/ShawnMichaels seemed to pass off as convincing HeterosexualLifePartners at the very least. They only even somewhat pass because most viewers don't remember the original DX, where there was very little heterosexuality to be had, between Shawn kissing Hunter on national television numerous times and Hunter's infamous "bi" quote:
-->'''Wrestling/TripleH:''' I'm [[BiTheWay "bi" a lot of things]]. Lingual ain't one of them.
* Wrestling/TheFabulousOnes. They were a MrFanservice team marketed to adult women as ''Playgirl''-style sex symbols (as opposed to Wrestling/TheRockNRollExpress, who were a ''Tiger Beat'' team aimed toward teen girls), but some of their posed photos do seem to have a bit of HoYay in them.
* The Genius, when he managed [[Wrestling/CurtHennig Mr. Perfect]].
* Wrestling/{{Goldust}} from the WWE, even though his homosexual overtones are primarily mind games he plays with his opponents. One notable example is his feud with [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]], where in one match he rubbed Ramon's chest and freaked him out.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH4n-2gvjRQ The New Generation]].
* [[Wrestling/LayCool Layla El and Michelle]] are very close, and it was Layla who suggested they go to couple's therapy. And then there's Layla's blatant dry humping Wrestling/KellyKelly and {{Wrestling/Natalya|Neidhart}} on TV.
* Too Much had "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor as tag team partners who were ''very'' concerned about each other's safety. Billy & Chuck's "wedding" angle was originally planned for Too Much, but was vetoed by Wrestling/JerryLawler (Brian Christopher's father) who was afraid his son's career would never recover. However, they found more success when the then-WWF repackaged them as the PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy team Too Cool, Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty and put them with Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}, and it got over much more than Too Much had.

* ''Radio/RoundTheHorne'' has Julian and Sandy: a couple of out-of-work actors, though they could [[DoubleEntendre turn their hand to anything]].

* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' takes the perceived HoYay between Zero & X in ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and runs with it. While X and Zero angrily deny this, plenty of humor comes from them being way too affectionate and concerned with each other, and entering into oddly ambiguous banter. Many other characters often debate if they're gay or not the second they leave the room, and Bob at one point actually referred to them, upon their entrance, as "The Ambiguously Gay Duo".
-->'''Protoman:''' Okay, to turn it off, [[ItMakesSenseInContext all we need to do is press Zero's left boob-light]].\\
