* By far the most depressing example is ''INowPronounceYouChuckAndLarry'': the two characters that are (pretending) to be gay never kiss each other even during their own wedding ceremony (they hit each other instead). Why? Because the MPAA threatened to give them an 'R' rating and Adam Sandler pussied out.

What on earth... the tag reads "this isn't a trope, it's an opinion." "Gay couples have less visible romances than straight couples within a particular work" is an "opinion"... how, exactly? Of course it's a trope. It could probably be expressed with numbers and equations if someone wanted to badly enough. It's not all that subjective at all.

[[AC: {{Fanfiction}}]]
* There's an in-universe example from [[http://www.baseportal.de/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/honeycakehorse/Circles_of_Power Circles of Power]]. After they have graduated from Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Dean, Seamus and Neville all share a house. Harry and Ron also happen to be a couple, and there's a house rule that they are not to show affection towards each other when there's other people around. In the beginning no one really seems to think it's strange, but toward the end it becomes an isse. At one point, Ron gets scolded for putting his arm around Harry's shoulders, at the same time as Seamus is getting it on with his latest girlfriend on the living room sofa without anyone saying anything about it. It ultimately leads to a fight between Ron and Seamus who, as it turns out, is the only one who really has anything against Harry and Ron showing affection.

** It wasn't until the two very last seasons that he could actually kiss someone (the early kiss with Jack doesn't count, seeing as that was an eyes-open smack on the lips) - the last season was the only time he could have a proper, ''goddamn finally'' make out with a SpecialGuestStar.

* PrettyLittleLiars, in the series at least. While all of the other girls' got an average of two fairly steamy make out sessions a piece, Emily's share consisted of one kiss early on and one make out session in one of the last episodes, in between which she and her love interest barely talked due to a serious lack of communication about how open they should be.

* The now discontinued sitcom ''The Class'' has a very jarring scene where one half of a gay couple finds out that his partner [[ComedicSociopathy sabotaged a school application for a friend because they didn't want to spend more time with her]]. the punchline to this is his reaction to this: exclaiming "I've never loved you more!" and then ... give his partner a hug and a peck on the cheek. Shortly afterwards he was PutOnABus, leaving his partner free to make plenty of comments about his sexuality and their love life without having to actually show anything.
