[[DudeShesALesbian Dude, She's a Lesbian]] is when one person attempts to hit on another person, and a third person informs him or her of his IncompatibleOrientation. This could lead to some awkwardness.

Besides the person informing of the IncompatibleOrientation being different, there are several differences between the trope SorryImGay. First of all, this could be said after Alice, a lesbian, walks away from Bob. Also, Alice could be in the closet, and only Carl knows her secret. Or also, Alice is a TransparentCloset.

Then he struts along the bar over to them, leans over casually and says, "So, girls... [[CompletelyMissingThePoint what part of Lesbia are you from?]]"

* Subverted in ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', when TheFlash is admiring his newest crush, Fire, from afar as she converses with her gal-pal Ice. Hawkgirl notices him and teases: "Of course, you may be wasting your time. I hear she's, y'know... ''Brazilian''."
