* Reiji (Rage) from the ''{{Gravitation}}'' manga series is a robot panda-driving YaoiFangirl FagHag fixated on Shuichi, even following him from America and becoming his band's manager because of this obsession.

* Comedienne MargaretCho is a self-described fag hag, which she claims stems from growing up in San Francisco and being raised almost exclusively by gay men, since she bonded with the gay kids at her school because they were outcasts just as much as she was for being overweight and Asian. "They say certain smells bring you back to your childhood. Well, the smell that brings me back is balls in panty hose!" She went on to talk about how "We were your date to the prom, and dragged your sorry asses through the Underground Railroad..." Cho can be described as the patron saint of Fag Hags.

* {{Diamanda Galas}}.

* The love interest in ''ComicBook/KickAss'' befriends the main character because she thinks he's gay and always wanted a gay friend.

* ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164024/ Fag Hag]]'', obviously.

Fag Hags are stereotypically portrayed as overweight. At best, she's a classy [[BigBeautifulWoman BBW]]; at worst, she's a neurotic drama queen who is either promiscuous or perpetually single. In many cases, the Hag started hanging out with her gay friend because she was attracted to him, before he turns her down for [[IncompatibleOrientation obvious reasons]] (wishful thinking will ignore even the most FlamboyantGay characteristics). The friendship lasts however, and some Fag Hags even seek out gay men--either because they find them nonthreatening or as [[TheNotLoveInterest a replacement for a 'proper' straight relationship.]] Gays who enjoy the company of these ladies do so for similar reasons, but it isn't uncommon for a gay man to see his Hag as a sort of maternal figure, especially if she's older than him and/or if his own mother rejected him.

* [[DistractedByMyOwnSexy Amy]] [[{{Tsundere}} Pond]] from ''Series/DoctorWho'' thought that her chldhood friend, [[TheChewToy Rory]], was gay, and she thought that she was this for years. [[SingleTargetSexuality She couldn't have been more wrong]].

* Possibly Coco from the SLG WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} comics. But then, considering how gargoyles raise their young, Coco and Staghart may consider each other brother and sister.

* {{Parodied|Trope}} in ''KissKissBangBang''; Harry, after working closely with "Gay" Perry, ends up being humorously called out as a fag hag by Perry come the conclusion.

** ''GimmeGimmeGimme'' subverts ''Series/WillAndGrace'' in a very British way; it throws together an appalling gay man and a sociopathic straight woman, possibly because nobody else would care to share a grotty rented flat with them.

This trope has been heavily stereotyped in RealLife on all sides. A woman with a gay friend ''at all'' is often called a Fag Hag even if they simply enjoy each other's company with no ulterior motives. Some women, however, see all gay men as possible {{Pet Homosexual}}s, even though the men in question might find this patronizing. And lastly, by no means do all gay men enjoy female company; at best, some simply get along better with other men, and at worst they can be as [[HeManWomanHater misogynistic as a straight male misogynist]].

* Two such relationships in the BridgetJones films and books

* The StarWarsExpandedUniverse gives us, of all people, Boba Fett. At the beginning of ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'', his only friends are Goran Beviin and his [[PronounTrouble spouse]], Madrit Vasur. Yes, gays in the ''StarWars'' universe might seem controversial, but it's overshadowed by [[ShotaCon other things]].
* Common insult to the women in Brett Easton Ellis's ''Literature/TheRulesOfAttraction''.

* The love interest in ''ComicBook/{{Kick-Ass}}'' befriends the main character because she thinks he's gay and always wanted a gay friend.
