* ''WebVideo/{{Kontrola}}'': Majka's sister realizes from her the way her face lights up whenever Natalia's near her that Majka loves her. She doesn't mind at all.

->'''Kurt:''' Dad... I have something I want to say. I'm glad that you are proud of me...but I don't want to lie anymore. Being part of the Glee club and football has really shown me that I can be anything. And...what I am...is...I'm gay.\\

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Shore Leave and Sky Pilot from the O.S.I. were this when they briefly appeared during the season three finale, having apparently transformed into born-again Christians who'd banished their "demons" through prayer and faith. As it turned out, [[spoiler:they were faking it so the Hunter Gathers [[ThePlan could get Brock enlisted in the fight against un-unionized supervillains]]]].

* ''Webcomic/YellowBrickRamble'': The entire premise of this comic is a retelling of the second ''Literature/LandOfOz'' novel, ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'', from the TransAudienceInterpretation. At the start of the comic, Tippetarius "Tip" Tryfle is a closeted in-denial transgirl, but her closet is definitely made of glass. During the comic's early chapters, before Tip begins her transition from male to female, she encounters four major characters, Mombi, Jack, Logan, and Jinjur, all of whom figure out that Tip is a girl well before Tip does.

** Andrew Wells. Before his coming-out in season 10 it was already heavily, ''heavily'' implied that Andrew is gay and [[UnrequitedLove in love]] with [[JerkAss Warren]]. Issue 3 of Season 8 has him saying he's bored since all the Slayers (all female, all very fit) want to do is play strip poker. There are also some of his actions in his appearances in Season 5 of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' and a flashback in season 7 had him and Jonathan sharing a bed in Mexico. When finally confessing he might be gay he follows it up by saying "That can't be right. I would have known before now", before finally identifying as gay after kissing a man.

** Hawkins Fuller's father is well aware that he's gay and is ashamed of it, wanting an apology from him over this when he's dying. He remarks that Hawk wasn't good at concealing his homosexuality because he had to endure rumors about his homosexual son.

** Hawk's wife Lucy, unbeknownst to him at first, learned he was gay in the 1950s when she once accidentally intercepted a letter his ex-boyfriend Tim sent him. This, along with their sex life being less than regular, tipped her off that she'd been TheBeard to him.

** Miss Addison suspects that Hawk and Timothy Laughlin are a couple after she reads the dedication the latter wrote in a book he gave to the former ("Mr. Fuller, thank you for everything. You're wonderful."), and she reports Hawk as a possible homosexual to the M Unit in episode 4.

* Subverted in ''Fanfic/{{Metamorphosis}}''. Yumi worries that her attraction to women is obvious, but Sei tells her that, as a gay woman herself, she just has a good {{gaydar}}.

* The whole premise of ''Manga/MiyukiChanInWonderland'' by Creator/{{CLAMP}}, which follows the titular Miyuki through a perpetual sequence of HomoeroticDream after HomoeroticDream. You'd think having dreams about sexy women doing sexy things to her every night would clue her in, but no.

* At the start of ''Literature/AdachiAndShimamura'', Adachi is in the closet. Very poorly in the closet, as she constantly has [[HomoeroticDream homoerotic dreams and fantasies]] about her (female) classmate Shimamura and can regularly be seen [[FemaleGaze oogling her]] from a distance. She mostly fools only herself, and does so with downright hilarious amounts of mental gymnastics:
