* {{Gaydar}}:
** Nathan's mother claims to have honed hers through working as a teacher: "Sometimes there's a boy and it's just ''shining'' out of him".
** The main characters in the US version have had a heterosexual person try to seduce them many times. Other times they fancy someone from the same gender who turned them down due to IncompatibleOrientation: David, Ethan, Ben, also [[spoiler: Drew]]...
** Nathan with his supportive mother, homophobic father and bullying classmates.
** Justin has all three of the traditional dramatic points. Homophobic parent? Check. Supportive parent? Check. Hate crime? CHECK.
* DrugsAreBad:
** Phil Delaney (a supporting character in the UK version) tried drugs for the first time with one of his tricks [[spoiler: and it ends up killing him]].
** The [[strike:MDMA]] worming tablets Stuart is sold, which lead him to drawing the Shag Map: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "It's the pens! I need to get rid of the pens!"]]
** Ben's use of steroids; Ted's season one hospitalization and season three addiction; Blake's addiction.
** Much drug use never has consequences, though. One position on drugs is stated by Brian: "Only do drugs with your friends, because they're the only ones who give a shit about you."
* FagHag:
** Hazel (Vince's mother), who regards her son's coming out as a turning point in her life, allowing her to get involved in the gay scene herself.
** Debbie (Michael's mother), who probably qualifies as the Queen of the Fag Hags.

* {{Gaydar}}: How many times could we see someone heterosexual trying to seduce or drooling after a main character? And how many times could we see a main character fancying someone from the same gender who turned them down due to IncompatibleOrientation? David? Gay. Ethan, Ben? What a surprise, gay. Not to mention [[spoiler: Drew]]...

* AllGaysArePromiscuous:
** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in the UK version. Stuart definitely fits this bill...but he's shown to have some deep-seated psychological insecurities. Vince also seems to fit this, but he's emulating Stuart and has the least amount of hookups (and one serious boyfriend). [[spoiler: They also both settle down together]]. Stuart's views seem lean this way, though. He accuses Vince of being a straight guy who has sex with men because he wants a relationship instead of casual sex.
** In the US version, Michael's relationships are the only completely monogamous ones on the show, and even he goes for random hook-ups when single. Notably Mel and Lindsay, in spite of occasional infidelities and one threesome, show much less inclination to promiscuity on the whole. The show's official philosophy seems not so much to be that gays are promiscuous, but that men are.
