| 13 | The overwhelming majority of fictional works center around heterosexual characters, with anyone else being a {{token minority}} or nonexistent. Some gay-themed media, however, does the exact opposite by making most (if not all) of the characters gay or otherwise non-heterosexual. As such, it will generally have a wider variety of QueerAsTropes instead of pigeonholing the characters into one particular stereotype, sometimes making the characters into sort of a gay FiveTokenBand. The few token straight characters that appear will usually be {{fag hag}}s, dyke tykes, token homophobes, or family members of the main characters. Predictably the [[BuryYourGays mortality rate of gay characters]] tends to drop significantly in cases where most of the cast is gay, while the chance of a Happy Ending increases. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | This is a common result of [[WriteWhatYouKnow the writers being gay or bisexual themselves]], but writing in the YaoiGenre and YuriGenre, or the author (and the audience) being a {{Yaoi Fan|girl}} or a YuriFan, straight writers can create works that fulfill this trope as well. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | While some examples center more around bisexual characters, this is distinct from EveryoneIsBi, in which gender and sexual orientation are simply treated as a non-issue. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Despite what you might expect from the oft-referenced 10% statistic, this is reasonably common in RealLife, since people typically build social circles around shared perspectives and experiences, meaning that a gay character with a mostly queer supporting cast is as much to be expected as a soldier character with a mostly military supporting cast. And if the work is set in a {{Gayborhood}} it's even more likely. |

| 22 | ---- |
| 23 | !!Examples: |
| 24 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 25 | |
| 26 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 27 | * ''Manga/WifeAndWife'', being about a 'de facto married' lesbian couple, and their lesbian neighbors, is very obviously this. |
| 28 | * ''Sons of Eve'', a manga by ''Manga/FromEroicaWithLove'' creator Aoike Yasuko. There is only 1 heterosexual, and maybe 2 bisexual characters in the entire series, and this includes one-shot characters. |
| 29 | * ''Manga/CreoTheCrimsonCrises'' has enough of its cast lesbian to make an all girl LoveDodecahedron. |
| 30 | * ''Anime/{{ICE|2007}}''; when there are no men anymore, what or rather who are the remaining women to do? |
| 31 | * ''Manga/IonoTheFanatics'' and ''Manga/TheMikosWordsAndTheWitchesIncantations'', both by Creator/MiyabiFujieda. The former has the eponymous queen's lesbian harem number somewhere in the ''thousands''. |
| 32 | * ''Manga/KuroganePukapukaTai'', an ImprobablyFemaleCast in which only one female character has been shown to have interest in men. |
| 33 | * ''Shojo Sect'' is set at an AllGirlSchool and consists of a series of short stories about different pairings at the school. The protagonist, Momoko, even [[TeacherStudentRomance briefly has an affair with her homeroom teacher]], Ms. Hayato. Though the crux of the series centers on [[{{deuteragonist}} Shinobu]] as she pines after Momoko and [[WillTheyOrWontThey her attempts to get Momoko to realize her feelings for her.]] |
| 34 | * ''Manga/KiniroMosaic'' has an all-female cast with every girl paired with someone, no exceptions, to the point that the author invented some girls half into the manga so the characters that were alone at the start, aren't anymore after the 2nd half. |
| 35 | * ''Manga/OtomeKikanGretel'' outdoes even ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'' as every character shown has to be a girl interested in other girls. |
| 36 | * The anime ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' has a huge [[ImprobablyFemaleCast mostly female cast]]. Within the cast, the girls show a fair bit of romantic interest in each other and absolutely no interest in any guy. (Yuuki forms an exception as she seems to be the token heterosexual girl). |
| 37 | * ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' has a near-entirely bisexual cast, although one could assume this is just the norm in a setting based entirely on sexual metaphors. |
| 38 | * ''Manga/WhisperedWords'' centres on a group of highschool lesbians who form a clique together. |
| 39 | * ''Manga/StrawberryShakeSweet'', about an idol at a talent agency. She's gay, her junior's gay by the end of the manga, her hair dresser's gay, her hair dresser's StalkerWithACrush is gay, the person two levels below her manager is gay, and the random photographer who takes Ran's picture is gay, and the random model is gay, and the only band in the entire world is composed of four lesbians. In fact, the only recurring character who ''isn't'' gay is her aforementioned manager--and that's PlayedForLaughs. |
| 40 | * ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' has almost all of its ImprobablyFemaleCast members showing attraction towards females ranging from [[HoYay subtle]] to overt. |
| 41 | * ''Anime/{{Vandread}}''. Justified in that the main cast comes from planets that are all female and all male. |
| 42 | * ''Manga/YuruYuri'' has a main cast of eight girls, all but one of whom have romantic connections to at least one of the others. |
| 43 | * ''Manga/{{Chintsubu}}'' has a cast of four boys, all of whom are either gay or bi. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/MiyukiChanInWonderland''. All the characters are women... and all want to jump Miyuki's bones. |
| 45 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' is the closest you can get without frequent on-screen makeouts. In TheOriginalSeries, the manga, the spin-offs, the games ([[http://lovemedont.tumblr.com/post/70400905837/ especially]] ''The Battle Pentagram''), the movies, and an endless array of shippy official art, all of the girls show lots of attraction towards and interest in other girls, and the staff themselves ship Homura/Madoka and Kyoko/Sayaka. Even Hitomi, originally the token straight girl, is shown in [[VideoGame/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaPortable the PSP game]] to be attracted to Homura. |
| 46 | * ''Manga/SakuraTrick'' has an all-female cast, and, well, Haruka and Yuu are a couple, as are Shizuku and Kotone. Yuzu and Kaede ''aren't'', but they are a pair of close friends with no noticeable interest in guys that willingly hang out with a group of lesbians, [[spoiler:and they do end up as a couple in the end]]. The only other major character, Mitsuki, has a crush on Haruka. |
| 47 | * In ''Manga/OnePiece'' Amazon Lily has only female citizens, and the only way of reproduction is leaving the island with the pirate crew and coming back with newborn daughters. Thanks to Empress Boa Hancock being the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, everybody on Amazon Lily is lesbian for her. |
| 48 | * ''Manga/KissAndWhiteLilyForMyDearestGirl'' tells the budding or already formed love stories of several couple of girls in an ElaborateUniversityHigh. By volume 5, Yurine and her sister love the model student Ayaka, Ayaka struggles very hard to not love Yurine, track team star Mizuki and manager Moe love each other, so do Yukina and Towako from the gardening club, Chiharu loves her senpai Maya, Izumi loves her senpai Chiharu, Kaoru has a heavily implied crush on her classmate Yurine and freshman Itsuki has apparently loved her childhood friend Sawa since before grade school. The only odd one out is Chiharu's friend Ai, who doesn't seem romantically involved with any girl. Yet. |
| 49 | * ''Manga/{{Yuyushiki}}'' has an all-female cast, with everyone wanting to get in Yui's pants, and there's some crushes between other girls, like Kei towards Aikawa. |
| 50 | * Almost all the major male characters in ''Manga/{{Yuureitou}}'' have some level of male attraction. Marube is a DepravedBisexual, Tetsuo says he's straight but [[IfItsYouItsOkay falls for Amano]], Yamashina is attracted to men (and boys), and Amano originally likes Tetsuo as a woman but accepts him as a man but still likes him. |
| 51 | * In the {{Yuri}} Manga/OtomeNoTeikoku almost all of the main characters tend to be more interested in their own gender than the opposite |
| 52 | * ''Manga/PrunusGirl'' has Shion and Kana, a very outward lesbian couple, Non who's a HopelessSuitor for Shion, two teachers that also turn out to be lesbian, and [[WholesomeCrossdresser not-girl]] Kizuna who has seemingly turned the entire male population of the school gay. The other main character Maki tries his hardest [[StupidSexyFlanders to persuade himself that his attraction toward Kizuna is not romantic.]] The remaining straight characters are a YaoiFangirl and a girl [[BrotherSisterIncest in love with her twin brother.]] |
| 53 | * Every named character in ''Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid'' is a lesbian. |
| 54 | * ''Anime/LegendOfTheBlueWolves'': Pretty much every character given screen time is gay-[[DepravedHomosexual Captain Continental and his subordinates]] and the more sympathetic [[StarCrossedLovers Leonard and Jonathan]]. |
| 55 | * ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has managed to develop a strong following among LGBT fans, thanks to a cast of attractive characters prone to HoYay, and several canon LGBT characters. The series includes the bisexual (or possibly pansexual) Tsukiyama, Naki who has complicated feelings towards his old leader Yamori, Shousei who describes Naki with a romantic wording and Miza even says Naki has the love of his male subordinates, Touka who is described as having feelings of love for Kaneki and her friend Yoriko to an extent, homosexual Drag Queen Nico, possibly bisexual Uta, DepravedBisexual Nutcracker (she goes after guys but also flirts with a woman before killing her) and Eto (is implied to have a homicidal crush on Kaneki and gets ominously intimate with Kanae), and leaves a rather ambiguous situation concerning Juuzou's gender identity and Abara's (Suzuya's male subordinate) implied feelings for him. The sequel has earned considerable praise for revealing Tooru Mutsuki to be a transgender man, portraying him in a respectful and accurate fashion. [[spoiler: His feelings of love towards Sasaki as revealed in chapter 114 help.]] Big Madam is also hinted in the sequel as being a trans woman as she is referred to with male pronouns at her death with incestuous feelings for her adopted son Suzuya. Also, Matsuri is revealed to be gay and in love with Urie. Among the new Quinx, Hsiao is hinted to have a crush on Saiko, Hige is admiring of both male and female coworkers, and Saiko states she's willing to be anyone's bride no matter their gender. |
| 56 | * ''Manga/LoveGeneXX'' is an interesting example of this. Despite every character being female, they're divided up into Adams (essentially men) and Eves (essentially women), with relationships between two Adams being seen as forbidden. Even considering all of that, there is only one Adam-Eve couple amongst the protagonists by the end of the series, with there being more examples of Adam-Adam couples (and one Eve-Eve couple, although it's not stated whether there's a similar stigma towards that kind of pairing). A major part of the GayAesop is for our heroes to convince their society that their setting is one of these, and that they don't need to copy straight people when there's actually no need to. |
| 57 | * ''Manga/{{Murcielago}}'' stars the [[ReallyGetsAround lecherous]] PsychoLesbian [[TheCasanova Casanova]], Kuroka Koumori. So every time a new cute girl is introduced, Kuroka has a new romantic conquest soon after. Although even side characters she's not involved with tend to be attracted to other women. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/LoveMeForWhoIAm'': The protagonist, Mogumo, is invited to work at a maid cafe by a classmate who thinks it will fulfill Mogumo's wish of finding people who understand them. The cafe is a "girlyboy" cafe and every employee falls somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The owner, Satori, and another employee, Mei, are transgender women. Suzu is a gay male and finds the cafe a place where he can openly talk about his boyfriend. Ten seems to prefer wearing cute clothing, regardless of whether they're masculine or feminine. Mogumo is nonbinary and Tetsu, the classmate that invited them to the cafe, develops feelings for them but is otherwise uncertain of his sexuality. Finally there's Kotone, a childhood friend of Mogumo's, who used Mogumo as [[spoiler:a means of denial for her own attraction to girls]]. |
| 59 | * ''Manga/KanojoNiNaritaiKimiToBoku'' is about an AmbiguouslyGay girl named Hime with SingleTargetSexuality towards her UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} {{childhood friend|Romance}} Akira. On top of that, she makes friends with [[spoiler:Yukka]], who fell in love with a female classmate in the past, and [[spoiler:Hime's math teacher]] is an UsefulNotes/{{aromantic}} UsefulNotes/{{asexual}}. |
| 60 | * ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'' features at least four lesbians and one aromantic asexual boy. |
| 61 | * Parodied in a Tabletop RPG in chapter 13 of ''Manga/DontBecomeAnOtakuShinozakiSan'', where every single character the players encounter is homosexual. This is hardly surprising, since it's a custom campaign and at least three of the four playing are {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s. Learning this is also true of the campaign's BigBad is the key to ending the campaign non-violently. |
| 62 | * Like ''Madoka'', ''Anime/SK8TheInfinity'' seems to be the closest a CastFullOfPrettyBoys anime can get without on-screen kissing or explicit confirmation. While the [[DepravedHomosexual antagonist Adam]] [[HideYourGays is the only one]] who openly equates skating with male characters to dates, weddings and the concept of "love," a majority of the main cast (Langa, Reki, Cherry, Tadashi, and even Shadow in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment) seem to be AmbiguouslyGay or AmbiguouslyBi, and with more heavy intent than typical series with a CastFullOfPrettyBoys, as Langa expresses that Reki is his ImpliedLoveInterest several times, and the two have a [[spoiler:[[BoyMeetsGirl Boy Meets Boy storyline]]]] throughout the series with a lot of romantic overtones. The English dub even ups the ante by taking the resident ChickMagnet Joe from low-key ambiguous to high-key a la Reki. [[WordOfSaintPaul His English voice actor]] has said that for Joe's subtle ShipperOnDeck scenes with Langa and Reki, he intentionally voiced Joe in a supportive role of someone who wanted to make two closeted characters feel safe, and sees their interactions in that kind of BigBrotherMentor way. |
| 63 | * ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' highkey throws heterosexuality being the norm into the trash. With canon gay couple Victor and Yuuri, fan-favorite ships Otabek/Yuri and Leo/Guang, and almost everyone else showing same-gender attraction in some way, the only character who ''hasn't'' been in a gay ship is Georgi. He's considered the token straight. Even Takeshi Nishigori, who's ''in a heterosexual marriage'', has shown signs of being bi. |
| 64 | [[/folder]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 67 | * In most of the comics by the German cartoonist Ralf König, the main characters are all gay men. He has even been accused of being a bit of a sexist, since the supporting female characters that appear in his comics tend not to be shown in a positive light. |
| 68 | * The message boards of ''ComicBook/PrideHigh'' consist overwhelmingly of gay characters. And since these characters are often given cameos instead of generic extras in the actual comic, Poseidon Prep may be the gayest superhero school in exstance. |
| 69 | * ''Small Favors'', on top of having an all-lesbian cast, [[LadyLand there aren't even any men among the background characters or mentioned in dialogue]]. |
| 70 | * ''ComicBook/{{Circles}}'' is a gay UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} comic book series featuring 6 gay men living in one apartment building. Even beyond this, a questionable number of shopkeepers and friends also seem to be gay. |
| 71 | * Another well-known Furry comic ''ComicBook/AssociatedStudentBodies'' also falls victim to this trope, but as it's gay-themed erotic fiction this was probably to be expected. |
| 72 | * Nearly every female character in ''ComicBook/TankVixens'' is either a lesbian or bisexual. And one who was supposedly straight came out of the closet in the second issue. |
| 73 | * As with most Transformers fiction, the cast of ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' is predominantly male, and the writers have introduced multiple romantic relationships among the cast without adjusting the gender disparity at all. As a matter of fact, although there are female Transformers onboard the ''Lost Light'', the vast majority of the relationships have been between male characters; for bonus points, two of those female characters - Anode and Lug - are trans lesbians who are very much in love. |
| 74 | * Creator/KieronGillen's run on ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers''. By the end the team consists of Wiccan and Hulkling (gay couple), Miss America (lesbian, had experimented with a guy but didn't like it), Prodigy (bisexual), Speed (bisexual), Noh-Varr (bisexual), Loki (nonbinary, bisexual, and the literal patron god of queer people), [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Kate Bishop]], who was the only member who openly identified herself as straight. It's important to mention that, while there's a teasing line from America that points out Kate sometimes look at her in a particular way, Kieron Gillen himself has come out plenty of times to clarify that orientation is a matter of personal choice and that since Kate identified herself as straight, then she was straight, with America letting out the tease [[ItAmusedMe for the reaction]]. |
| 75 | * Of the thirteen protagonists of ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'', five are bi, [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} one is ace]], one is a trans lesbian, and [[IfItsYouItsOkay one "prefers guys" but is willing to kiss or sleep with girls on occasion]]. [[WeHardlyKnewYe We have no clue about Tara]], and Minerva is only thirteen and is more preoccupied with her impending death than with her sexuality. The Morrigan and Baph are dating and are presumably straight, and TokenEvilTeammate Woden is heterosexual. |
| 76 | * ''ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells'' features several characters who are canonically lesbian or bisexual in the main DC universe (Batwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Wonder Woman) but also gives an explicit lesbian or bisexual AdaptationalSexuality change to other characters who in mainstream continuity are entirely straight or only the subject of HomoeroticSubtext (Mera). |
| 77 | * The main DC universe itself seems to follow a toned down version of this trope as of ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', but ''only'' as regards female characters with lesbians and bisexual women vastly outnumbering gay and bisexual men as both main characters and supporting cast. Of the five female solo books two focus on bisexual heroines (Harley Quinn - who is in a relationship with the aforementioned Poison Ivy - and Wonder Woman), two on straight heroines (Batgirl and Supergirl) and one on a lesbian heroine (Batwoman). Major supporting lesbian or bisexual characters include Catwoman (who is really an A-lister but as of 2018 not cast in a solo title), Maggie Sawyer, Renee Montoya, [[AdaptationalSexuality Maxima]], Traci 13 and Natasha Irons. |
| 78 | * ''ComicBook/TheBackstagers'': Out of the main cast, Jory is bi, Hunter is gay, and Sasha is described as "anime," though it has been shown that he is attracted to men in the Valentine's Intermission issue. Aziz is the only cis and straight guy of the cast, since while Beckett is also into girls, he's trans. The supporting cast has the male stage managers Timothy and Jamie as a couple, and faculty advisor Rample is also gay. |
| 79 | * With ''ComicBook/{{Fence}}'', it's more of a case of who ''isn't'' gay. |
| 80 | * ''ComicBook/LauraDeanKeepsBreakingUpWithMe'': Freddy and her on-off girlfriend Laura Dean are both lesbians, and nearly all of Freddy's friends (and thus, nearly all of the name characters) are confirmed to be queer in one way or another. Justified by the setting being the real life {{gayborhood}} of Berkeley. |
| 81 | * Of its seven members, ''ComicBook/XFactor2020'' features two bisexual men (Daken and Prodigy), one gay man (Northstar), and one AmbiguouslyBi woman (Prestige.) Though not part of the team proper, Northstar's husband is also part of the main cast. |
| 82 | [[/folder]] |
| 83 | |
| 84 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 85 | * ''ComicStrip/DykesToWatchOutFor''. It's all in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title]]. |
| 86 | * Many other queer comics like ''ComicStrip/ChelseaBoys'', and ''ComicBook/BitchyButch''. |
| 87 | * The ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' ''Doctor Who'' comic strip has tended to do this with its original companions since the nineties: they have included Izzy (lesbian, although this was not actually confirmed until her final story, after a lot of HomoeroticSubtext), Fey (ReallyGetsAround and [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity possibly]] either a trans man or non-binary), and Majenta (bisexual). The Doctor is, of course, also hella queer. |
| 88 | [[/folder]] |
| 89 | |
| 90 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 91 | * Almost everyone in ''Blog/AskTheFamous8'' is in the [=LGBTQ+ =] community in some way, shape or form. Out of the Famous 8 themselves, seven of them are not heterosexual, and six fall outside of the gender binary. |
| 92 | * All of the Cures in ''Fanfic/InWhichMistakesAreMadeAndNagisaIsMadeFunOf'' are either gay, bi, pan, or ace; a straight Cure hasn't been seen (so far). |
| 93 | * ''Fanfic/DogBreathAndBirdBrain,'' a ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' fanfic, has the protagonist, Grace (who is lesbian), note that a lot of her friends came out as different flavors of queer after making a sort of unofficial pact to improve their love lives over the previous summer. For that matter, when asking Octavia about what Hell is like, Via says that about ''ninety percent'' of demons are queer, not counting the sinners (although she's convinced [[HeteronormativeCrusader Katie Killjoy]] is straight). |
| 94 | * ''Fanfic/DenounceTheEvils'' contains a lot of casually queer characters. This includes Jessie being bisexual, James being bisexual and [[spoiler:implied to be genderfluid]], Cassidy being bisexual, Harley being an AmbiguouslyBi [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{trans|gender}} woman]], Pikachu having ShipTease with Meowth, and [[spoiler:Ash's mother Delia]] having ShipTease with Jessie. |
| 95 | * In the ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17652668/chapters/41629388 Discovery Channel]]'', all of the male cast members are dating. Reigen and Serizawa, Teru and Mob, and Ritsu and Sho. Tome even mentions this in [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17652668/chapters/43586042#workskin Chapter 12]]. |
| 96 | * ''Fanfic/GuysBeingDudes'': All of the team leaders, Arlo, and Cliff (for those who are counting, that's 5 out of 6 of the focal characters) are stated to be some flavor of queer. |
| 97 | * ''Fanfic/HordeChampion'': Sylvanas is in a relationship with the Horde Champion (a female Blood Elf), Jaina is in a relationship with the Alliance Champion (a female Night Elf), and Tess Greymane is revealed to be involved with Lorna Crowley. Additionally, three Horde citizens flirt with Anevay at different points in the series. |
| 98 | * ''FanFic/MyLesbianLifeWithMonsterGirlsMonsterYurisume'': Main character Yuisu, as well as most of her homestays, are gay or bisexual. |
| 99 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità ]]'': Most of the males are either gay or bisexual. |
| 100 | * ''Fanfic/TangledUpInIndigo'': Most people think Afterschool Tea Time is an all-lesbian rock band. [[spoiler:Sawako]] started the rumors in order to give the band a gimmick. By the end of the fic, only [[spoiler:Yui]] is confirmed as interested in girls, though the others are AmbiguouslyGay and AmbiguouslyBi. The fanfic writer made the story to subvert fics that portray the entire cast as queer. |
| 101 | * The only heterosexual couple in ''Fanfic/EyesWideOpenAllTheTime'' broke up two years before the story starts. The rest of the pairings are between two gay or bisexual men. |
| 102 | * The ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Nutricula}}'' has the entire named cast being at the very least bisexual, to the point that WordOfGod has stated that the only cishet character in the story is Endeavor. |
| 103 | * ''Fanfic/{{Kindred}}'' does this to the Disney princesses and princes. Whether it's SituationalSexuality or not, they tend to pair up together on their princess-only and prince-only retreats. |
| 104 | * ''Fanfic/TheLoveClub'' is outright tagged "nobody is straight". Pretty much everyone is queer. For example, Elphaba is non-binary and ends up in a relationship with Glinda, while Elphaba's father Frexspar was [[spoiler:in a relationship with [[{{Polyamory}} his wife as well as Turtle Heart]]]] (which is canon in the original books). |
| 105 | * ''Series/HoratioHornblower'': |
| 106 | ** ''Fanfic/HarbouredAndEncompassed'': Every romance and relationship is this fanfic is queer. Archie and Horatio are gay (and later it's Archie plus Horatio plus Will who are in a poly-amorous relationship). Styles and Matthews are gay (they're lower-deck Heterosexual Life-Partners in canon; here they work at the library, are gay and live together). Hannah and Will's sister Victoria hit it off, too, being lesbians or bi. Even Jack Simpson is a gay rapist. The only heterosexual couple are actually Archie's parents. |
| 107 | ** Tendency to have everyone gay in ''Series/HoratioHornblower'' fanon is spoofed in a FanVid appropriately called [[https://youtu.be/EjmLuXJiZBc "Hornblower Spoof"]]. Horatio wants to get it on with Archie, Hunter watches them, Bush, Buckland and Kennedy ogle Hornblower during his naked ShowerScene... and so on. And Kennedy is honestly surprised that straight people make an appearance. But what can you do when this WoodenShipsAndIronMen miniseries has only a handful of female characters, and only one of them is embraced by the fandom as a cool one. |
| 108 | --> '''Bush:''' You better have a look at this... ''[hands Kennedy a spyglass]''\ |
| 109 | '''Kenedy:''' Um, k... ''[sees man and woman kissing atop of watchtower]'' Straight people!! ''[laughs and watches some more]''\ |
| 110 | '''Hornblower:''' I never knew they existed in this series.\ |
| 111 | '''Bush:''' Oh stop. We're not that weird. |
| 112 | * ''{{Series/Highlander}}'' in spades because of all the male characters. There’s probably more Duncan/Methos than other pairings combined. Duncan/Richie has happened as well. Methos and the Horsemen are ripe for it and there are probably Duncan/Connor fics as well. |
| 113 | * Okay, it's more Everyone Is Bi, but in ''[[https://incorrectsmashbrosquotes.tumblr.com Incorrect Smash Bros Quotes]]'', pretty much everyone is bi or pan, or at least [[AmbiguouslyBi implied to be]]. Even among the characters who are attracted to only one gender, there are ''five'' confirmed gay characters[[note]][[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]], [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Dark Samus]], [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry King K. Rool]], [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Galeem, and Dharkon]][[/note]] compared to only one confirmed straight character. |
| 114 | * ''Fanfic/PowerChordHighSchoolMusical'': Considering the three female main characters, Luna, Sam, and Carol, are in a LoveTriangle, this is to be expected. |
| 115 | * ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': |
| 116 | ** ''Fanfic/RoadsideAssistance'' is a Yang/Weiss fic that ends on four different same-gender couples. It's also mentioned that Ruby and Yang's father is married to his former teammate Qrow. |
| 117 | ** Most of the cast of ''Fanfic/RubyAndNora'' are [=LGBT=]. |
| 118 | ** The rewrite ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'' makes much of the core cast explictly queer: Ruby is an UsefulNotes/{{asexual|ity}} UsefulNotes/{{trans|gender}} girl who is in a relationship with a girl, Weiss is lesbian, Blake dated Adam in the past but begins dating [[spoiler:Weiss]] midway through the fic, and Yang is implied to be bisexual (and is explicitly attracted to a woman, more specifically [[spoiler:Weiss]]). Amongst the extended cast: [[spoiler:Jaune]] is a trans boy, Neptune and Sun are dating, Penny becomes Ruby's girlfriend early on, Velvet and Coco are dating, Weiss' brother Whitley is a trans boy, and it's implied that [[spoiler:Raven]] is a lesbian. |
| 119 | ** ''Fanfic/SilverRingsAndGoldenHearts'' is a Qrow/Ironwood KidFic that also contains Summer/Raven/Taiyang, Port/Oobleck, Junior/Roman, and Glynda/Willow. |
| 120 | ** With the exception of the villains, almost every protagonist in ''Fanfic/TeamLVDR'' is [=LGBT=]. |
| 121 | ** [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''Fanfic/DescribingTheSeriesViaReferences''. On learning that Remnant has this reputation, team RWBY joke about how there are other LGBT orientations. |
| 122 | --->'''Ruby:''' Hey now! That's asexual erasure!\ |
| 123 | '''Blake:''' And bisexual erasure.\ |
| 124 | '''Yang:''' And ''pan''sexual erasure.\ |
| 125 | '''Weiss:''' What about straight people?\ |
| 126 | '''Yang:''' I've yet to meet any. |

| 128 | --> '''Sunset''': I have to ask; given all the student bodies of all of the versions of Canterlot High, is there a single heterosexual girl among them? |
| 129 | --> [[spoiler:'''Derpy''']] Well, there's me. |
| 130 | * ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse:'' Of the Mane Six, Lyra is out-and-out gay, Cheerilee bi (with one accidental marriage to her college roommate and a date with Rarity), Trixie is asexual but with the occasional hint she and Raindrops have burgeoning feelings for one another, while Raindrops's only canon romance is with a guy, while Carrot Top and Ditzy are strictly het. |
| 131 | * ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' has a cast of {{Long Haired Pretty Boy}}s, is [[ChromosomeCasting almost entirely male]], and features much perceived HoYay between main characters. Hence it attracted, even from the very beginning, a very large queer PeripheryDemographic. Oh, and Tolkien actively invited readers to write fanfiction. So guess what happened. The most common pairings are, naturally, with Legolas: either Legolas/Aragorn or Legolas/Gimli. Sam/Frodo is also common. Some older readers of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' wrote fics about that too. When ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' came out guess what happened, with its large cast: again, mostly male and almost entirely {{Long Haired Pretty Boy}}s. A whole kaleidoscope of ships emerged...some more dubious than others (though it isn't just the gay ships that are dubious). There is also a homophobic backlash within the fandom, with a lot of people claiming this practice is insulting to Tolkien's memory and citing his Catholicism to suggest that he supported their position. However, Tolkien's own letters prove this to be inaccurate: he mentioned liking the works of ''Creator/MaryRenault''. The discussion of ''applicability'' in the introduction to newer editions of The Lord of the Rings is relevant here as well. Much of what Tolkien wrote is applicable to queer people, even if he didn't intend it to be. A lot of the queer fanfiction is a reaction to that applicability. |
| 132 | * ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' fics have a high propensity towards homosexual characters, perhaps due to their status as RecursiveFanfiction of a fic with a lesbian protagonist. One notable example is ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'', where of the main cast, four are confirmed as non-heterosexual[[note]]Blackjack and Rampage are bisexual mares, [[spoiler:Morning Glory]] is a lesbian mare, and P-21 is...complicated, but most simply described as a gay-preferring bisexual[[/note]], and the other three are a prepubscent filly, an artificially engineered {{alicorn}} HiveMind offshoot, and a clone with a purely animalistic mentality. |
| 133 | * A large percentage of the characters in ''Fanfic/WithPearlAndRubyGlowing'' are LGBTQ+, and many [[HomophobicHateCrime were assaulted because of it]]. |
| 134 | * A large number of ''Theatre/{{RENT}}'' fanfics tend to make the already CastFullOfGay even more so by pairing the canonically straight Mark and Roger. |
| 135 | * Between Herberta/Artificer (who is a lesbian), a few canon gay characters, and various canon characters who have undergone AdaptationalSexuality the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover ''Fanfic/WormArtifice'' has no shortage of LGBTQ+ characters. |
| 136 | * ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'': Shoto, Yoichi, and Mugen (All for One) are all stated to be asexual. Tiger is a trans man (as per canon). And roughly two dozen different characters are stated to be bisexual, with WordOfGod stating that unless stated otherwise, it can be assumed any given character is bisexual as well. |
| 137 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonCrossing'': The story follows three bisexual protagonists (Holly, Kidd and Tank) in a polyamorous relationship, and two gay supporting characters (Frank and Apollo). Tom Nook (an important recurring character) is confirmed bisexual in a past chapter. Holly is also a transgender girl. |
| 138 | * ''Fanfic/HeroChat'': The students of Miss Bustier's class plus Kagami and Luka have undergone AdaptationalSexuality, with WordOfGod confirming that only Ivan and Mylene are the "Token Straight Couple." This include bisexual[[note]]Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Nino, Kagami, Luka, Kim, Rose, Nathaniel[[/note]], Gay[[note]]Max[[/note]], Lesbian[[note]]Alix, Chloe, Juleka[[/note]], and Aromantic Asexual[[note]]Lila[[/note]]. Marc Anciel, Nathaniel's partner, is also nonbinary here. |
| 139 | * ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'' features a heavily queer cast. Michael Carter gets Brian Falsworth's sexuality and relationship with Roger Aubrey. Emily is bisexual, as is her girlfriend Edith. Madelyn Joyce-Frank and husband Robert are both queer and in an open relationship. Later we meet Mark Todd and Pat Mason who are gay and asexual respectively, and Anthea's HypotheticalCasting is Indya Moore so it's very likely she is trans. |
| 140 | * ''Fanfic/FeatherfallEQ'': Most of the relationships in the story are lesbian ones, although slightly subverted with the character's Penny & Helden, and references to Vice Principal Luna's relationship. Part of this is the issue of the ImprobablyFemaleCast of Equestria Girls in which the vast majority of the non-background characters (and a high number of the background ones) are female. |
| 141 | * In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/35436586 Legends Collide! Alola's House of Champions!]]'', pretty much all but one of the trainers in said house are somewhere on the queer spectrum. In particular, Brendan, May and Wally are in a polyamorous relationship, Touya and N are bisexual and dating each other, Wallace is HappilyMarried to Steven Stone, Barry was previously in a relationship with a male OriginalCharacter and a bonus chapter reveals that Florian is non-binary. Among the residents of the titular house, only Rosa is heterosexual, according to the tags. |
| 142 | * Per WordOfGod, none of the [[MagicalGirl Magical Girls]] in the CrisisCrossover ''FanFic/ShatteredSkiesTheMorningLights'' are straight. [[Franchise/SailorMoon Usagi]] is engaged to Mamoru but is bi based on canon evidence, and [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sakura]] and Shaoran are boyfriend and girlfriend but ''both'' of them are bi... as befits characters from a Creator/{{CLAMP}} series. Also per WordOfGod: "There's no such thing as a straight magical girl." |
| 143 | * ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocus'': Starting at the end of Act 1 and start of Ac5 2, there are numerous characters from the LGBTA+ community in the Infinity Train half of the story (Pokemon characters who are such are noticeably lower in number, where only Ash and Trip appear to be so.). Ryan Akagi and Min-gi Park are bisexual and gay respectively (Ryan, in canon, is straight for dating three women), Specter is demiromantic, Tres is a transman, Indigo is bisexual, Casimira is lesbian, and November is implied to be AmbiguouslyBi. In the side-story ''Infinity Train: Orchid Observer'', the author notes reveal that the four main heroes are: asexual Jesse, aromantic and non-binary Lake, gay Spencer, and bi-curious Colette. |
| 144 | * ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23855998/chapters/57336778 Skies of Blue, Red Roses Too]]'' is a ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''/''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' story in which Ranma leaves Japan with Ukyou and Konatsu's help and eventually arrives at Beach City right in the middle of Pride Week. Much of the story is about Ranma's [[LGBTAwakening growing realization of her transsexuality]] as well as her falling for Lapis Lazuli. Almost the entire cast is somewhere in the spectrum, and Lapis even says "[[{{Gayborhood}} We live in what's probably the single most sapphic town in the universe.]]" |
| 145 | * Very common in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fics, due to the series' immense HoYay and the lack of male characters that aren't fathers, unintentionally or intentionally assholes, or underdeveloped. Memes in the fandom about [[https://imgur.com/UAwKyoZ the lack of straight pairings]] are common and the above mentioned ''Shattered Skies'' also happens to contain Madoka characters. For some specific Madoka stories. |
| 146 | ** ''Fanfic/ResonanceDays'' is one of the few stories that actually justifies it in-universe, being set in an afterlife where, due to not having hormones anymore, sexuality is a choice, and with practically no guys around, any Magical Girl who wants to have a relationship simply decides to be so. |
| 147 | ** ''Fanfic/TheSoulmateTimeline'' has Homura admit to having never met a magical girl who wasn't at least partially interested in girls, including [[ArmoredClosetGay Hitomi]] in some timelines, with the one caveat that very young magical girls, like Yuma and Nagisa, are hard to tell for sure. Little has disproven this beyond Homura's bubble |

| 150 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 151 | * ''Film/ButImACheerleader'', which is set in an ex-gay camp. |
| 152 | * ''Film/VelvetGoldmine''. |
| 153 | * The short film ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ROXTFfkcfo Love Is All You Need]]'' is set in an AlternateUniverse were homosexuality is the predominant societal norm and heterosexuals are the frowned upon, ostracized minority. |
| 154 | * ''Film/TheBoysInTheBand'' is the earliest film example of this trope, right down to the [[FiveTokenBand diverse]] set of characters with little in common besides their homosexuality. |
| 155 | * ''Film/BetterThanChocolate'', which is set in Vancouver, B.C.'s lesbian community. The cast also includes bisexual and transgender characters. |
| 156 | * ''Film/TheBrokenHeartsClubARomanticComedy'' is set in West Hollywood and revolves around the lives of gay friends. |
| 157 | * ''{{Film/Bros}}'' is a gay rom-com where every character, even the straight ones, is played by a LGBT+ actor. |
| 158 | * The 2004 SlasherMovie ''[=HellBent=]'', although the mortality drop rule is averted for obvious reasons. |
| 159 | * There is also its DistaffCounterpart, ''Make a Wish'', and ''The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror'' |
| 160 | * ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPriscillaQueenOfTheDesert'' has for its three main characters a transgender woman, a CampGay, and a divorced father who might be termed bisexual, although he doesn't embrace the label. Some {{butch lesbian}}s appear too. |
| 161 | * Also, ''Film/ToWongFooThanksForEverythingJulieNewmar''. Straight cast (most are icons of machismo, actually), gayest characters possible. |
| 162 | * ''Film/AnotherGayMovie'', apparently set in a world where straight people don't exist. |
| 163 | * ''Film/TheTroublemakers'', ''The Yo-Yo Gang'', and ''The Lollipop Generation'' - three queercore films by G.B. Jones that are as gay as they come (but she prefers the word "queer"). |
| 164 | %%* ''Film/FlamingCreatures'' by Jack Smith |
| 165 | * The heroine, her boyfriend, and an anonymous minor ballet dancer are the only straight characters in the 1948 movie ''The Red Shoes''. Given the time period, this trope is played more subtextually than is typically the case for works of this nature. |
| 166 | %%* ''Film/HighArt'' |
| 167 | * ''Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom'' and ''The Skinny'', the former being the movie continuation of the Noah's Arc series and the latter by the same creator with different characters in a different locale. |
| 168 | * The German film ''Film/{{Romeos}}'' has an interesting relationship with this trope: Not only does it have a Cast Full of Gay (its main character is about the coming-of-age of a gay transgender man, whose best friend is a lesbian), this trope was cited as the reason by the German film committee FSK to rate the movie 16+, calling it "disorienting for youth". After massive backlash - from "the man in the street", LBGT societies [[EpicFail and the ex-minister of Bavaria (which you can see as "the Texas of Germany")]], the FSK at first tried to just [[InternalRetcon reword their written reasoning]], which lead to the StreisandEffect. In the end, they were forced to revise their rating, giving it a 12+ pass. According to their own site, the FSK is composed mostly of members aged 50+. To put that in perspective: Both Hangover movies have gotten 12+ ratings without a hitch in Germany. |
| 169 | * In ''Film/KillYourDarlings'', the main characters are all gay or bisexual (but probably gay). |
| 170 | * ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' only has 8 characters, and nearly all of them are bisexual. Special mention, however, must go to [[ExtremeOmnisexual Frank]]. This trope is also in effect with many [[AudienceParticipation shadow casts]] for the movie. |
| 171 | * ''{{Film/Twist}}'', which reimagines Fagin's gang of pickpockets in ''Literature/OliverTwist'' as a stable of [[{{UsefulNotes/Toronto}} Church]] [[GayBorhood Street]] [[TheOldestProfession rentboys]]. Insert "[[{{Theatre/Oliver}} attack the rear]]" joke here. |
| 172 | * ''The Times of Harvey Milk'' is a documentary about the San Francisco politician; most of the interview subjects are LGBT. |
| 173 | * ''{{Film/Milk}}'' covers the same territory in fiction. Most of the characters are LGBT. |
| 174 | * ''{{Film/Bit}}'': All of the main characters in the film are lesbians (and [[LesbianVampire vampires]]), while the lead, Laurel, is also transgender. |
| 175 | * ''Film/Adam2019'': Most of the main and supporting characters are queer women, nonbinary people, trans men or trans women except for a couple, including Adam. |
| 176 | * ''Film/TheyThem2022'': Set in a [[CureYourGays conversion therapy camp]], the cast is mostly LGBT+ youth, with a bisexual girl, a lesbian girl, a nonbinary teen, a trans girl and three gay boys. Two of the staff also claim they're "ex" gay, with another also revealed to be LGBT+. |
| 177 | * ''Film/DuckButter'': Most of the characters are queer women, the two leads Nima and Sergio along with their friends. |
| 178 | * ''Film/TheMiseducationOfCameronPost'': As most of the film is set in a [[CureYourGays gay conversion therapy camp]], the cast is mostly gays, lesbians and otherwise LGBT+ kids (some staff members there are supposedly "ex-gay"). |
| 179 | * ''Film/LizInSeptember'': All of the main characters in the film are lesbians (or in Eva's case, bisexual), with these also being the majority overall. |
| 180 | * ''Film/{{Bros}}'': Most of the main and supporting characters are gay, bisexual, lesbian or transgender. |
| 181 | * ''Film/JaggedMind'': There are only seven major characters in the film, with four being lesbians. |
| 182 | [[/folder]] |

| 185 | * A man in the DeepSouth rushes into a bar, orders a whiskey, and gulps it down. That bartender asks him what's wrong. [[ValuesDissonance "My son's GAY!"]] The next week, the same man rushes in and orders a double whiskey. "My FATHER'S gay!". The week after, the same man barges in and orders an ''entire bottle'' of whiskey. The bartender asks: |
| 186 | -->"Who is it this time?"\ |
| 187 | "My grandfather!"\ |
| 188 | "Well damn, pal! Isn't there anyone in your family who likes women?"\ |
| 189 | "Sure is!" *gulp* "My ''sister!''". |

| 192 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 193 | * {{Justified|Trope}} in the sci-fi novel/OVA ''Literature/AiNoKusabi'' which is set on a planet where there are so few females that all the men have to find some other ways to relieve the stress. |
| 194 | * In the young adult novel ''Literature/AlmostFlying'' the four main characters are all LGBTQ. Dalia, Rani and Dhruv are gay, Alexa is attracted to both males and females but she's currently dating a girl. A major part of the plot is Dalia trying to figure out how to tell Rani she has a crush on her. |
| 195 | * ''[[Literature/LesAmitiesParticulieres Les Amitiés Particulières]]'' by Roger Peyreffite is one of the earliest examples of this. It can basically be summarized as ''Literature/DangerousLiaisons'' with young Catholic boys. The story takes place is an extremely religious boarding school for boys... Except Peyreffite shows how such an environment actually augments the chances of one embracing homosexuality. Most characters are gay or bi. |
| 196 | * ''Literature/TheBeeboBrinkerChronicles'', a classic pulp series that explores the intertwining lives of several lesbians (and their GayBestFriend) in 1950s Greenwich Village. |
| 197 | * ''Literature/BoyMeetsBoy'' by David Levithan. The only straight characters with more than half a line are the main character's best female friend and her ex-boyfriend. All the others are gay, lesbian, or transgender. |
| 198 | * Almost all of the important characters in the novels of Creator/WilliamSBurroughs are male homosexuals. Women or heterosexual males are either entirely absent, appear as minor token characters, or are cartoonish antagonists. This is particularly true of his later works, such as ''Literature/TheWildBoys'' and ''Literature/TheRedNightTrilogy''. |
| 199 | * ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfDorsa'': Not at first, but in the third book three more queer women join the cast along with Tasia and Joslyn. Akella, Linna and Megs all become viewpoint characters along with them. They are the only viewpoint characters, meaning everything is shown from this quintet's views and they are the main characters, with everyone else supporting. |
| 200 | * ''Literature/TheCounterfeiters'' by André Gide is an even earlier example of this. Most of the male characters seem to be either gay or bi and (sometimes unacknowledged) homoerotic feelings for each other abound. There is also some PreserveYourGays, as the only character that dies [[spoiler:(by accidental suicide)]] is absolutely straight but simply [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth too good for this earth]]. |
| 201 | * The Thriler/Romance series ''Literature/CutAndRun'' has a Cast Full of Bi. Zane and at least three members of Sidewinder are bisexual (bi-demisexual in Kelly's case) and Digger is asexual, basically making Owen the token straight friend. Several major supporting characters are also gay, including a crossover with another work of the authors' in which the main couple function as co-leads for much of the book. |
| 202 | * The ''Literature/CoralDawnTrilogy'' is set mostly among female-only settlements, both on Earth and the distant planet Maternas. This is justified: Men are now [[TheUnfairSex über-arseholes]] and the women are super-intelligent HalfHumanHybrid lesbians (with a dash of KissingCousins) who can reproduce by using an illegal fertility drug called Estrova. This gets taken to OneGenderRace in the third book. |
| 203 | * The Mina Davis books ''[[Literature/HungoverAndHandcuffed Hungover and Handcuffed]]'' and ''[[Literature/AssholeYakuzaBoyfriend Asshole Yakuza Boyfriend]]'' feature chiefly queer casts- especially among recurring characters- and no explicitly straight characters (though a few are probably safe to assume), though you have to rely on WordOfGod for the sexuality of some of the more secondary characters. |
| 204 | * Three of the four major characters in ''Literature/TheDogs'' are StraightGay with the other being bisexual. |
| 205 | * Most of the characters in the first book of ''Literature/TheEldestCurses'' are LGBTQ: Alec is gay, Magnus is bi, Aline is lesbian, Helen is bi, Lilly is also bi and Raphael is asexual. The only non-LGBTQ characters are Shinyun and some more minor characters like Isabelle and Catarina. Averted with the second book, which features returning characters from previous series who are mostly straight, though Magnus and Alec still take center stage. |
| 206 | %%* Laurie J. Marks' ''Literature/ElementalLogic'' fantasy series. |
| 207 | * At one point during the long span of time covered in ''Literature/TheForeverWar'', it's mentioned that homosexuality, or 'homolife', is encouraged as a form of population control. |
| 208 | * Nearly every major character from ''Literature/GloryInTheThunder'' is either gay or bi, including the [[PhysicalGod Physical Gods]] and [[ArtificialHuman Artificial Humans]]. Even the elderly MadOracle guy. |
| 209 | * The cyberpunk novel series ''Literature/{{Grydscaen}}'' has many gay, bisexual and transgender male characters. |
| 210 | * ''Literature/HandsHeldInTheSnow'' has a surprising number of heterosexual side characters for a YuriGenre story, but the vast majority of the characters in the book are gay or bi. |
| 211 | * ''Literature/ItsJustAScratch'': Almost every character in the main cast, bar maybe Marianna and Carmine [[spoiler: but not really]] is some flavor of gay, bi, or trans. Gyasi & Tom are a prominent gay couple. Tracey is trans. Luke, Haley, and [[spoiler: Beatrice]] are all implied to be bi. |
| 212 | * ''Literature/{{Katalepsis}}'': All the major characters are sapphic. No exceptions. |
| 213 | * ''Literature/{{Less}}'': A novel written by a gay author, about a gay writer's mid-life crisis after he receives an invitation to his ex-boyfriend's wedding to a younger man. Hey, they say write what you know! Apparently Andrew Sean Greer knows how to make a sappy premise beautiful and impactful. |
| 214 | * Out of the entire cast of ''Literature/TheLineageOfTellus'', only the lead female and her eventual lover are arguably 'straight'. The rest of the cast is fairly sexually fluid, except for Tris and Finn, who comfortably slip into the IfItsYouItsOkay trope. |
| 215 | * ''Literature/{{Loveless}}'': Sunil is a homoromantic nonbinary ace who uses he/they pronouns, Pip is a lesbian, Jess is bisexual and UsefulNotes/{{aromantic}}, Rooney comes out as pan and Georgia realizes she's aroace. |
| 216 | * ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'' contains a lot of HomoeroticSubtext between almost all of the characters and is considered the de facto YuriGenre series. Despite this, only [[spoiler:Sachiko's cousin and [[KissingCousins fiance]] per an ArrangedMarriage]] is canonically gay. |
| 217 | * You'd be hard-pressed to find a female character in Creator/VirginiaWoolf's novel ''Literature/MrsDalloway'' who isn't at least [[AmbiguouslyBi ambiguously bi]] or [[AmbiguouslyGay gay]]. At least one of the male characters, Septimus, fits the bill as well. (For what it's worth, Woolf herself was bi.) |
| 218 | %%* Most major characters in ''Series/NeverWipeTearsWithoutGloves''. |
| 219 | * ''Literature/{{Presidential}}'': Not only both the protagonists Emily (a lesbian) and Connie (a bisexual woman) are LGBT+, but most of the supporting characters too. Sutton (Emily's sister) is a lesbian, with a wife, Rebecca. Jill, one of Connie's Secret Service agents, is a ButchLesbian, and Elliot (among her staff members) is nonbinary. Brooke, Emily's ex-girlfriend, appears too. |
| 220 | * Set in the world's first gay state, most characters in ''Literature/ProudPinkSky'' are LGBTQ+. |
| 221 | * All of the inhabitants of the fictional Sesqua Valley in the works of Creator/WHPugmire, according to WordOfGod. He's generally subtle about it although there are some strong homoerotic overtones to many of his stories. |
| 222 | * The main characters in Creator/CharlesStross' ''Literature/Rule34'' are a lesbian cop, her bisexual old flame, a married man who cheats on his wife with other men and a [[DepravedBisexual bisexual]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]]. |
| 223 | * ''Literature/RunningWithLions'' has main character Sebastian as bisexual. His friends Mason and Willie are bi and gay respectively and teammates Emir (Sebastian's LoveInterest) and Hunter are also gay. Justified in that their coach, Coach Patrick has let it known that the team is open for LGBT players. Assistant coach Rivera is also gay and has a husband. |
| 224 | * ''Literature/{{Spellster}}'': ''In Pain and Blood'' has a mostly LGBT+ cast. |
| 225 | ** Dylan's journey of self-discovery to realizing that he's bisexual forms a long arc. |
| 226 | ** Tracker is openly bisexual meanwhile. |
| 227 | ** Authril also turns out to be bisexual, sleeping with Dylan and also a female prostitute. |
| 228 | ** Marin is a lesbian. |
| 229 | * ''[[Literature/ALandFitForHeroes The Steel Remains]]'' by Richard K. Morgan. Two of the three main characters are canonically gay, plus numerous side-characters, several who act as love interests for the main characters. |
| 230 | * ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'' takes place at [[OneGenderSchool three all-girls schools]] and has no male characters in sight anywhere; as such, almost every character is either in or pursuing a romantic relationship with another girl. |
| 231 | * ''Literature/{{Sukisho}}'' is notable for having no women depicted at all within the series. All relationships, pornography, and everything is male-oriented homosexual in nature. [[FridgeLogic Raising the question,]] how were they all born if there are no girls? And why does Sora seem to be so weirded out by homosexuality in the early episodes, given that it seems to be the norm? |
| 232 | * Creator/{{Plato}}'s ''Literature/{{Symposium}}'' can give the impression of this to many modern readers, since the characters attending the symposium (a kind of ancient dinner party) are all male, as was customary at the time. The host is part of a couple with another man, several others are having relationships (or trying to) and homosexual love in general is a major topic of conversation. However, being UsefulNotes/AncientGreece, this is more a case of EveryoneIsBi. It's just that since respectable women did not attend these kinds of events there is no female point of view other than Socrates recounting what he learned from the priestess Diotima. The trope applies since the entire story is really a [[FrameStory re-telling]] of a [[SecondHandStorytelling re-telling]] of an event that the actual author was not personally present for. |
| 233 | * When the ''Literature/TalesOfTheCity'' series first came on the scene, it was serialized in the ''San Francisco Chronicle''. Maupin's editor told him that under no circumstances could more than half the cast be gay. Maupin responded by writing a bestiality scene between a socialite and her dog, saying that the dog should be counted as straight. [[CensorDecoy The scene]] never saw print and Maupin was given leeway to have as many gay characters as served the story. |
| 234 | * Bu the fifth book in the ''Literature/TalesFromVerania'' series, just about every named character (and most of the unnamed ones) are revealed to be gay or bisexual. |
| 235 | * In ''Literature/TheseWordsAreTrueAndFaithful,'' Ernie socializes mainly with other gay police officers and with people in the local gay leather scene. |
| 236 | * The Sarah Waters novel (and later BBC series) ''Literature/TippingTheVelvet''. Almost all of the major characters are lesbians, and at one point the {{Bifauxnen}} heroine works as a [[WholesomeCrossdresser male]] [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold prostitute]]... for male clients. |
| 237 | * The ''Literature/WarchildSeries''. 95% are either confirmed gay or bi. |
| 238 | * The latter half of ''Literature/TheWellOfLoneliness'', which follows the ComingOfAge of lesbian Stephen Gordon, is largely set in the gay subculture of early 20th-century Paris, and naturally most of the named and background characters are gay or bi. |
| 239 | [[/folder]] |
| 240 | |
| 241 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 242 | * Most stuff Creator/RussellTDavies has done since 1998: |
| 243 | ** ''Series/QueerAsFolkUK'' was about the gay scene in Manchester. All three main cast members are gay. |
| 244 | ** ''Series/BobAndRose'' is about a gay man falling in love with a woman and being ostracized by the gay community. |
| 245 | ** ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', had, according to WordOfGod, five bisexuals (well, four bisexuals and an omnisexual) in series 1 and 2, one of whom happens to be in a stable straight relationship. All of the main characters are shown with both men and women, although with varying levels of bisexuality. (In order of queerness: Gwen is seen kissing a girl when she's under mind-control; Owen is seen hooking up with a man once; Ianto claims he's only attracted to Jack, not to all men, but dates him romantically; Tosh dates one woman and a man and doesn't elaborate on her overall sexuality; Jack is properly omnisexual.) |
| 246 | ** ''Series/CucumberBananaTofu'' is once again about gay men living in Manchester. |
| 247 | ** ''Series/ItsASin'' about a group of gay men in London in TheEighties. |
| 248 | * ''Series/{{Action}}'' turns into this by the end. Stuart, exec Bobby G, and action star Cole are all gay. Wendy and Janice turn out to be [[spoiler: bisexual]]. Peter, the main character, is straight ... [[spoiler: but that doesn't stop him from enjoying a blow job from Cole]]. |
| 249 | * ''Series/TheBigLeap'' has several gay men in prominent roles (Wayne, Simon, Justin, Travell, Ladon), as well as Monica turning out to be bi or pan later in the series and Justin discovering his mom was a closeted lesbian. |
| 250 | * ''Series/TheBisexual'': Leila, the lead character, is a bisexual woman while most of the supporting characters are lesbians. |
| 251 | * ''Series/DantesCove''. Almost every character on the show is either gay or bisexual. Except for the one Token Straight Woman, who is, of course, a villain. |
| 252 | * ''[[Series/NeverWipeTearsWithoutGloves Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves]]'', which is about gay men in the eighties when AIDS began to spread. |
| 253 | * ''Series/{{Equal}}'': As the series chronicles the early LGBT+ rights movement in the US, naturally it focuses on them. The majority among its characters are LGBT+, with several activists being highlighted. |
| 254 | * ''Series/EverythingNow'': More than half the main cast are LGBT+. Protagonist Mia is a bisexual girl, first showing attraction to Theo, then Carli and Alison. Carli and Alison both return her feelings. Will, her friend, is CampGay. Theo likes Mia first, but then gets involved with Will. |
| 255 | * As noted on the MistakenForGay page, a literal '''Cast''' Full of Gay appears in ''Series/{{Frasier}}''--much of the (male) cast is gay IRL, which resulted in their characters being MistakenForGay at least once. |
| 256 | * ''Series/{{Glee}}'', as many would expect, has nineteen confirmed queer characters - matched with the nineteen (out) actors on the show. In some cases, the characters and actors don't match up (like Creator/JaneLynch playing Sue), and some where they do are of different sexualities (like Music/DemiLovato and Alex Newell). |
| 257 | * ''Series/GothamKnights2023'': Harper is bisexual, Cullen's a trans man, Duela's AmbiguouslyBi and [[spoiler:Stephanie's a lesbian]], meaning that about half of the series' main characters are in some way LGBT+. |
| 258 | * ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': By the Season 1 finale, only one of the five [[note]]Assad Zaman was given a PromotionToOpeningTitles in episode 7[[/note]] main characters is obviously heterosexual (Claudia). Louis de Pointe du Lac is gay, Lestat de Lioncourt is bisexual, Armand is queer (his sexual identity isn't spelled out in Season 1, but he and Louis are a same-sex couple) and Daniel Molloy is AmbiguouslyBi. |
| 259 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''Series/TheITCrowd'' episode "The Work Outing," when the gang is taken to see a show called ''Gay!: A Gay Musical.'' Naturally, everyone and everything about the musical is CampGay. |
| 260 | -->'''Roy:''' A gay musical, called ''Gay''. That's quite gay. Gay musical? Aren't all musicals gay? This must be, like, the gayest musical ever made.\ |
| 261 | '''Jen:''' "A story of a young man trying to find his sexuality in the uncaring Thatcher years. Warning: Contains scenes of graphic homoeroticism."\ |
| 262 | '''Moss:''' Oh, no! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint It's set in the 80s]]! |
| 263 | * ''Series/ALeagueOfTheirOwn2022'': The vast majority of the cast is some variety of queer. Carson, Greta, Lupe, Jess, Max, and Jo are all confirmed to be attracted to women, and the only romances in the show are same-sex ones. The only confirmed straight main characters are Shirley, Maybelle, and Clance. |
| 264 | * ''Series/LipService'': All of the main and most supporting characters are lesbians (plus bisexuals in a couple cases). |
| 265 | * Played for laughs in ''Series/LittleBritain'', in which it seems that pretty much everyone in Daffyd Thomas' village is either gay or bisexual. Considering that Daffyd is a stereotypical CampGay who bases his entire identity on smugly asserting that he's "the only gay in the village" (despite the fact that [[AmbiguouslyGay he may not actually be gay at all]]), this is a source of considerable horror and frustration for him. Also played for laughs in the Prime Minister sketches starring Creator/AnthonyHead in which the Prime Minister is blithely unaware of his entire staff being composed of flamboyantly gay men who do everything short of making out on his desk. |
| 266 | * HBO's ''Looking''. An all-queer cast with the exception of a token straight woman. |
| 267 | * ''Series/TheLWord'', which is ''Series/QueerAsFolkUK'' with lesbians. |
| 268 | * Also, though it's far less well known, there's ''Series/NoahsArc''. In fact, pretty much any scripted Creator/{{LOGO}} show will likely feature this trope. |
| 269 | * Most female characters on ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'' are lesbian or bisexual, including the protagonist, Piper Chapman. It could also be a case of SituationalSexuality, since the series takes place in a women's prison. |
| 270 | * The only character in ''Series/OurFlagMeansDeath'' who could be described as a heterosexual is Karl the seagull. The rest are either explicitly queer or have never shown any attraction towards anyone. |
| 271 | * In HBO's Jail Thriller ''Series/{{Oz}}'', most characters are either gay (Gays' Gang) or bisexual (Tobias Beecher and Chris Keller). |
| 272 | * ''Plan V'', an Argentine production full of lesbians. |
| 273 | * ''Series/{{Pose}}'' on FX has a majority-queer cast (gay and bi/pan males and trans women) with just three straight series-regular characters. |
| 274 | * In the US version of ''Series/{{Queer as Folk|US}}'', half of the actors in the cast are openly gay. They ended up (either by design or by coincidence) pairing one gay actor (those playing Justin, Ben and Emmett) with one straight actor (those playing Brian, Michael and Ted). |
| 275 | * Most of the main male characters on ''Series/{{Smash}}'' are gay or implied to be gay (which makes sense since it centers around the Broadway community). |
| 276 | * ''Series/TippingTheVelvet2002'': The main character and most supporting characters are lesbians. |
| 277 | * ''Series/WeAreWhoWeAre'': Of the main cast, around half of them are LGBT. Sarah and Maggie are lesbians married to each other. Jenny is a bi or lesbian woman. Fraser is gay or bi. [[spoiler:Caitlin is questioning her gender, perhaps a trans boy or at least not a cis girl, while she also likes both boys and girls.]] |
| 278 | * ''Series/WynonnaEarp'' is slowly evolving into this. By the end of the 3rd season, the titular heroine is the only character in the main regular cast who has not been established as some variation of LGBQ (no T so far). Unlike with most examples of this trope, the reason isn't the show's theme or a setting in a {{gayborhood}} (in fact, it's as far from that as you can get). But rather, it's the result of several character deaths / retirements while at the same time the writers are actively refusing to use the BuryYourGays trope. Also, by this point, the lesbian/gay sidekicks both have love interests that appear in all/most episodes, and the show finally fully embraced the HoYay between the lead's surviving main love interest and her great-great-grandfather back in the day, even if that apparently was an IfItsYouItsOkay type situation. |
| 279 | [[/folder]] |
| 280 | |
| 281 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 282 | * The queercore genre generally involves bands with homosexual members who discuss LGBT themes. An example would be Shitting Glitter who are currently composed of five lesbians, but had a camp gay as keyboardist and his boyfriend as dancer, and the keyboardist's straight brother as guitarist early on. As would be expected they have NWordPrivileges and often use words like such as 'dyke', 'tranny' and 'fag'. |
| 283 | * Music/TheB52s. All three male members are gay, and Kate Pierson is bisexual. The exception is Cindy Wilson - Ricky's sister - who has been married since the Seventies. In recent years Fred Schneider has really amped up his camp nature, with his band the Superions...whose other two members are gay. Judging from their mailing list, it would also appear that The B's gay fanbase easily outnumbers their straight one as well. |
| 284 | * Brazilian [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Música_popular_brasileira MPB]] has a lot of lesbian singers, to the point it's a widespread joke. If a female singer from another genre comes out, soon some will ask if she'll now do MPB. |
| 285 | [[/folder]] |
| 286 | |
| 287 | [[folder:Podcasts]] |
| 288 | * Both main storylines of ''Podcast/ThePenumbraPodcast'' feature a main cast of primarily queer characters: |
| 289 | ** The setting of ''Juno Steel'' is more an example of EveryoneIsBi (it's set centuries in the future when societal norms have changed to make gender and sexuality a non-issue), but all of the main characters are ''explicitly'' not straight. The main cast as of season 3 consists of a bisexual nonbinary person, a bisexual woman, a gay man, two lesbians (one of whom is transgender), and an aromantic-asexual man. |
| 290 | ** ''Second Citadel'' is a more conventional case of this trope (considering its setting is a [[MedievalStasis medieval fantasy]] with more narrowminded ideas about gender and sexuality); its main cast includes a lesbian, three bisexual people [[spoiler:in a polyamorous relationship]], and a genderfluid person. |
| 291 | * The D&D podcast/[[InsistentTerminology radio drama]] ''Podcast/DiceFunk'' has Rinaldo and Silas in season 1 as well as some facetious teasing of Jayne/Anne, but it's not until season 2 that the show really blooms into this trope, what with Vinnie, her gay kenku dads, the awkward relationship between Joan the Drow and her ex Lita, as well as the half-orc Jem. Effectively the only mention of heterosexuality comes from Alias' parents, one of which hardly shows up, and Violet blushing at Drop, which is never brought up again. |
| 292 | * The podcast ''Podcast/TheStrangeCaseOfStarshipIris'' has a main cast of which at least 4/5 are either not straight, not cisgender, or both. |
| 293 | * ''Podcast/HelloFromTheHallowoods'': The vast majority of the cast is LGBT. |
| 294 | * ''Podcast/HiNay'': Both among the protagonists and antagonists. On the protagonist side, Mari and Laura are both into women (with Mari being bi or pan), and Murphy and Ashvin are dating. For the antagonists, [[spoiler:George Langford turns out to have come by the family name through his lover Friedrich pulling a lot of strings to get him recognized as part of the family (though as a brother since this was the 1800s).]] |
| 295 | * Every member of the main cast of ''Podcast/FindUsAlive'' is LGBT in some manner; Klein and Love are lesbians, Lancaster is gay, and Harley and Raddagher are bisexual. |
| 296 | * Almost every one of the main cast in ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' is queer in one way or another; Tim and Georgie are bisexual, Jon is a biromantic UsefulNotes/{{asexual}} [[spoiler:who later gets in a relationship with Martin]], and Martin and Melanie's sexualities aren't explicitly stated but both are in same-sex relationships. The only ones unaccounted for are Sasha, Daisy, Basira and Elias, who haven't been in any explicitly romantic situations. |
| 297 | * ''Podcast/TheBrightSessions'' has a mostly queer cast. In terms of MLM there are Mark, Adam, [[spoiler: Caleb, and Damien.]] In terms of WLW there are Rose, and Chloe, who is also asexual. [[spoiler:Sam also has an arc of questioning her sexuality and starts dating a woman]] in the sequal podcast, the AM archives. |
| 298 | [[/folder]] |
| 299 | |
| 300 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 301 | * ''TabletopGame/ThirstySwordLesbians'' is a game...about lesbians. By default, all the player characters will be thirsty sword lesbians, and the mechanics and setting assumptions encourage many of the [=NPCs=] to be romanceable by the [=PCs=]. Appropriately, the settings and adventures published for the game have [=NPC=] lists mostly consisting of lesbian or lesbian-adjacent characters. |
| 302 | ** And, thanks to the wonders of stretch goals, the game has a gay male variant called ''Gaylords'', which follows the analogy of ''Thirsty Sword Lesbians'':''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower''::''Gaylords''::''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse''. |
| 303 | * ''TabletopGame/VisigothsVsMallGoths'' proudly uses the tagline, "There are a lot of bisexuals." And there aren't just a lot of bisexuals, but also the majority of [=NPCs=] are somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum, with every pre-made NPC labeled with their orientation or gender (or lack thereof). |
| 304 | [[/folder]] |
| 305 | |
| 306 | [[folder:Theater]] |
| 307 | * ''Theatre/{{RENT}}'' features eight main characters, including a transgender street drummer, Angel (designated male at birth), an anarchist gay professor, a [[DepravedBisexual bisexual]] who can't seem to stay faithful, an uptight, straight-laced African American lesbian... and the four straight ones. Of course, [[spoiler:Angel is the only character who actually dies during the show, though Mimi (straight) won't last long after the show's over.]] |
| 308 | * Of the eight main characters in ''Theatre/AngelsInAmerica'', all five men "have sex with other men" (only three identify as gay), and there's something to be said about the apparently female Angel and her orgasmic kiss with Hannah. |
| 309 | * ''Oh My Godmother'' (a.k.a ''{{Literature/Cinderella}}'' with a gay twist) is set in San Francisco with the central characters being comprised of nothing but CampGay men. The only notable straight characters are the evil, homophobic stepmother and stepsisters. |
| 310 | * ''Theatre/TheBoysInTheBand'', as noted in the film section. |
| 311 | * ''Theatre/TheNormalHeart'', by Larry Kramer. [[QueerCharacterQueerActor Also literally (somewhat) true]] for the 2011 revival cast (Joe Mantello, John Benjamin Hickey and Creator/LukeMacfarlane are all out, at least). Gay actors in the 2014 film version, meanwhile, include Creator/MattBomer (Felix), Jonathan Groff (Craig), Creator/JimParsons (Tommy), Joe Mantello (Mickey), Creator/BDWong (Buzzy), Creator/StephenSpinella (Sanford), and Creator/DenisOHare (Hiram) -- but ''not'' Creator/MarkRuffalo (main character Ned), who initially hesitated to take the role (questioning whether or not a straight man should be playing the part) until director Ryan Murphy told him quite bluntly that he wanted the best actor for the role and Ruffalo was it. |
| 312 | * ''Theatre/{{Always Plenty of Light at the Starlight All Night Diner}}'' features four main characters including Sam, the Starlight's overnight janitor who's a hard butch on the outside but a real softie on the inside. Jessa, a super pregnant waitress who works at the Starlight All Night Diner and is actually totally NOT a lesbian [[spoiler: YES SHE IS]] Danni, a dinosaur nerd, and Dr Moxie, Danni's (straight???) graduate advisor. This super queer time travel adventure WITH DINOSAURS has a bit of a twist, Starlight uses the PreserveYourGays trope by [[spoiler: killing off Moxie]] the only unconfirmed lesbian. |
| 313 | * ''Theatre/HeadOverHeels'' features a lesbian couple, a nonbinary character, and a character who comes out as gender fluid after being DisguisedInDrag for most of the show. All of the presumably straight characters either are in relationships or were attracted to the latter two characters, making them AmbiguouslyBi. |
| 314 | [[/folder]] |
| 315 | |
| 316 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 317 | * ''Artificial Academy'' games by Illusion. It is the players choice of who (and what) they want in their game and to play as anyone in the class that they have created. You can essentially have a class full of girls only or boys only, as long as the 'homo' or 'bi' option for the character is set in the maker. Although, when initiating 'H scenes' with two guys the game instead fades to black. But with Yuri scenes it's completely normal, albeit without many of the options hetero pairings have. Some understandable, some less so. Without modding the game there isn't any other way to "uncensor" the Yaoi scenes. |
| 318 | * In ''VideoGame/BlackCloset'', Elsa and all the other members of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil at the all-girls St. Claudine's Academy are lesbian or at least bisexual with the sole exception of Mallory. Mallory even disbelievingly wonders aloud at one point if she's the ''only'' straight girl in the entire school. |
| 319 | * A fairly accurate assessment of the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' universe (at least starting with the second game when the series started to have more than an ExcusePlot) is that EveryoneIsBi unless confirmed gay. The only exceptions are Maya, who is UsefulNotes/{{asexual|ity}}, and possibly Salvador, whose [[GunNut love for guns]] eclipses any sexual preferences he may or may not have to the point that he might as well just be called "gunsexual". |
| 320 | * Out of the four members of the protagonist family in ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland'', three (Moira, Kari, and Eirik) are bisexual, with GayOption romantic possibilities. Moira is vocally out from early on, Kari is a teenager who's something of a late bloomer and still figuring out her sexuality, and Eirik is much more closeted. |
| 321 | * While it would be dishonest to say ''most'' of the characters in ''Franchise/DragonAge'' are gay, it probably has the largest number of LGBT characters out of any modern AAA video game franchise, both in the main cast of followers and major NPC[==]s, as well as the supporting casts and even minor characters in each game. Part of the reason for this is because the lead writer and creator of the franchise is [[AuthorAppeal gay himself]]. ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' in particular took this up by making every romanceable companion (aside from one DLC character) [[EveryoneIsBi bisexual]]. |
| 322 | ** The lore of the series reveals that sexuality is very diverse in the world. In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', the codex entry "[[https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Codex_entry:_Sexuality_in_Thedas Sexuality in Thedas]]" states that a person's sexual preferences are considered distinct from matters of procreation, save for among nobles who are concerned with continuing their bloodlines. Specifically, Orlais considers gay attraction little more than a personality quirk, while the people of Ferelden tend not to care as long as what goes on in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. Only [[TheEmpire the Tevinter Imperium]] frowns on gay relations, but they have no laws specifically forbidding them either. |
| 323 | * ''VideoGame/EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle''. Good luck finding ANY female character that isn't into women. |
| 324 | * ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has the Black Eagle and Blue Lion houses: |
| 325 | ** The Black Eagles have the canonically-bisexual Edelgard, Linhardt, and Dorothea as part of their starting lineup, as as of the 1.10 update, [[spoiler: Jeritza]] after the timeskip. Hubert, Ferdinand, Caspar, and Petra also have AmbiguouslyBi endings. (Hubert and Ferdinand with each other, Caspar with Ashe and Linhardt, and Petra with Dorothea) |
| 326 | ** The Blue Lions has the canonically-bisexual Mercedes, while Sylvain is more or less all but outright stated to be bisexual despite his skirt-chasing ways, and Felix is also implied to be bisexual (or at least for Sylvain). The house is also home to the AmbiguouslyBi Dimitri, Dedue, Ashe, and Annette. |
| 327 | * ''VideoGame/GoodbyeVolcanoHigh'': Nearly every one of the eight main characters are LGBT to some degree. The player character, Fang, is AFAB nonbinary. Naomi, a cis woman, [[spoiler:enters a romantic relationship with Fang]]. Trish and Rosa are heavily implied to be in a relationship, and [[spoiler:Rosa is later revealed to be a trans woman]]. Sage, a trans man, is implied to be in a relationship with Stella, a cis woman. Reed, a cis male, is shown to be flirting with a boy in text messages in a flashback. The only character suspected of being straight is Nasser, who early in the game is thought to be romancing Naomi, but ultimately remains single. |
| 328 | * ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' and ''VideoGame/HorizonForbiddenWest'' are both full of same-sex-attracted people. With civilization having ended and very little information about the Old World, taboos against homosexuality are effectively gone. Named female characters in particular seem to be more prone to having relationships with other women, including [[spoiler: Elizabet Sobek, the woman Aloy is a clone of]]. Numerous people people flirt with Aloy across both games, and she's noticeably more comfortable when it's another woman doing the flirting [[spoiler: and the only character she can choose to say yes to is another woman]]. |
| 329 | * ''VideoGame/{{Ikenfell}}'': Just out of the main cast alone, half of them (three out of six: Petronella, Rook, and Ima) are non-binary, and one of these three (Nel) is also aro/ace. For the remaining three, two of them [[spoiler:(Maritte and Pertisia)]] are lesbians and end up in a relationship together, and the third [[spoiler:(Gilda)]] is at least gay but probably bi or pan. Then there are the supporting characters, which adds another lesbian couple (Aeldra and Ifig), and a gay couple (Ibn and Bax), and it's implied that Maritte's older sister Safina is non-straight as well. |
| 330 | * In ''VideoGame/KittyPowersMatchmaker'', while it's more likely for clients to be straight, gay and bi clients are also very common. |
| 331 | * Most of the playable characters in ''VideoGame/TheLastResurrection'' are bisexual or lesbian, whereas all of the villains are straight. Of course, said villains are associated with fundamental Christianity or Nazism, so that's justified. |
| 332 | * ''Franchise/LifeIsStrange'' is noteworthy for pretty much always featuring a canonically bisexual protagonist with both a male and a female romantic option, with all four main games in the series following this formula to some degree.[[note]]Max from ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' can romance either Chloe or Warren; Sean from ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2'' can romance either Cassidy or Finn; and Alex from ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeTrueColors'' can romance either Steph or Ryan. ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm'' gives a minor variant, as Chloe's exact sexuality is ambiguous and Rachel is her only real love interest in the game, but it's clear she has some history with Eliot as well.[[/note]] Naturally, the supporting cast tends to have plenty of LGBTQ+ characters as well, increasingly openly so as the series goes on. {{Exaggerated|Trope}} in the [[ComicBook/LifeIsStrange the comics]], where practically every main and recurring character is either in a same-sex relationship or pining for a crush of the same gender; furthermore, the comics introduced the first (implicitly) trans character into the franchise. Noteworthy LGBTQ+ characters other than the playable protagonists: |
| 333 | ** Chloe's primary love interest Rachel in ''Before the Storm'' doesn't explicitly define her sexuality but is clearly shown to be bisexual, while supporting character Steph is an out lesbian who also has a crush on Rachel and becomes something of a coming-out mentor to Chloe. |
| 334 | ** Tristan, a comics-exclusive protagonist, develops a mutual romantic interest in supporting character Lawrence. Pixie, the drummer of the High Seas, has a crush on either Max or Chloe (or both) at the start, though she never acts on it and it's quietly dropped later in the series. Dex, the High Seas' keyboardist, is strongly implied to be a trans man. |
| 335 | ** Sean's male love interest Finn in ''[=LIS2=]'' self-defines as pansexual. Two other members of their friend group, Jacob and [[GenderBlenderName Penny]], are both openly gay (and, furthermore, defy narrative expectations by having no apparent romantic interest in each other, Sean, or Finn). In the final episode Sean meets an older married gay couple, Arthur and Stanley, while living in a free-spirited desert community. |
| 336 | ** Steph from ''Before the Storm'' returns in a much bigger role as one of Alex's potential romantic interests (and the playable protagonist of her own [=DLC=]) in ''True Colors''. The game also subtly hints that Alex's other potential love interest, Ryan, is somewhere on the asexual spectrum. There's also a gay couple who serve as recurring characters encountered several times in events around Haven Springs, and flashbacks to Steph's relationship with her ex-girlfriend Izzie reveal that the latter was transgender. (Making her the first explicitly trans character in the series and the first trans character in the games, not to mention the only trans woman in the franchise so far.) Steph's own [=DLC=] chapter ''Wavelengths'' introduces several more sapphic women she meets on a dating app, a few of whom can become significant supporting characters in the chapter depending on the player's choices. [[spoiler:During this story, Steph ends up dating a character who eventually comes out as a trans man, at which point they [[IncompatibleOrientations part amicably]] and remain friends.]] |
| 337 | ** ''Literature/LifeIsStrangeStephsStory'', which covers Steph's time in Seattle and her relationship with Izzie, also introduces several new characters, including Steph's co-worker Jordi and his friend (later boyfriend) Olly, both of whom are gay trans men; Olly is also on the asexual spectrum. |
| 338 | * ''VideoGame/LuxarenAllure'': Chisa and Merel form a romance, Chisa was pining after Karuna before Merel came along, and Karuna is in love with Aurelie. That connects four out of the five main characters. |
| 339 | * ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', [[http://notch.tumblr.com/post/28188312756/gender-in-minecraft as Notch pointed out]], only has one gender for all mobs, which means that any creature in Minecraft is homosexual, because there is only one gender to choose from. |
| 340 | * ''VideoGame/{{Moonrise}}'': There's no cis heterosexual interpretation of this sapphic werewolf interactive novel. All the characters are queer. |
| 341 | * Male androids are relatively recent development in ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' so it's not too surprising that the [=YoRHa=] androids tend to go gay when they seek companionship. This is also due to androids not really viewing gender the same way humans do, favoring compatible personalities over gender. Also, the same does not hold for the Resistance as the male/female ratio among them is more balanced. |
| 342 | * There are apparently no straight characters in playable characters of ''VideoGame/OmegaLabyrinthLife'', all of them explicitly showing romantic attraction to other girls, being an Official Couple, or having a PseudoRomanticFriendship that is so close and intimate, it's implied to be a secret relationship. |
| 343 | * Nearly every female character in ''VideoGame/RabiRibi'' is attracted to Erina and/or [[SuccubiAndIncubi Lilith]] to some degree. It helps that there are seemingly [[LadyLand no men whatsoever on Rabi Rabi Island]]. |
| 344 | * In ''VideoGame/ReadOnlyMemories'' every major character who is in a known relationship (or, in Lexi's case, was in one) is gay except Dekker, who used to be married to a woman. Additionally, one of the player's major allies, TOMCAT, identifies as nonbinary (as can the player character, if you so choose). |
| 345 | * ''VideoGame/SakuraDungeon''. Even ''with'' the ImprobablyFemaleCast you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who isn't into girls. |
| 346 | * ''VideoGame/SenranKagura''. While there is the question of [[WorldOfActionGirls availability]], and romance is repeatedly mentioned as a luxury Shinobi don't allow themselves, nearly every character who exhibits significant HoYay has explicitly rejected the idea of a heterosexual romance. A good example (and far from the only) is Asuka, who refuses a date with a guy when she notices she was only tempted for the normalcy not the companionship, and then gets into a rivalry so intense a mutual foe mistakes them for a couple and promptly starts [[ShipperOnDeck shipping them]] -- many fans interpret this as Asuka being a lesbian who hasn't figured herself out yet. |
| 347 | * ''VideoGame/TheSims'' games allow you to create a situation like this, either in a single house/family or in a entire neighborhood, but all sims have flexible sexualities. |
| 348 | * ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsFriendsOfMineralTown'' has all of the bachelorettes and bachelors as bisexual so that they can be [[GayOption wooed no matter what]]. |
| 349 | * ''VideoGame/SuperLesbianAnimalRPG'': As the title suggests the main characters are four sapphically-inclined anthropomorphic animals, two of whom are also trans. There are also a number of side characters all over the LGBTQ+ spectrum, such as a pair of non-binary bards. |
| 350 | %%* ''VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni'' has this trope as ''gameplay mechanic''. |
| 351 | * The cast of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonFour'' has more LGBT characters than the last three seasons combined, including: Clementine, who's bisexual, James, who's gay, and Violet and Minnie, who are both lesbians. Aasim was also originally planned to be bisexual with a crush on Louis. |
| 352 | * "VideoGame/InStarsAndTime": Of the main group Bonnie uses they/them pronouns and is clearly nonbinary, Isabeau mentions having been nerdy, long-haired and perceived as a girl when he was young and he didn't like being seen like that so he Changed(trans), Odile implies she's been in relationships with women in the past(bi or lesbian unclear but some form of sapphic), Mirabelle talks about not experiencing attraction(aroace) and feeling like she has to because of her faith. One of Siffrin's (the playable character) options to reassure Mirabelle that she's fine the way she is includes saying they also don't feel like doing things with people like that either revealling they're also ace(however not necessarily aromantic, they can end the game in a romantic relationship with Isabeau). This means your playable character is an ace he/they enby(plenty of men use he/they but he says some things they imply they're not a man.) and can be romantically attracted to men. |
| 353 | [[/folder]] |
| 354 | |
| 355 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 356 | * ''Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo'' (''A Kiss for the Petals'') is a cast full of lesbian with parents and some expanded material characters being the only characters that show any heterosexual feelings. |
| 357 | * [[RomanceGame There exists a full genre of yaoi and yuri games, mostly in the visual novel format]]. Many of them have this trope in action. For example, in ''Silver Chaos'' the only female that can be seen is in one of the [=CGs=] and very much dead. |
| 358 | ** ''VisualNovel/GakuenHeaven'', justified in that the series takes place at an all-boys school. Which is named [[BoysLove BL]] [[FunWithAcronyms Academy]] - just in case you didn't get the memo that this is a {{yaoi|genre}} series. |
| 359 | ** The cast of ''VisualNovel/HerTearsWereMyLight'' is small and only includes girls who love girls. |
| 360 | * Lampshaded in ''VisualNovel/DontTakeItPersonallyBabeItJustAintYourStory'', when Taylor asks if she's the only straight person in the entire class, even though she isn't (only half the cast is). |
| 361 | * ''VisualNovel/MinotaurHotel'': Not as obvious as other furry Visual Novels, but it's still there. Annabelle makes it clear to everyone that he's gay, P outright states it, while you yourself have stated that you've had sex with a man before and that you're attracted to Asterion. Asterion is plainly attracted towards the Master in the main route, while Storm [[spoiler:says that he wants to be in a relationship with P if he's been kind enough to him, though there's the possibility that he's still figuring out his sexuality.]] Everyone else has unclear sexualities. |
| 362 | * ''VisualNovel/{{Morenatsu}}'' is this. Or it's a {{Gayborhood}} at the least. |
| 363 | * ''VisualNovel/HeartOfTheWoods'' has four main characters, all of which are women who love women. |
| 364 | * ''Creator/{{Lovestruck}}'': |
| 365 | ** ''VisualNovel/HavenfallIsForLovers'': Most of the central and supporting cast are LGBT. The heroine lampshades it after a large group meeting in Mackenzie's season four, saying she's starting to think there's a correlation between that and the supernatural. |
| 366 | ** ''VisualNovel/VillainousNights'': Monarch is bisexual, Renzei and Bat are pansexual, and Andi and Lorelei are lesbians, making Duke the only heterosexual character in the core cast. In addition, several of the antagonists are not straight, Monarch's roommate Robin is nonbinary, and Zeke — the original founder of the Syndicate who is introduced later — is also pansexual. |
| 367 | ** ''VisualNovel/QueenOfThieves'': According to a Q&A, Nikolai is pansexual, Vivienne and Zoe are lesbians, and Remy and Jett are bisexual, with Leon as the only straight member of the core cast. |
| 368 | ** ''VisualNovel/SinWithMe'': The heroine, Onyx, and Nahara are all bisexual, and Wrath, Yvette, Ripley, and Vinca are all lesbians. In addition, Malakai and Nahara are both demisexual. This leaves Darius and Cal as the only heterosexual major characters. |
| 369 | ** ''VisualNovel/ReigningPassions'': The heroine and Xenia are bisexual; Sevastian, Lyris, and Piama are pansexual; Amara and Hazel are lesbians, and Galen is non-binary and queer. Hazel is also trans. |
| 370 | ** ''VisualNovel/EverAfterAcademy'': Almost every member of the main cast is LGBT, as well as some of the supporting characters. |
| 371 | * ''VisualNovel/VA11HALLA'': leading lady Jill Stingray is bisexual leaning towards lesbian, who had a relationship with another woman prior to the start of the game and harbors a massive crush on her female manager Dana who may have [[spoiler:get together with Jill in the good ending, though it's never explicitly mentioned whether they're going on a date or Dana taking care of Jill like she does over the course of the game]]. Stella Hoshii is AmbiguouslyGay for her best friend Sei Asagiri. Dorothy is a {{Sexbot}} who is practically pansexual, as her line of work necessitates. Alma Armas is heterosexual, but has a transgender brother. Beatrice is a lesbian, but also harbors some feelings for a male coworker. Taylor is a BrainInAJar who [[AmbiguousGender doesn't identify as male or female]]. Mario is a closeted gay biker. |
| 372 | * ''VisualNovel/YearningAGayStory'': The player character is gay, befriends Carlos and Jake who both turn out to be gay too, and joins a Queer & Allies club that has lesbian girlfriends Liz B. and Liz G., bisexual actor James, and gay EthicalSlut Dan. There ''are'' some other characters who seem to be heterosexual, but they're in the minority and one of them [[IfItsYouItsOkay turns out to be not 100% heterosexual after all]] in one ending. |
| 373 | * Most of the cast in ''VisualNovel/HeavenWillBeMine'' is explicitly some variety of LGBT-- specifically, most of them are lesbians, though there's also Mercury and his husband Ganymede. Several characters are explicitly transgender as well. This is actually a plot point: [[spoiler: the children who left Earth to become test pilots were already outsiders by nature, and over time, those who fit in better returned to Earth, leaving those who don't fit in to a greater degree stuck in space.]] |
| 374 | * Most of the cast of ''VisualNovel/KindredSpiritsOnTheRoof'' already is in a lesbian relationship at the start of the game or ends up in one over the course of the game. There are two exceptions-- [[spoiler:Yuna's friend Fuji Ano and Nena Miyama of the broadcasting trio]]-- but their sexualities are never conclusively determined. |
| 375 | * In ''VisualNovel/CursedLands'' there are six potential love interests, none of of them hetrosexual. Four are bisexual, one of each gender is gay. |
| 376 | * ''VisualNovel/ChoicesStoriesYouPlay'': |
| 377 | ** ''VisualNovel/TheNannyAffair'' can feature a cast full of lesbian, including the AlwaysFemale main character Anna, the gender customizable love interest Sam (if set to female), their adopted sibling Robin (whose gender is the same as Sam's), Sam's fiancee Sofia and their ex-wife Addison, while Book 2 adds Jordan, the replacement nanny (who's also gender customizable) into the mix. Lampshaded in Book 2, Chapter 6 when Anna's publicist tells her that everyone sees her as "the other woman" after Sam left Sofia to be with her, and Anna counters that everyone involved is a woman if Sam is female. |
| 378 | ** ''VisualNovel/WakeTheDead'' has plenty of LGBTQIA+ characters, in no small part due to being a ZombieApocalypse story taking place in the 2040s. The main character, Ash (who can be customized as either male or female) has both male and female love interests[[note]]Troy, Eli, Shannon, Angel, and [[spoiler: Sledge]] [[/note]], all of them can be romanced regardless of Ash's gender. In addition, Ash and their sister were raised by two fathers, Knuckles is in a polyamorous relationship with a man and a woman, Ayliah is married to another woman, and Hatchet is non-binary. |
| 379 | ** Another story with plenty of LGBTQIA+ characters is ''VisualNovel/MurderAtHomecoming''. The main character, Blake, can be gay or non-binary if the player so chooses. Gabbie is bisexual, and was in a relationship with Joanna, a lesbian with ''extremely'' homophobic parents. Also, two of Blake's love interests, Donovan and Stevie, are canonically bisexual, while the third, Tyler, comes off as straight, then he discovers he isn't if a male or nonbinary Blake romances him. There's also the gay CoolTeacher, Mr Lewis, whose parents are also quite homophobic. |

| 382 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 383 | * ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' downplays it but is still present, with three of the main cast members being confirmed as LGBT. Stolas being a CampGay prince of hell, Blitzo [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CDH_S5YAKNp/ confirmed in his instagram post as pan]], and Moxxie was [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1308964753570754562 revealed to be bisexual in a tweet by Viv on Bi-Visbility Day]] and explicitly came out in the episode "[[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E3ExesAndOohs Exes and Oohs]]". Episode 5 also introduced Sallie May, Millie's UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} sister, as confirmed by [[https://twitter.com/IgnisTwote/status/1388245975106420739 a tweet from the voice actor]]. Blitzo's childhood friend Fizzarolli and Asmodeus, King of Lust, are revealed to be couple in episode "Oops". |
| 384 | * ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}'': A majority of idols tend to show lesbian, or at least bisexual tendencies, albeit with some purely straight exceptions, such as [[Characters/HololiveJapanGenerationThreeFantasy Shirogane Noel]]. This is especially notable with idols such as [[Characters/HololiveJapanOriginalGeneration Sakura Miko]], [[Characters/HololiveJapanGenerationOne Natsuiro Matsuri]], [[Characters/HololiveJapanGAMERS Inugami Korone]], and [[Characters/HololiveJapanGenerationSixHoloX La+ Darknesss]], whose lust for girls tend to be defining attributes. |
| 385 | * As confirmed in [[https://twitter.com/JoCat105/status/1225673371091734528 two tweets]], most of the characters from WebAnimation/JoCat's ''A Crap Guide to [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]'' are LGBT. Felicia (Bard) is pansexual, Sasha (Paladin) is a lesbian, Hutrax and John (Wizard and Fighter) are gay, Chad (Sorcerer) is UsefulNotes/{{transgender}}, Rogmesh (Ranger) is bisexual, Ricmo (Druid) is non-binary, and Busmic and Yathyra (Warlock and Monk) are UsefulNotes/{{asexual}}. |
| 386 | * A majority of the ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'' cast and crew are asexual. In the podcast series, Red jokingly blames it on LGBTQIA+ people having a strangely accurate ability to find each other without even knowing. |
| 387 | * In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', Blake Belladonna is a bisexual in a sapphic relationship with Yang Xiao Long, who's either a lesbian, bisexual or [[WordOfSaintPaul pansexual]], Coco Adel and Ilia Amitoa are both lesbians, Saphron and Terra Cotta-Arc are ''married'' lesbians, Scarlet David is gay, and May Marigold is transgender. These are just the confirmed LGBTQIA+ aspects -- many side characters and main characters are hinted to be some flavor of bi, pan, homo, or asexual, with a few of them suggested to be in a poly relationship. |
| 388 | * ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' drips with homoeroticism, parodying the cis[=/=]het male power fantasy of the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 source material]]. The vast majority of male characters appear to be either attracted to men in some way or [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} Asexual]]. On the other hand, [[SmurfettePrinciple very few]] women appear, mostly [[AmazonBrigade Sisters of Battle]], who are [[CelibateHero celibate]] [[WarriorMonk battle nuns]]. The only character confirmed to be exclusively heterosexual is the Emperor himself, who is a desiccated corpse. |
| 389 | * ''WebAnimation/ChiknNuggit'': Fwench Fwy and Iscream are both OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous and in a relationship, Cheezborger and Slushi are both bisexual, Cofi has been hinted to like women as well, and Chikn Nuggit is pansexual. Fwench Fwy has also admitted to being gay in [[https://www.tiktok.com/@chikn.nuggit/video/7211546842163645738 one short.]] In fact, all of the characters whose sexualities have been expressly revealed are LGBT. |
| 390 | [[/folder]] |
| 391 | |
| 392 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 393 | * ''Webcomic/OneHundredAndEightyAngel'': Chloe/Samael is biromantic demisexual, Lilith is pansexual, Zero is trans and bisexual, and Xavier is gay. |
| 394 | * ''Webcomic/AngelDown'': Ward and Chloe are gay, Bernard is bisexual, Samuel is transgender, and Ariel is asexual, the only named character who hasn't been shown to be LGBT+ is Maria. |
| 395 | * ''Webcomic/CirqueRoyale'' has a majority gay cast. The only major characters who aren't some known form of queer (and aren't children, like Red) are Quinn, Penelope, their mother dowager Queen Louise, and Pascal. (His father Manet's sexuality is listed as "unknown".) |
| 396 | * ''Webcomic/ComingToTheLavender'' Aaron the main character and his monster girlfriend Myfawny are bisexual, Myfawny's best friend Mag is a lesbian, and her friend Feather and Carmine are two men in a relationship. |
| 397 | * ''Webcomic/{{Muted}}'': Camille herself just admitted out loud she's not attracted to men. She's being courted by both a fiery young woman and another sweet woman who loves growing flowers. |
| 398 | * ''Webcomic/{{Ayuri}}'': All characters shown to be in relationships so far are lesbians. |
| 399 | * ''Webcomic/TheGreenEyedSniper'' has a 100% lesbian main cast (even Assistant, the sentient robot, seems to be in love with her creator, Sekhmet). [[spoiler:NO lesbian character dies!]] |
| 400 | * ''Webcomic/HighClassHomos'': Sapphia and Odette are lesbians, August and Percy are gay, Marla is bisexual, and Lucas is a transgender man. |
| 401 | * ''Webcomic/SmokeFurAndStone'': All the characters seem to be at least bisexual. Chuck is a butch [[BeastMan werewolf]] mourning his lost boyfriend, twinky Whithers becomes his love interest and even the amazonian warrior-woman Valjo checks out a female sea deity on route to a sacrificial island. |
| 402 | * "Finn and Charlie are Hitched/ Muddlers Beat", centers around a marriage between Charlie and Finn. There are a slew of other LGBT characters like Ken, Corey, and Jake. |
| 403 | * ''Webcomic/MyLifeInBlue'', which centers around a bunch of young {{Performance Artist}}s. Marius is UsefulNotes/{{transgender}}, Alex is gay, and the most of the supporting characters are gay or bisexual to at least some degree. Unsurprisingly, one of the few straight characters, Alison, is a FagHag. |
| 404 | %%* ''Webcomic/CarpeDiem''. |
| 405 | * ''Webcomic/KhaosKomix'': The only apparent heterosexual of the main eight is Jamie: Nay and Charlie are clearly bi, Murfs is label-averse but seeing Tom, Tom is gay, as Mark and Amber appear to be, as does Steve, although he considers he might be bi. |
| 406 | * In ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', for a while, it seemed like every major character who wasn't explicitly gay or bisexual (most were the latter, in fact) was at least very deeply uncertain. This was scaled back somewhat when [=DiDi=] stopped identifying as bisexual, Sandra and Gary stopped questioning, and Kiley and Erik became more important as characters -- but then things got more complicated with all those characters in different ways. In any case, there's still a substantial majority of non-heterosexual characters. This is mostly PlayedForLaughs (and a fair bit of FanService); a modern SexComedy, in which characters actually have sex on a regular basis, has more options for jokes and surprises if almost anybody might end up in bed with anybody else. |
| 407 | * The main cast of ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'' consists of a gay couple, a bisexual guy, a heterosexual guy secretly in love with the bisexual guy, and the couple's landlady. |
| 408 | * ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'', This gets toned down and deconstructed when [[spoiler:it is revealed that it is all a dream, of a homosexual teenage girl who as a outcast, wanted friends and ones who could help her come to terms with her sexuality. Final count is two lesbians and two bisexuals.]] |
| 409 | * All the trolls in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' are bi, except Kanaya who is gay by WordOfGod. Meanwhile half of the main human cast has also been confirmed or at least strongly implied to be non-straight (Dirk is gay, Rose is either gay or bi, Jake is probably bi, and Dave is also implied to be bi later on). The artist has joked that the comic will eventually collapse into a "gay singularity". |
| 410 | * ''Webcomic/IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace'', for obvious reasons. |
| 411 | * Of the three leads of ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'', Ethan is gay, Amber is (probably) straight, and Robin (after much confusion) identifies as "generally undefinably queer". Also, Leslie, Mike, Drew, and Conquest are clearly not straight (as well as DropInCharacter Thad and his late boyfriend Evan), and Malaya is {{Robosexual}} for Ultra Car, who is homoromantic asexual. Rick and Faz are such {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s that it's impossible to tell[[note]]Faz at one point believes that if he has sex with a woman, this will "cancel out" a previous gay encounter on the Kinsey scale[[/note]], Galasso can't tell genders apart despite having a daughter, and even [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Ronnie]] seems to imply he's had affairs with men in one strip, leaving essentially just Roz, Jacob, Ken and Lucy. This is a phenomenon Amber's commented on several times, providing a quote on the Quotes page; it's also {{lampshaded}} [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/diversity-closet here.]] |
| 412 | * ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'' didn't start out this way, but it became clear early on that Sara of Penny's GirlPosse was gay, and when she came out halfway through, bit characters [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Fred and Daphne]] were seen to be gay and began getting a lot more screen time, forming a second CastHerd with Sara, Aggie, and Aggie's friend Lisa, who shunned labels throughout. The eponymous pair themselves were questioning throughout, especially later on, coming out in the final arc; Stan, one of the most important supporting characters outside the two cliques, seemed to have a crush on a male friend obvious enough for other characters to comment; and DepravedBisexual Cyndi was the closest thing to a villain for about a third of the strip's run. |
| 413 | * The spinoff, ''Webcomic/{{QUILTBAG}}'' (look at the title), stars Sara and Lisa, with Stan playing a small role, as well as Sara's mother, who's now sleeping with a woman. Of their floor, Alex, Jade, and Bob appear to be bisexual (albeit at least the former two being {{Contest Winner Cameo}}s), Jules a lesbian, Temperance clearly interested in girls, and their RA Hank gay. There's also a subplot with an all-lesbian sorority, and Chrissy, a trans woman who partners with women, is a supporting character. |
| 414 | * ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': The author has admitted that basically no one in his comic is completely straight, with Sensei Greg, a side character, being the only "token straight guy." |
| 415 | ** Among the main cast, we have: Justin, an openly gay guy (although [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset not initially by choice]]); Nanase, a lesbian that spent years in denial before finally meeting her ClosetKey; Tedd, who has a fondness for [[GenderBender transforming into a woman]] and eventually discovers that they're [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} genderfluid]], Ellen, a bisexual homoromantic girl and Nanase's aforementioned key; Susan, a seeming asexual demiromantic girl who's still trying to figure out her exact sexual identity; Grace, a shapeshifter whose sexuality is hard to pin down exactly (she seems to genuinely have SingleTargetSexuality, although a closer ''Earth'' sexuality might be demisexual or sapiosexual); Sarah, who seems to be the most straight but calls herself "[[JustForFun/KinseyScaleOfTropes Kinsey-2]] at most" and has invasive thoughts about girls sometimes; Elliot, who was initially presented as straight but frequent GenderBending have caused him to realise he might be attracted to men even while not transformed; Ashley, a bisexual girl who is ''really'' into transforming; and Diane, who thought she was straight before realising that her secret crush on Nanase was more than "IfItsYouItsOkay". Confusing matters more, almost all of these characters have been genderbent at least once (including once ''simultaneously'' for one night) and felt attraction towards what normally would be their own gender. |
| 416 | ** In the secondary cast, there's Sam, a trans guy; Rhoda and Catalina, a bisexual girl and a lesbian that are a couple; Noah, who seems to be asexual (he is dating a girl, but only for "physical warmth and comfort"); Luke, another gay guy and Justin's boyfriend; and any number of cameo characters who are not cis and straight. That's not even getting into genderless aliens, immortals, shapeshifters, alternative universes where characters switch out genders and sexualities like they were shoes, etc. |
| 417 | ** PlayedForLaughs in "Identity" with the five guys who saw [[spoiler:Elliot and Sarah's breakup]] on the review show. When they all talk to Sarah afterwards, she suspects that at least some of them are hitting on her. When she actually talks to them about it, it turns out four of them are gay. |
| 418 | ** In "Squirrel Prophet Part 2", when Justin tells Grace that 90% of people are heterosexual, she [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1914 does some mental calculations]] and [[LampshadeHanging concludes, based on her own social circle, "That can't ''possibly'' be right."]] |
| 419 | * ''Webcomic/BandVsBand'' has a cast mostly made up of lesbian, gay, bisexual or pansexual characters. |
| 420 | * ''Webcomic/{{Threading}}'' has an all-lesbian cast. |
| 421 | * ''Webcomic/FurPiled'' has, out of ALL the main characters, a single straight character. |
| 422 | * In ''Webcomic/SeiyuuCrush'', all of the main couples are gay, with a few other gay characters alluded to, and the remaining characters' romantic interests not confirmed. |
| 423 | * All demons in ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'' are, to varying degrees, pansexual. Of particular note are Amethyst, who is a shameless flirt and sapphic-leaning; and Volaster, who loved Royce [[spoiler:and sired Carval with him (demons engage in BizarreAlienReproduction that makes it so any demon of any gender or sex can have children)]]. The few outliers among the cast, as a whole, are Syranon (strictly hetero), Ryo (suggested to be asexual), and Teodora (an out lesbian) |
| 424 | * The main cast of ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': Tip started out as a straight (but crossdressing) EthicalSlut before he met Artie, and now ReallyGetsAround; Artie says Sweetheart is gay but in denial about it (she seems to have feelings for Unity); Unity herself is probably bi, since she has "funny feelings" about Tigerlily Jones, but also has a sort-of-boyfriend. Nick is straight, Moustachio probably likewise given his relationship with Hitty, and Gavotte is autosexual, since she's [[HiveMind a swarm of bees]]. (And with the exception of Moustachio, Gavotte and possibly Nick if you classify him as a human rather than a helicopter, all of them have been interested in [[InterspeciesRomance dating outside their species]]. But [[ExtremeOmnisexual especially Tip]].) |
| 425 | * A major CreatorThumbprint of Creator/JocelynSamara, who is an asexual trans woman herself: |
| 426 | ** ''Webcomic/Rain2010'' has a majority queer cast, with its title character being a trans girl. |
| 427 | ** ''Webcomic/MyImpossibleSoulmate'' is similar, with an almost entirely queer cast. Going into specifics, Chiaki and Nagisa are lesbians (with the former also being demiromantic), Keegan and Belial are bisexual, Redge is gay, Micah is pansexual and uses they[=/=]them pronouns, Nara is omnisexual, and Verity is questioning. |
| 428 | * ''Webcomic/ThePrincess2009'' contains characters of various gender and sexual identities, including the protagonist (a trans girl who has crushes on both male and female characters) and her best friend who eventually identifies as nonbinary. |
| 429 | * In ''Webcomic/MageAndDemonQueen'', the only confirmed heterosexual character is Cerik, and he only goes for female [[HalfHumanHybrid lamia]]. Queen Vel is suggested to be a lesbian and had a prior relationship with another woman, Malori is [[SingleTargetSexuality 100% Vel-sexual]], Alto asked if the king was hot in his first line of dialogue, and the princess is a trans girl who's [[LoveTriangle constantly trying to snatch Malori away from Vel]]. WordOfGod states that practically everyone in Folstina is pansexual unless stated otherwise. |
| 430 | * ''Webcomic/IgnitionZero'' has its main cast consist of various characters who fit on the lgbt spectrum. Robbie is a homoromantic asexual, Orson is asexual, Neve is pansexual and genderfluid, and Martin is an aromantic heterosexual. |
| 431 | * ''Webcomic/SisterClaire'': It's easier to list who ''isn't'' LGBT: literally no one, as per WordOfGod. As the creators are both LGBT and in an LGBT relationship together, they're explicitly making ''Sister Claire'' a paradigm for diversity. This means that any character not explicitly shown to be LGBT is ''at minimum'' AmbiguouslyBi. |
| 432 | * ''Webcomic/TheNightBelongsToUs'': Hank, [[SupportingProtagonist the main character]]; Miss Chief, [[BigBad the main antagonist]]; and Antoine Anton are all gay. Ada, [[{{Deuteragonist}} the deuteragonist]], is at least bisexual, and Lendfire might be as well. |
| 433 | * ''[[http://www.thewretchedoneswebcomic.com The Wretched Ones]]'': The entire main cast is queer, with John as pansexual, Charlie as trans and bisexual, Yayne as bisexual, and Sparkes being genderqueer and asexual. The author has hinted there are even more queer characters to come. |
| 434 | * Four out of five of ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'''s main cast are gay, bi, or similar, as well as several side characters. |
| 435 | * ''Webcomic/TheHazardsOfLove'': At least half the cast so far seems to be LGBTQ in one form or another. |
| 436 | * Most of the cast in ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson'' are gay or bi, and a few are also transgender or identify differently. Beings are ''asexual'' by their very nature, though they often take part in such activities anyway at their masters' beck and call. |
| 437 | * The cast of ''Webcomic/{{Lovebot}}'' consists of mostly gay characters, two characters who appear to be bisexual, and a transgender man as the protagonist. Straight characters, when they appear at least, are mostly left to bit roles. |
| 438 | * ''Webcomic/ValAndIsaac''. The main cast consists of Minnow, a [[http://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/157667854288/minnows-ex-boyfriends-nathan-was-minnows-high bi]] cyborg fish girl who's [[http://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/154345370280/doodled-a-bit dating a]] RobotGirl and [[http://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/152778908595/robot-fish-girl loves her two dads very much]] (her girlfriend's new boss, another female [=DOR15=] unit, is dating an octopus girl); Val's dating history is [[http://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/156040027960 heavy on other women]]; and female secondary characters Garla and Space Dread [[http://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/162206395920/iyabiya-replied-to-your-post-i-love-space-dread appear to be a thing]]. Isaac is just asexual, and even plays with a sports team that presumably caters exclusively to asexual spellcasters (it's even called the Ace Wizards). |
| 439 | * ''Webcomic/LearningWithMangaFGO'': Gudako and her Servants are either shown to be into girls or solely in F/F relationships if they have any sexual interest at all, while the Male Protagonist likes boys and {{ambiguous|Gender}} people. Even rarely seen characters like Dr. Roman have at least one scene with the same gender. |
| 440 | * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' has a primary cast which, at this point, diverges from heterosexuality in most cases, running the gamut from IfItsYouItsOkay to completely asexual to bi, lesbian and gay, all the way to one of the main characters actually striking up a relationship with an AI, which isn't even remarked upon as if there's anything strange going on. Many of the secondary characters and B-plots are still hetero, so to speak, but there's a lot going on in that [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture possible futuristic world]]. The author has said that every time he gets a complaint about the high number of LGBT characters, he adds one more out of spite. |
| 441 | * ''Webcomic/DearChildren'' centers on Hearthbrook High School's Journalism Club, of whose 5-7 members at ''least'' 3 are definitely gay, bi, or otherwise sexually-unusual. |
| 442 | * ''Webcomic/FairestCruelest'' Almost every sex scene in the comic is between same sex couples or has one of the partners mention their queer leanings. |
| 443 | * While none of the four main kids in the Activity Club in ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'' has a defined sexuality as yet (they're all quite young), the backup cast pick up the slack: among the kids in the school, Cody is gay and RJ is nonbinary; among the adults, Dr Zarei, Agent Day, Mr Spender, Mr Garcia, DJ Mothman, and Professor Bigfoot are or have been in same-sex relationships. |
| 444 | * ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' has transitioned into this over the years, as almost every major female character (which is easily 90% of the cast) has switched from straight to surprise lesbian. Many in literal surprises moment that seemingly come out of nowhere, with no prior build up or real explanation after. |
| 445 | * Most of the cast of ''Webcomic/{{Fillbert}}'' is asexual. Fillbert is additionally non-binary and aromantic, and Vivi and Willow were in a lesbian relationship until the 2022-W10 comic. |
| 446 | * ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': The main cast alone includes several WLW characters, a trans girl, at least one asexual, and not a single confirmed straight person. Similarly, same-sex relationships in the comic (whether [[OfficialCouple confirmed]] or only [[ShipTease hinted at]]) vastly outnumber and overshadow opposite-sex ones. The one character ''only'' known to be attracted to the opposite sex is Tessa, who has a crush on a boy at her school; as such, the fandom has jokingly dubbed her the comic's "Token Straight". |
| 447 | * ''Webcomic/{{Transcendent}}'': Olive is a trans girl, Owen is pansexual, Sid is demisexual, Lyndon is bi and is dating Itsuki, who's gay, Gigi is in love with Olive, and various LGBTA+ supporting and background characters appear sporadically. |
| 448 | * ''Webcomic/{{Muted}}'': The comic features several LGBT characters. Camille is a lesbian, Nyra and Avaline are bisexual, Silvia is asexual/aromantic, Jazmin (the woman making flowers for the tourists in Episode 1) and Kalen ([[spoiler:Camille's father]]) are trans, and Sloane and Rowena are non-binary. |
| 449 | * ''Webcomic/TheFantasyBookClub'': Fiona is aromantic, Tristan is asexual, Brie is sapphic, Eremis is lesbian, and Drew is transmasc and pansexual. |
| 450 | * ''Webcomic/{{Matchmaker}}'' is about nonbinary Kimmy helping her gay best friend Mason get a boyfriend, as well as the love lives of their LGBT friend circle. The only character explicitly said to be straight and stays that way is Josh, who makes a few short appearances near the end. |
| 451 | * Most of ''Webcomic/Earth2068'''s main cast is queer in some way. Every member of ARACHNID is trans. |
| 452 | [[/folder]] |
| 453 | |
| 454 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 455 | * Nearly everyone in ''Podcast/CompelledDual'' is transgender, gay/bisexual, or both. |
| 456 | * The core cast of ''Literature/TalesOfMU'' is predominantly gay or bisexual. |
| 457 | * Characters in ''Literature/TheSolsticeWar'' are either gay or bi or awaiting confirmation to be gay or bi. |
| 458 | * ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. PlayedForLaughs. |
| 459 | * ''Roleplay/{{AJCO}}'' contains the full spectrum - gay, bi, ace, pan ''and'' straight, as well as nonbinary, trans and agender characters. No one ever draws attention to it and the sexualities of the characters have little to no impact on the plot - they're simply just aspects of them rather than their main focus. |
| 460 | * The whole point of Poe Cottage at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. The school administration has put into one safe zone every student who admitted on the entry form that he/she/it is either lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex, because turning into a mutant and starting high school is hard enough. Most of them are closeted to anyone not in Poe, as the "official" cover story is that Poe is for the "emotionally disturbed" mutants, which has all kinds of unfortunate implications. Though given [[TraumaCongaLine the amount of crap most of those kids go through before they even enroll]] it's honestly kind of true. |
| 461 | * ''Literature/AressInWonderland''. |
| 462 | * All but one of the main characters in ''Ze Zombie'' are queer in some way. |
| 463 | * In ''Roleplay/TheSydneyScroungers'', there are a fairly small handful of characters who are both straight and cisgender. Given the writers (and the ''Film/PacificRim'' fandom in general) this isn't terribly surprising. |
| 464 | * The overwhelming majority of characters in ''WebVideo/WhereTheBearsAre'' are gay men. |
| 465 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdKYwI4C4t4 This]] ''Funny Or Die'' skit parodies ''Series/TheBachelor'' and explains why a gay season of the show might not work so well. The contestants, all gay men, are way more interested in [[AllGaysArePromiscuous hooking up with each other]] than the designated bachelor (played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson). |
| 466 | * The four main characters from ''Literature/HelpNotWanted'' are openly gay and aren't shy about having sex with each other. |
| 467 | * ''WebVideo/MiddlemarchTheSeries'' adapts ''Literature/{{Middlemarch}}'' by George Eliot, and {{gender flip}}s three characters to make all of the endgame couples queer. By the end of the series, only two of the ten main characters are straight. |
| 468 | * In an article by ''Website/TheOnion'', [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/jack-nicholson-leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hanks-denzel,28904/ every celebrity came out as gay]]. |
| 469 | * ''WebVideo/PrettyDudes'' took an interesting trajectory to reach this. The original hook involved a gay guy and his army of straight friends, then after cast changes and cast ad-libs, the scripts embraced both explicit and implied queerness of the original characters, leaving only one of the leads actually straight at the end of three seasons and the accompanying novelizations. |
| 470 | * Both campaigns of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' have shades of this. |
| 471 | ** Campaign 1 has Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia (both bisexual), Scanlan (bi or pansexual), and Taryon (gay). Recurring NPC Gilmore is also gay, showing interest in Vax, and Allura and Kima are girlfriends, [[spoiler: getting married later in the campaign]]. While Keyleth is in love with Vax, she's demisexual, and is said to [[AmbiguouslyBi have always had a bit of a fascination with Vex.]] |
| 472 | ** Campaign 2 plays into this even more than Campaign 1, with ''five out of eight'' of the Mighty Nein being confirmed as some flavor of queer: Beauregard is a lesbian, Caleb is bisexual [[spoiler: and was in a poly relationship with a woman and a man]], and Mollymauk is bisexual and genderfluid. Yasha is also a lesbian, [[spoiler: having had a wife before fleeing her tribe]], and Caduceus is aromantic asexual. Guest characters Keg and Reani have also been confirmed as bisexual by their players. As for notable [=NPCs=], Watchmaster Bryce and High Curator Yudala Fon are genderfluid and agender respectively, Dairon is referred to with both feminine and gender-neutral pronouns, and Yussa Errenis is a transgender man. Additionally, both the Gentleman and Marion Lavorre have mentioned having partners of multiple genders, the Bright Queen's partner is [[BornAgainImmortality currently]] a woman, and Shadowhand Essek Thelyss is demi [[spoiler: and in love with Caleb]]. |
| 473 | * The ''Little Pickle Town'' animatic series has half of its main characters on the LGBT spectrum. Franklin is gay, Io is asexual, and Monaco is bigender. The only explicitly straight character thus far is Milo, who's in love with Io. |
| 474 | * Pretty much everyone in the WebVideo/BarneyBunch videos. |
| 475 | ** "WebVideo/SecretMissingEpisodes" made by the bunch basically take an existing television show and apply this trope to it. |
| 476 | * Almost every character in ''Podcast/HelloFromTheHallowoods'' is LGBT. |
| 477 | * WebVideo/ThomasSanders: |
| 478 | ** The ''Cartoon Therapy'' series episodes each focus on three sets of clients (either individuals or couples), none of whom are entirely straight: |
| 479 | *** "What [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse STEVEN UNIVERSE]] Can Teach Us About Relationships" features a homosexual couple, a nonbinary person, and a heterosexual couple featuring a proud bisexual man. |
| 480 | ----> '''Larry:''' Pop-pop was always worried I'd grow up to be a gay man. Fortunately for him, I wasn't. ''Un''-fortunately for him, [[SuddenlyShouting I'M BISEXUAL]]! ''(EvilLaugh)'' Eat it, Pop-pop! |
| 481 | *** "What [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER]] Can Teach Us About Self-Worth" carries over three of the characters from the previous episode, and adds Kai, who uses he/him pronouns but is played by a female nonbinary actor, suggesting the character is not cisgender. |
| 482 | ** ''WebVideo/SandersSides'': By virtue of the entire cast being [[AnthropomorphicPersonification facets of the same gay man's personality]], every main character is gay (though this was initially played as AmbiguouslyBi). Fan works sometimes take this further through AdaptationalSexuality and AdaptationalGenderIdentity by making human versions of the Sides trans, pansexual, asexual, etc. |
| 483 | * Almost half of the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' cast (read: major characters) is canonically LGBTQ+, and the only confirmed m/f relationships in the series are PlayedForLaughs and/or did not end well, e.g. character-Wilbur's past InterspeciesRomance with Sally the ''salmon''. It also helps that about 30% of the [[QueerCharacterQueerActor main content creators involved (who play the characters) are LGBTQ+ in real life]].[[note]]For clarification, other than the above -- as the content creators' status of being LGBTQ+ often [[QueerCharacterQueerActor carry across to their character counterparts]]... ''([[LongList deep breath]])''... c!George was (previously?) married to c!Ninja, c!Sapnap, c!Quackity and c!Karl are {{polyamor|y}}ous MLM, c!Tubbo and c!Ranboo (he/they before his content creator counterpart started using the set themself) were married to each other before c!Ranboo's death, c!Punz "doesn't have a canonical gender" (often interpreted by fans to be agender), uses he/they pronouns and previously flirted with Sam Nook (a presumably male robot), c!Sam, c!Ponk and [[AmbiguouslyGay possibly]] c!Foolish are all MLM, c!Slimecicle uses he/it pronouns, c!Fundy is (questionably due to retcons) trans FTM, and c!Schlatt and c!Wilbur have both shown attraction to men. And that's not counting the [[HoYay/DreamSMP Ho Yay moments]] outside of all of this. Or the spin-off ''Tales From the SMP''.[[/note]] |
| 484 | * Most of ''Literature/{{Galactiquest}}'''s main cast are some flavor of LGBT+. |
| 485 | * The ''WebVideo/RealTimeFanDub Sonic Real-Time Fan Dubs'', especially ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]'', are full of LGBT cast members. |
| 486 | ** Sonic himself is gay, as revealed after the [[{{Squick}} infamous kiss scene]] with Elise. He's also polyamorous, along with Shadow and Silver, as the three enter a polycule at the end of the '06 dub. |
| 487 | *** After Sonic comes out, Amy decides she's also gay. |
| 488 | ** Eggman is bisexual. In the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' dubs, he has a wife, however he divorces her by the end of it. In the [[VideoGame/SonicRiders Riders]] dub, he says he'll give the new [[Platform/NintendoGameCube GameCube]] 2 to his new husband and/or wife. |
| 489 | --->'''Sonic:''' Woah, he's bisexual! I didn't know that!\ |
| 490 | ''Eggman:''' By the way, I'm bisexual! |
| 491 | ** Memphis Tenessee is a DepravedHomosexual. He is Shadow's ex and at one point turns everyone into his boyfriend. He also has an army of [[ScrewYourself clones to have sex with]]. |
| 492 | ** Speaking of Shadow, he is likely bisexual as well as polyamorous. Being in a polycule with Sonic and Silver, as well as being Memphis Tenessee's ex, he clearly has attraction to men. However, he's also in a relationship with Rouge. |
| 493 | ** As you can guess, Silver is LGBT too. He's attracted to men and in a polycule with Sonic and Shadow. |
| 494 | ** The Babylonian Rogues are polyamorous and in a polycule, which means Jet and Storm are potentially bisexual. |
| 495 | *** Rouge is mentioned to have been in the polycule, however since she could only name 2 of Music/TheBeatles, she was kicked out. |
| 496 | ** Omega has a crush on Shadow, who feels like he doesn't deserve his love. |

| 499 | [[folder:Web Serial Novel]] |
| 500 | * Literature/ATestOfFayth takes place mostly in a gay bar, as you might imagine that means a majority of the characters in the series are some sort of LGBT. Fayth, Amery and several of the guests in the bar are trans, with Amery and Fayth both being bisexual. Rose, Jibby, [[spoiler: Lily]] and Alex are all lesbians and Callum is gay. |
| 501 | [[/folder]] |
| 502 | |
| 503 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 504 | * Though it's ultimately downplayed as most of these characters weren't fully confirmed until Season 3, ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has some LGBT characters: Sasha is bisexual, Mayor Toadstool and his assistant Toadie are a gay couple, General Yunan and Lady Olivia are a lesbian couple, the I.T. Girls are also a couple (Ally is pansexual and Jess is bisexual), Mr. X has a husband, implying he is gay and Terri uses they/them pronouns, meaning they are non-binary. |
| 505 | * ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'' has plenty of LGBT characters: Kelsey, Stacks, Witches of the Creek (Tabitha and Courtney), J.P.'s sister Laura and her girlfriend Kat and Craig's older cousin, Jasmine, are lesbians; Bernard's girlfriend Alexis is pansexual; Angel is agender; Merkid and Pullstring, of the Plush Kids, are non-binary and Secret Keeper, George (of the Tea Timers), and the Honeysuckle Rangers (Raj and Shawn) are gay. |
| 506 | * ''WesternAnimation/DeadEndParanormalPark'' is easily one of the main LGBT rich cartoons, even compared to [[Webcomic/{{Deadendia}} the comic]]. Barney the main character is both gay and trans, his boyfriend Logs is gay, the deuteragonist Norma is bisexual, and several side characters are non-binary. |
| 507 | * Many characters in ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' are LGBT. Charlie Morningstar, the main character and Princess of Hell, is bisexual. Her girlfriend Vaggie is a lesbian. Angel Dust is a gay DragQueen. Husk the hotel's bartender is pansexual. Alastor, their Hazbin Hotel's ObviouslyEvil main investor, is asexual.[[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1050498176019353601 The latter was confirmed in a tweet]] by the show's creator on National Coming Out Day. Two of the Overlords, Valentino is pansexual and Vox is bisexual. Angel Dust's best friend Cherri Bomb and her former enemy, Sir Pentious are confirmed to be bisexual, along with Angel Dust's client, Travis, is bisexual, too. |
| 508 | * ''WesternAnimation/MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur2023'' has very mild LGBT characters: Casey also has two dads, Brooklyn is transgender, Tai and LOS-307 are non-binary, Anand is gay, Fawzia, Merle and Matsuye are lesbians and Jurne is bisexual. |
| 509 | * ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' has a very diverse cast of LGBT characters: Enid and Professor Venomous are bisexual, Red Action is a lesbian, Lord Boxman is pansexual, the Hue Troops are all LGBT+, Gregg is non-binary, Bobo is agender, Nick Army and Joff the Shaolin Monk are a gay couple, Rad is queer, his rival-turned-boyfriend Raymond is gay, and there are a number of AmbiguouslyGay or AmbiguouslyBi characters (such as Elodie, RMS, Brandon, Miss Pastel, and Koala Princess.) |
| 510 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' downplays this somewhat as most characters have no romantic relationships or crushes mentioned, but those who do are overwhelmingly queer— Luz is bisexual and [[spoiler:her girlfriend]] Amity is a lesbian, Eda is bisexual as shown by a flag on the side of her old lunchbox, and her ex Raine is non-binary. Willow is the daughter of a gay couple and is pansexual, Edric is mentioned as having a date with someone referred to with they/them pronouns, Lilith is aromantic asexual, Hunter is bisexual, Vee is some variety of sapphic, the Collector and Vee's human friend Masha are both non-binary, and [[spoiler:Papa Titan (and probably his son, King, too)]] is bigender. |
| 511 | * ''WesternAnimation/PeepoodoAndTheSuperFuckFriends'': Peepoodo is bisexual, as is Dr. Pussycat, Evelyn, and Tonio. |
| 512 | * ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' didn't start out this way; Rick was confirmed by WordOfGod to be pansexual, but initially seemed to be a case of ButNotTooBi, while Summer and Jerry were AmbiguouslyBi, and that was about it. As the series has gone on, though, Rick has seen a wider array of love interests across genders, the ambiguity was dropped for both Jerry and Summer (who've each had same-sex lovers in addition to straight relationships), and the two main versions of Beth (the original and her clone) both fall for and sleep with [[spoiler:each other]], meaning that, by Season 6, five out of the six main characters are bi/pan/queer (with Morty being the only exception, for now). |
| 513 | * ''WesternAnimation/RickAndSteveTheHappiestGayCoupleInAllTheWorld'': The only straight recurring character is Condie, the world's biggest FagHag (and seemingly the universe's ButtMonkey). |
| 514 | * ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': The series is ''extremely'' LGBT friendly. The vast majority of characters get same-sex ShipTease, with [[TheHero Adora]], [[{{Deuteragonist}} Catra]] and Scorpia getting nothing but, the few who get heterosexual ShipTease [[AmbiguouslyBi generally get it in addition to the same-sex ship tease]], and the majority of confirmed, unambiguous romances are same-sex (with the exceptions of Mermista/Seahawk, Angella/Micah, and eventually [[spoiler:Glimmer/Bow and Hordak/Entrapta]]). [[spoiler: Catra and Adora eventually confess their feelings for each other and become a couple in season 5]]. |
| 515 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': As Gems are a OneGenderRace, most of their romantic relationship are homosexual ([[DiscountLesbians even though none of them technically have sexes]]). There's a significant focus on the loves between Ruby and Sapphire, as well as Pearl and Rose (the latter of whom also loved Greg, Steven's father), plus [[ShipTease less explicit romantic tension]] between several others. Most of the human cast are heterosexual or their orientation is unspecified, but it's eventually shown Sadie is pansexual. WordOfSaintPaul also outed Peridot as ace/aro. |
| 516 | * ''WesternAnimation/QForce'': Not all spies (minus Rick Buck) are straight. |
| 517 | * ''WesternAnimation/QueerDuck'': All of the characters are gay, except Bi Polar Bear... who is bisexual and is a parody of Creator/PaulLynde. |
