1 | '''Basic Trope''': A town's gay district. |
2 | * '''[[BlatantLies Straight]]''': Within Troperville, there is a street called Rainbow Street, which has [[WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame gay bars]], trendy stores, and nice houses and apartments where many LGBT residents live. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** The entire city is like this, or is viewed as such compared to other cities in the state/province/country. |
5 | ** You can easily pick the neighborhood out from space, it glows in rainbow colors. |
6 | ** Queerland is an entire ''country'' reserved solely for LGBT people. |
7 | * '''Downplayed''': The city has a street with many gay bars in a row. |
8 | * '''Justified''': Gay men and lesbians felt they needed a place where they could feel safe and connected to one another InAWorld dominated by the infamous {{Heteronormative Crusader}}s. |
9 | * '''Averted''': The gay-oriented businesses in Troperville are scattered throughout the city, as opposed to a central district. The queer residents are okay with this, since Troperville is tolerant enough that they don't feel the need to live in a "gay ghetto." |
10 | * '''Inverted''': Within Yaoiville, there is a street called Het Street, where heterosexuals live. |
11 | * '''Subverted''': Troperville had long been hostile towards LGBT people, but made a complete 180 in the span of two decades, so by the time a gayborhood could actually exist, there wasn't a huge demand for one. As a result, all but the roughest parts of town are gay-friendly. |
12 | * '''Double Subverted''': But it does have a lot of gay and lesbian characters living on it, and they all know where to find those things. |
13 | * '''Parodied''': |
14 | ** Rainbow Street is a place of {{Deprav|edHomosexual}}ity, and any straight characters who go there will almost invariably become the victims of BlackComedyRape. |
15 | ** All the guys that live there are CampGay, and all the girls are {{Butch Lesbian}}s. |
16 | * '''Zig Zagged''': The city doesn't have a single gay neighborhood, but several small strips of them here and there around town. |
17 | * '''Enforced''': We need a place to put our CastFullOfGay... |
18 | * '''Lampshaded''': ??? |
19 | * '''Invoked''': Alex and Bob plan on moving to or visiting Troperville, and look up where the gayborhood is. |
20 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
21 | * '''Defied''': To their disappointment, there isn't one, or at least not a very large or remarkable one. |
22 | * '''Discussed''': "Wait, my neighbor is gay too? And his neighbor? How... fabulous!" |
23 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
24 | * '''Deconstructed''': There are LGBT residents outside of Rainbow Street, and they [[StopBeingStereotypical don't like the place because of the image of LGBT people it projects to the rest of Troperville]]. |
25 | * '''Reconstructed''': The residents of Rainbow Street are far more diverse and well-rounded as LGBT people than the stereotypes suggest. Eventually, the rest of the city learn to tolerate the neighborhood, and [[BreakTheHaughty even grow to like it]], as it is populated by genuinely [[NiceGuy nice people]] who just happen to be gay. |
26 | * '''Played For Laughs''': [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Bob cracks a joke about how "They pack so much fudge into the brownies at that bakery on Rainbow Street!"]] |
27 | * '''Played For Drama''': A HeteronormativeCrusader of the particularly KnightTemplar variety gets an ad-hoc army together and declares war on Rainbow Street and its residents. |
