Line #23 PlayingWith/Gayborhood


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.
