Possible examples:

* The movie ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086896/ Angel (1984)]]'' includes several scenes suggesting what might be BelligerentSexualTension between "Mae" the transvestite homosexual prostitute, and Solly, the protagonist Molly's ButchLesbian landlady, as the two openly call each other "faggot" and "dyke" while exchanging barbs during an otherwise friendly game of cribbage. [[spoiler: Solly also ends up trying to comfort "Mae" in his last moments as he lies dying after getting stabbed in a struggle with a serial killer who'd broken into Molly's apartment to try to kill her.]]

* In the story "Ghosts of Responsibility" which P.J. O'Rourke published in the National Lampoon, he mentions a second-hand story of Rory, a homosexual high-school teacher, who got drunk at a party one night and started getting flirtatious with the girls around him and finally declared his intention to have his way with the wife of a colleague and left the party to go get her. Some way or other, he got her to let him in and nobody believed her when she called her husband insisting Rory was after her. How everything proceeded next is a bit murky, as P.J. O'Rourke notes: "But Ballow [Jerry Bovim, who was telling this story] was too puffed up with philosophical speculation about Rory's sudden heterosexuality to give me the particulars."

* In the 2005 version of ''TheProducers'', the CampGay Roger [=DeBris=] gets rather caught up in the moment after his success playing Hitler in the "Springtime for Hitler" play he's directing and kisses the Swedish blonde Ulla full on the mouth, pulling a laugh from the audience as his paste-on toothbrush mustache comes off and sticks to Ulla instead.

Incidentally, people who detect this kind of sexual tension in certain situations are not as "retarded" as you suppose. Alfred Kinsey himself claimed that sexuality is as "changeable as the weather" and certain further studies have shown sexuality to be malleable and something of a matter of degree. The notion that EveryoneIsBi isn't so crazy as some people seem to think, though years of cultural and environmental influences may very well tend to set people in their ways.
