** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'': Rocksteady has a very close relationship with his partner Bebop, such as hugging each other when [[spoiler:the planet was about to destroy]] and, unlike his warthog companion, never shows interest in women. The fact that the two are even living together in season 5 paints them almost like a couple.

** WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'':
*** This series' depiction of Leonardo is much more flamboyant and, unlike his 2012 counterpart, never shows any romantic interest in girls. He also fawned over the appearance of Don Suave alongside Big Mama.
*** Baron Draxum is shown ogling over Lou Jitsu after seeing him compete in the Battle Nexus. While Draxum himself despises humans, one could make the argument he was more intrigued by his fighting prowess. However, he doesn't respond well to when Big Mama attempts to flirt with him, though it's likely he wanted to keep things professional.

** In recent years, writers have played up this aspect of the effeminate and sissy nerd Martin Prince. In one episode, after fantasizing about becoming a basketball star, Martin imagines himself holding hands with a boy ''and'' a girl, though he only checks out the former. He is sometimes implied to have a crush on Nelson as well.
** For that matter, Nelson himself, despite having dated Lisa, is sometimes shown as having a secret effeminate side of which he is very embarrassed of.

** It's a running gag that Rod and Todd Flanders might be heading in this direction, somewhat to the befuddlement of their conservative religious father (in one FlashForward episode he did a favor for Bart but added that it was to compensate him for not outing his sons). However, Rod had a girlfriend when the family briefly moved out of town.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Leslie is an effeminate flower boy with pink petals. In a deleted scene of "The Saint", he is the only one out of the boys '''AND girls''' that liked being kissed by Darwin. In "The Upgrade", Bobert marries him with Alan, which also seemed to be happy despite having a girlfriend. In "The Mustache", Leslie gets impressed by Gumball's butt growing. According to "The Petals", he is also a DragQueen. In one of the first episodes, "The Pressure", he hangs out with the girls at Molly's treehouse, and claims he, along with the girls also made up his boyfriend (though he never talked about his fake boyfriend earlier in the episode, unlike the other girls). He also is seen in the girls' bathroom in "The Fight".

** Carmen herself has this with Julia, and vice versa. A lot of their moments together are laced with romantic subtext, and don't show any romantic interest in men. The interactive special "To Steal Or Not To Steal" emphasizes this quite a bit. Most notably, Carmen has a fantasy where she engages in a much more lively dance, and Julia smiles and nods in approval. The Golden Ending also emphasizes this, where Carmen leaves everything she stole for Julia, and gives her a bouquet of roses. And then she blushes.

What's more, Julie's debut from ''VideoGame/CarmenSandiegoTreassuresOfKnowledge'', reveals that both she and Carmen were partners, and her entire arc is ''begging'' Carmen to go back to the side of Acme that seems to be framed as them being ex-lovers.

Beyond the fact that the showrunners have outright confirmed the two as gay, the series makes the fact that their relationship is romantic in nature pretty explicit.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has a lot of openly queer characters, but there a few people whose sexuality is somewhat ambiguous. For example, Edric mentions having a date with somebody who is only referred to as "they", and it's never made clear if his date is a boy, girl or non-binary.

This seems to be shipping fanon rather than an assertion based on actual evidence from the movie/show. Nick does end up respecting Jimmy at the end of the movie and does give him his lollipop as a sign of that respect, but he slips the lollipop INTO an admiring girl's mouth, a much more charged gesture then his simply handing Jimmy the lollipop. Furthermore, it's not true that Nick pays no attention to his fangirls as he is often shown flirting with them, and was at least receptive to the date Cindy was asking him on in "Trading Faces." Being more comfortable around guys is also an unsupported claim; the only guys he interacts with were Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen and that happens very rarely in the show and is never due to them hanging out together but other circumstances (show-and-tell in "The Phantom of Retroland," investigating in "Crime Sheen Investigation."). In fact, in said two episodes Nick's interaction with the three is antagonistic and in the latter episode he even beats them up and throws them in a dumpster.


* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': Despite the admiration from his fangirls, Nick Dean doesn't really care for them and prefers the company of guys. He also appears to be [[HiddenDepths secretly insecure of himself.]] In fact; Nick seems to really appreciate and respect Jimmy more than anybody else, even as far as giving him his lollipop at the end of the movie.

* ''Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO'': C-3PO became a gay icon shortly after his [[Franchise/StarWars film debut]], but the [[TheEighties 1985]] spinoff cartoon ''Droids'' takes the implications further. In addition to being mincing and prissy, Threepio has limp wrists, seems legitimately uncomfortable when a woman hugs him, harbors a fondness for fashion accessories, and shares a surprising amount of chemistry with R2-D2.

In "The Mystery of the Mask", he celebrates his "friendaversary" with Mr. Hockbar and explicitly mentions that when he first met Hockbar, [[LoveAtFirstSight he was enamored with him]].

He is heavily implied to have a crush on Hal, because he clings to him, hugs him, and even ''kisses'' him frequently. It is suggested that Hal feels the same way towards Nature Cat, because he is extremely loyal to him. Sometimes he even says to him "O captain, my captain."
