* We don't know the sexuality for most characters in ''Literature/TheIliad'' for obvious reasons, but homosexuality being manly was the general attitude at the time (as long as you top). Many point to Achilles's, the most badass of all heroes, [[HoYay suspiciously bromantic]] relationship with Patroclus.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': Leoncio Echevalria is a WickedCultured villainous variant. Unlike CampGay Tim Linton and {{tsundere}}-like Pete Reston, Leoncio is sexually aggressive in a very toxic way, driven to be on top and [[DepravedHomosexual often threatening to "tame" other male characters who defy him]], and publicly and rather luridly calling attention to the fact a confrontation with his rival Alvin Godfrey gave him a hard-on.

A character who is Manly Gay is the complete opposite of the {{Camp}} stereotype. Typically such characters are large and strong and shown doing masculine things like sports. He may have a CarpetOfVirility, he may be a badass, or he may have StoutStrength...but regardless of how he got here, the result is the same: He's manlier than your average man, straight or otherwise.

This is an archetype associated with modern gay porn, but it's also a distilled ideal of gay male culture having roots in Greek philosophy about male sexuality, one that often appeals to other gay men -- one of the reasons it ''has'' become so associated with gay porn. Such characters also appear in other works as a means of telling a GayAesop about how not all gay people are 'like that'. Manly Gay characters are often seen as a form of StraightGay by straight (especially Western) audiences, while it's seen as its own gay stereotype to others (especially Eastern audiences and gay folks themselves).

* ''WebOriginal/YouCouldMakeALife'' is chock-full of this, since virtually all of its main characters are hardcore hockey players. Even "pretty boy" characters like Liam and David are more than able to compete with more heavily-built players on the ice.
