* In ''VideoGame/Prey2017'', Chief Danielle Sho and crew member Abigail Joy were revealed to be in a UsefulNotes/{{sapphic}} relationship. Shortly after the period in which the player gains access to the Crew Quarters which contains the pieces which reveal this, Abigail's body is found murdered. The player optionally meets Sho, who is spacewalking outside, at a window and informs her of her partner's death.

* In Creator/RosemarySutcliff's ''The Flowers of Adonis'' (1969), the [[IfItsYouItsOkay otherwise heterosexual]] Arcadius falls in love with a fellow soldier, who immediately dies off-screen between that scene and the next.

* A particularly grotesque version of this in Creator/OrsonScottCard's ''Song Master'': Josif, who is bisexual, marries female Kyaren; they have a happy marriage except he warns her that he's attracted to the inhumanly gorgeous male protagonist, Ansset. She tells him that that's fine, she doesn't mind if he sleeps with Ansset; but he still continues to worry about it. Ansset and Josif do end up getting together. Unfortunately, treatments Ansset received as a boy soprano, to delay puberty, cause a weird chemical reaction, making sex intolerantly painful. Josif is hunted down and castrated as punishment for "raping" Ansset. Josif then dies. His wife remarries the next day and in the epilogue is said to be much happier in this more peaceful relationship. [[note]]It's important to consider that Orson Scott Card is known to espouse homophobic views.[[/note]]

* The first chapter of ''FanFic/WhatLiesBeyondTheWalls'' that centers around Longfang (and also confirms that he's StraightGay) ends with him [[ADeathInTheLimelight getting four arrows to the back in battle]].

As a transgender girl, she puts on the female uniform and tries to go to school presenting the way she's always wanted to...and it goes horribly wrong as she's harassed by classmates who perceive her attire as "CreepyCrossdresser boy" and teachers who insist she put on the male uniform instead or face disciplinary action.

* ''Literature/LastNightAtTheTelegraphClub'': Lily is outed when she's seen fleeing a lesbian nightclub during a police raid by a man from Chinatown who knows her, and finds the scarf that she lost in her flight as well. Her friend Shirley tells Lily, who knows there's no point denying it as a man is a gossip who will tell everyone. She refuses to say that she's confused or anyone forced this on her.

When her Aunt Judy gets her back, her mom again tries persuading Lily to lie that it was just a mistake, guilt-tripping her that this could endanger her dad's citizenship. Lily still refuses though. As a result she's sent away to Pasadena with her aunt and uncle in hopes being away for a while can make people forget, far away from Kath, the girl she loves.
