* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' had a sketch where a reverend (host Creator/SamRockwell), begrudgingly meets his gay son's boyfriend...and feels like he recognizes him. Finally, it hits him -- the boyfriend is one of the reverend's favorite gay pornstars.

* In ''Disobedience'' Ronit Krushka is the estranged daughter of Orthodox Jewish rabbi Rav Krushka, to the point his obituary stated that [[IHaveNoSon he had no child]]. It is revealed it is because of her lesbianism.

* Creator/CamClarke covered Music/DustySpringfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" in his album Inside Out. The original song (sung by a woman) is about sneaking around with a PreachersKid; as Clarke (who is male) sings it, it's now about an illicit affair between the preacher's son and another boy.

* In ''Film/{{Disobedience}}'' Ronit Krushka is the estranged daughter of Orthodox Jewish rabbi Rav Krushka, to the point his obituary stated that [[IHaveNoSon he had no child]]. It is revealed it is because of her lesbianism.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Ned Flanders' two sons, Rod and Todd, are implied to be this on numerous occasions.

This is often a problem some people might have about coming out to their family. Religion, particularly Abrahamic religion, hasn't had the best history with the LGBT community (many interpretations of religious texts consider homosexuality to be a sin) and this kid is afraid of how their devout pastor parents might react to this revelation, making it a source of {{Gayngst}}. This may be especially problematic if the parent is TheFundamentalist and/or a HeteronormativeCrusader, as it may make the kid especially afraid that if they come out to them, then [[AdultFear the whole family might turn on them]], lead a [[TorchesAndPitchforks torch-and-pitchfork]]-wielding angry mob against them, or at best send them to some [[CureYourGays "Pray Away The Gay" correctional facility]] "for the good of their soul".

Well, this kid isn't heterosexual (and/or cisgender etc., as the case may be).

Of course, this isn't always the case. There can be cases where, if the kid comes out to their religious parent/family, they will instead be met with open arms, love, and support from said family. It might convince them to change their tune on how they view non-heteros, and of course, lead to AnAesop about acceptance of people who are not straight.

* ''Film/{{Plan B|2021}}'': Lupe is a closeted queer girl, whose dad's a minister. She's reluctant to come out at first, afraid of his possible reaction. However, he reassures her by the end that he'd never reject her, no matter what.

* ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'': In the season 3 episode "Closeface", we learn that Reverend Putty's daughter, Stephanie, is a lesbian because she was in a relationship with Doughy's mother back when they were in school. Of course, Doughy's mom thought it was just a way to get Doughy's dad to notice her. [[spoiler:We also learn that Reverend Putty knows his daughter's a lesbian and is actually okay with that.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'': Matthew's mother is very god-fearing and isn't particularly happy about finding out about his homosexuality. His father is accepting (or apathetic) on the other hand.

* ''Film/FearStreet'': In ''Part Three: 1666'' Hannah Miller, Pastor Miller's daughter, is a lesbian and in love with Sarah Miller. The revelation of their relationship turns almost the whole town against her.

* ''Film/{{Plan B|2021}}'': As a secondary plot, Lupe plans to Sunny she's queer (bi or pansexual, from what she says). However, Sunny realizes for herself on meeting Logan, who's Lupe's girlfriend (Sunny'd [[GenderBlenderName thought it was a guy's name]]). Lupe still hasn't told her dad by the end but has been reassured he would never kick her out and he'd love her no matter what.
