1!! Tropes associated with this episode
2
3* AlwaysCamp: Roger, Mike's friend and recent college graduate with a degree in photography. The writers deliberately turned it up to eleven, exaggerating his character to prove a point: Not all men who act that way are homosexual.
4* AmbiguouslyGay: Archie sure seems to think this about Roger.
5* CampStraight: Roger's obnoxious, off-beat behavior gives Archie the impression that he's gay, but Mike and Gloria are pretty sure he isn't.
6* ClosetKey and ComingOutStory: Steve's reveals to Archie that he is gay.
7* GayAesop: The whole point of the episode, as seen through Steve's eyes.
8* GayBravado: Archie thinks Steve is putting him on when he reveals his sexual identity ... and that they can still be friends.
9* {{Gaydar}}: Archie thinks he's got one when he is introduced to Roger.
10* HoYay: Lots of it (in-universe) in this episode, and it's just enough to make Archie call his doctor to refill his blood pressure pills.
11* ManlyGay: Steve, a one-time college and professional football player who enjoys beer with his buddies and a good boxing match on TV.
12* RealMenWearPink: Or Roger's loud, bright plaid colors.
