The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
I doubt it. It'd probably be too rare to trope.
I wouldn't mind failure so much, if I didn't fail so much.
You'd be surprised- it's actually pretty common in LGBT fiction, particularly works that want to parody works that have a token gay character.
However, I don't see any tropes that seem like they fit.
Do we have a Token Gay trope?

^ I don't see any trope covering Token Gay or Token Straight. If anyone finds anything relevant, please say so.
There DEFINITELY used to be a Token Gay trope.

Was it cut at some point?
^ Maybe Token Minority is supposed to cover it? Strangely, there is a Token Lesbian trope for when the Cast Full of Gay is specifically full of gay males. Seems weird that there wouldn't be general Token Gay or Token Straight tropes. If a Token Gay trope existed, it would only make sense for a Token Straight trope to exist as well.

I found Token Yuri Girls and Yaoi Guys.

^ Those are relevant, but unfortunately I have to go back to the original thing I was looking for—Token Straight. I'm pretty sure no such trope exists at this point, but maybe someone will surprise me.
It'd probably make more sense to make something like Token Gay, and then say "Token Gay- inverted".

^ I think Token Gay would absolutely be a legitimate trope, but someone earlier said they were sure such a trope existed at some point in the past. Does anybody know if this is true, and if so, why it was cut?
^ Because they turn into those 2 tropes I mentioned?

^ Good point, although I think those two tropes are more specifically about fanservice than most "token" tropes. The issue remains that I can't really say "inverted" for either of them in order to acknowledge a "Token Straight" sort of situation.
I'd say it is inverted Token Minority.
We also have Token White. It may be worth making as a Sister Trope to that.
Do we have a trope for a character who is the only straight one in a Cast Full of Gay (or at least a Cast Full of Ambiguously Gay)?
