The image may not be perfect, but none of the movies in the X-Men Film Series show Mystique being attracted to women, so they do deviate from comics canon in that sense. Perhaps the image could be replaced with one showing a character who was gay in the source material, but straight in the adaptation.
Or, how about the inverse: Jonny Quest who had a female love interest in the rebooted series and was redesigned as gay in Jellystone?

"Truman Capote's unmade script for the The Great Gatsby would've had Nick as a closeted homosexual and Jordan as a vindictive lesbian."
I believe this point is based on this quote from Baz Luhrmann about the script: "basically, Jordan is gay and Nick is gay and the script is too hardcore." The script is in fact available online now and it has absolutely no canon queerness at all, apart perhaps from one unnamed character heard speculating on Gatsby's sexuality. I don't know why Luhrmann decided to exaggerate it so much, and imply that the script wasn't used because of its explicit queerness - it wasn't used because it's not a very good script...
- In the anime adaptation of Spice And Wolf, Lawrence's male friend Yarei is changed to the female Chloe, with implications that they've been romantically involved. This can lead to possible Ho Yay for fans who saw the anime before reading the novels or manga.
Quick question: was Lawrence gay in the novel? Because written as it is it looks like Yarei/Chloe was Promoted to Love Interest, rather than anything involving Lawrence's sexuality.

The NBC sitcom Love, Sidney made waves when it was first announced, as it would be the first major television show to feature an openly gay main character. However, the show later faced criticism from the gay community because aside from some very subtle Sub Text, Sidney's sexuality was never mentioned outside of the pilot.
Is the NBC sitcom Love, Sidney an adaptation? If so, this could be clearer. If not, this isn't Adaptational Sexuality, it's Hide Your Gays.
However, some fan fic authors are vexed by the premise that all characters are straight unless proven otherwise in canon, and they genuinely think that slashing them is consistent with the original works.
NOT all characters are straight unless proven otherwise in canon. Don't tell me, "Most people are straight, so most characters are straight as well." Interpretation is up to the viewer, and for that matter, fictional characters often have ambiguous sexualities.
I'm really surprised the dub version Haruka and Michiru weren't mentioned under the Sailor Moon part.

I feel like it's because Dub vs. sub isn't considered an Adaptation. Just guessing.

The page image: Mystique is bisexual in comics so I'm not sure if it contradicts canon completely to have her only with guys in the movies. Even if it does, how does just a picture of her kissing her wife shown next to a picture of her kissing Magneto prove anything?
