Queer Fest Prompt Post 2013

[queer_fest_mods]

This is the prompting post!

Prompts can be from any fandom. Please read the rules post first.

When leaving prompts, please leave them in the following form: Fandom, characters, prompt. 

Crossovers should be left in the following form: Crossover, fandom a/fandom b, characters, prompt. (please put fandoms in alphabetical order)

RPF prompts should be left in the following form: RPF, fandom(s), characters, prompt.

You can leave as many prompts per comment as you like and as many prompts in one comment as you like! You do not have to plan to claim prompts in order to post prompts and posting prompts does not mean you have to participate in the claiming round. If you wish to recycle prompts from previous rounds of queer_fest or lgbtfest, you are welcome to do so.

Any questions/concerns about prompts should go to the rules post or via pm to the mod account. The rules post has been set to screen all comments to preserve privacy. If it's just a general question and not a problem with a prompt, it will be unscreened. Please contact us if you have a problem.

Things to keep in mind:

• Comics fandoms: When prompts are compiled for claiming, all Marvel comics will be grouped together by universe - i.e., Marvel 616 or Marvel Ultimates, including the X-Men. The same is true for the DC Comics universe. Movies will be grouped together as well. The Avengers movies will be grouped together, but the X-Men and Spider-Man movies will be listed separately because they are not the same 'verse. Likewise, the Nolan Batman movies and Superman movies will be listed separately from the comics and from each other.  So if you want to keep that in mind when you are prompting, that's great! If you don't, that's fine, too, and we'll take care of it during the compiling period.



• This year, we are trying out anon commenting for the first time, due to the LJ situation. Anon comments are screened, and will be unscreened as soon as they are approved. If you post anon prompts, please do check back to see if we have any questions about your prompts.

Happy prompting! Prompting will remain open until Friday, March 15th @ 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

EDITED: You are welcome to add new prompts throughout the prompting period but please do so in a new comment. Do not reply to your old comment or edit your old prompt. We are trying a new way of compiling prompts this year, so we may miss your prompt if you go back and reply to yours or edit your prompt. Just leave a new comment, please.

Prompting is over! Claiming will open on Monday, March 18.

Harry Potter, any character,
When they were a child Caracter A accidentally outed one of their parents as a witch/wizard to a muggle relative. Character A didn't understand why his parents acted like it was such a big deal. Afterall it was just a slip of the tongue. However, now A has their own secret that A is struggling with whether to reveal. [The secret could be orientation, identity, a crush, whatever...] Suddenly A understands how large his or her mistake of years ago was and looks for a way to make amends.

Harry Potter, any characters,
Character A wants to know why Character B needs to make such a fuss about coming out. After all Character A doesn't blather on and on about being straight. Character B responds by casting a spell on A that makes A go silent (or still) and time they are about to use words (or actions) to comment on aspects of their own straightness. Could be played for laughs if you want.

Any fandom, any character, If I wear a top hat and a tie, it doesn’t mean I want to be a man. If I wear makeup and a lace skirt, it doesn’t mean I consider myself a woman. And wearing those things together does not mean I can’t decide what I want to be. I’m not the confused one. In fact, I’ve got it all figured out.
Any fandom, any character, In a universe where 'orientation' means dominant or submissive and bisexuality is the norm, how can an asexual character find the loving relationship they want?

Any fandom, any character, sometimes, being bisexual makes it hard to fit in anywhere.
Any Fandom, any Character, Sure, sometimes being queer might mean difficulties and tensions and awkwardness and outright bigotry and discrimination. But that's who they are, and they wouldn't change it for the world.

Any fandom, any character, the importance- or non-importance- of having a label that fits you, or even knowing that there are labels that aren’t insults.
Any Fandom, Any Character, They're queer and belong to another minority as well. But they won't necessarily feel the same way about both, and don't consider them equally important or interesting, so they're a little tired of people assuming they will.

Any Fandom, Any Character, They've spent their whole life repressing their attraction to the same gender, internalising a view of it as dirty and bad, and while they know intellectually now that this is wrong, they don't know how to stop feeling this way.
Any Fandom, Any Character, Throughout their life they've internalised an idea of sex being bad and wrong, especially two people of the same sex. So when they find themselves very close to a friend of theirs, they justify it as a purer, idealized version of strong friendship that is free from the dirtiness of sex. Unfortunately, that's not exactly true.
Any fandom, any character, Trying to explain the difference between ‘gay for you’ and ‘sexual for you.’
Any fandom, any character, why do hir friends keep treating hir coming out as a joke?

Any fandom, any character, you’re so used to being the token straight person you don't know if you should tell your friends about your single, impossible-to-shake same-sex crush.
Any fandom, any character: Being queer is their favourite thing about who they are. (Turns out, this is not the kind of answer you are supposed to give in a job interview.)
Any fandom, any character: Just because they’re bisexual and aromantic doesn’t mean that the promiscuity stereotype isn’t full of fail. It just really sucks that they can’t come out without making it look true.
Any Fandom, any character: Queer is the only label that ever seemed to fit.
Any fandom, any character: Saying that you don’t think people should discriminate on the basis of gender identity is not the same thing as saying that gender isn’t important.
Any fandom, any character: Sex for them was always sort of like knitting. They knew that if they tried it they'd probably enjoy it, but there are just to many things out there they would enjoy if they tried, and they see no reason to favour it above the rest. If they never get around to it, well, that's no big loss. (Obviously, change the compared activity depending on the character.)
Any fandom, any character: the reason they hate when people ask if they are asexual because they were abused, is because they're scared that it might be true.

Any fandom, any characters, rite of passage: an LGBT character has an unrequited crush on a straight friend.

Any fandom, any homosexual paring, Character A is out and proud. Character B is only partially out (to his friends, say in college, or to the social circle he shares with his boyfriend) but deep in the closet when it comes to his family. Character A feels it’s important that Character B isn’t “embarrassed” by their relationship but Character B feels it’s impossible for him to come out to his family (afraid they will stop loving and financially supporting him which he needs at this time – so teen or college student of some sort).
Any fandom, any character, “I’m not gay, I’m bi.” Character feels that it’s important for him/her to be identified/to identify as bi as opposed to gay. But lately all hir partners have been same-sex so everyone just automatically assumes s/he’s gay. Having to correct even hir closest friends is becoming frustrating.
Any fandom, any pairing, 'Aren't you tired of hiding this from everyone?'
Any fandom, any pairing, They don't fit into traditional ideas of Masculine/Feminine, and that's the way they like it best.
Any Fandom, Any Pairing, They've been friends for a long time now, but after seeing no sign of any sexual attraction to anyone one half comes to conclude that their friend is asexual and tries to put aside their own feelings for them. Except said friend is actually demisexual, and is coming to feel attracted to them.
Any Fandom, Any Pairing, When they discover that their same-gendered friend has feelings for them they immediately frame the whole thing as an unfortunate unrequited love. They avoid the subject and pretend to be oblivious, secretly worrying about what will happen when it finally all comes out. But as time goes on, the more they think about it, the more they wonder if it really isn't such an unpleasant idea, after all.
Any fandom, any queer religious character, their religion is just as important as their queer identity and wishes everyone would stop trying to make them choose one over the other.

Any fandom, any suitable character, As an LGBTQA artist/musician/that kind of thing, their work often is often interpreted using that as a prism. How do they feel about that?
Any fandom, any trans* character, being trans* in prison.
Any fandom, any character, Character is a werewolf, and their sexuality is also dependent on the phase of the moon
Any fandom, any character, he sort of expected that coming out as bi would be hard and that some people would react badly. What he doesn’t understand is why the girl he’d been dating and falling for is suddenly unwilling to see him and convinced he’d been leading her on (and she’s not even homophobic or anything!). Switch pronouns if you wish.
Any Fandom, supernatural, genetically altered characters, etc.: difficulties of being trans when there's a limit to how much you can alter your body (bodies heal, reject surgery, are unaffected by hormone injections, etc.)
Any fandom, any character: It's great that so many of their friends accept their asexuality, but why can't they believe that they're kinky too?
Any Military Fandom, any character, He is surprised when his unit takes his sexuality really well, but their wives don't want his partner hanging around them.

Any science fiction or supernatural fandom, any characters, They didn't think being the same sex would be harder to deal with than being of different species, and yet.
Any Superhero Fandom, Any Lesbian/Bi/Gay Superhero, Being interviewed after coming out. "But why did you have to make such a big deal out of it? Couldn't you just be a hero who happens to be gay, instead of a gay superhero? Why does it have to be all about your sexuality?" After the second "this is as important as punching supervillains," the hero is pretty sure the interviewer stopped listening to the actual answers.
Any fandom, any character, Their new same-sex lover claims they're 'not gay' (and not bi, either); they just like that one person. ('Gay for you') The partner says the label shouldn't matter, but for Character X, it really, really does.
Any fandom, any character, Does it strengthen or threaten their gay identity when they fall in love with a non-op transperson?
Any fandom, any character, the aftermath of someone trying to convince you you're a sexuality you're not isn't ever nice. Especially when they think sex is a great tool to convince you you'd like it even if you are asexual. (Not thinking of rape!fic, though you could do that, but more the idea of it)
Any fandom, any character, a character who has always seemed to be straight finds they're bisexual, deals with biphobia, and people automatically assuming that they have 'gone gay'.

Any fandom, any character, Coming out to your spouse means having your heart in your throat.
Any fandom, any character, Coming out is one thing--changing her/his behavior is another. Even if they're out in a welcoming community, they never quite stop flinching. How does s/he deal with the difference between theoretically knowing they're welcome not to conform and actually not conforming?
Any fandom, any character, a character wrestles with their desire to live freely as an LGBT person and their reluctance to 'come out' to their own family, thinking it isn't their business.
Any fandom, any character, It's great that everyone's going out of their way to be so accepting when a character comes out. Now if they'd just go back to acting normal again.
Any fandom, any character, you lost your entire family coming-out, so it's really unfair that your partner's family barely blinks when he/she brings you home for Christmas.
Any fandom, any character, A newly out person (can be any gender or sexual identity) still finding the edges of themselves attends (or tries to attend) a Pride celebration, and what that does for their sense of self and belonging.
Any Fandom, Any Character, Character X had no problem with being Bi, the problem was dealing with the rest of the world. How do they deal with the fact that they may never have to lie about their sexuality to keep peace in the family or stay out of uncomfortable/unsafe situations but that doesn't mean its the whole true.
Any fandom, any character, A specifically gay or lesbian character finds themself attracted to/in a relationship with someone who doesn't identify with a male or female gender.

Any fandom, any character, (formerly straight) ardent LGBT supporter realizes he/she's gay and worries this weakens their argument for gay rights.
Any fandom, any character, queer people are queer all the time, not just when they're having sex. Not everything we do and say is about our orientation, but it does color a great deal of our interactions. Just give me a fic about someone being queer in every day life, and what that means for them... and what it doesn't.
Any fandom, any character, An ace (asexual) character views sex as simply the necessary currency of love to keep their non-ace lover happy. It's not that they hate it, it's just that they wouldn't complain if the person they loved never wanted sex again. Ever. They have to explain to their non-ace partner why not being lust-crazed doesn't mean they aren't madly in love.
Any fandom, any character, Character X has grown up in a very accepting, loving home. When xe came out to hir parents (as L,G,B, or T), there was no fuss, no drama -- until xe wanted to be an activist in the LGBT rights movement. Believing that 'it's not so bad anymore, hir parents don't see why xe has to raise a fuss' and make trouble where there isn't any. How does Character X deal with being accepted for being queer, but not for being an activist?
Any fandom, any character, how a character deals with casual homophobia (tasteless jokes, thoughtless remarks) when it comes from somebody they care about. Is it worth saying anything when you know they don't really mean to hurt you?
Any fandom, any character, a trans character finds the thing people find hardest to understand about their transitioning is that yes, they are gay now.

Any fandom, any characters, Every time someone calls me “Mister,” I feel disgusted.
Any fandom, any characters, One of them thinks it's wonderful that now they can get married. The other one thinks marriage is a repressive heteronormative institution. Oops?

Any fandom, any male character, he's gay and identifies as male, and works as a drag queen for money. He wishes people would stop assuming that being a drag queen has anything to do with gender identity. While it's annoying for him, he can only imagine how offensive and upsetting it is for someone who is transitioning or has transitioned.
Any fandom, any male character, When he cheats on his girlfriend, everyone seems more upset that he cheated with a guy than the fact that he cheated. 'Bisexual' is apparently an uglier word than 'cheater.'

Any modern day fandom, any character, 'No, you can't have children. They'll be like you' hears an LGBT character from a parent/friend

Any UK fandom, Any female character, She's heartily sick of the white, middle-class, miserable lesbian stereotype.
Are You Being Served, Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries, Homosexuality is still illegal in 1972-85 Britain, which is why Mr. Humphries never discusses his orientation with his fellow salespeople at Grace Brothers Department Store. Of course, with his mincing walk and high-pitched voice, Mr. Humphries is practically a gay stereotype--which is why none of his friends or colleagues from work have figured out that when he talks about a nameless live-in companion as 'my friend' that he might be talking about someone who doesn't fit that stereotype at all...or that, behavior aside, Mr. Humphries's sexuality might not be strictly binary.
Artemis Fowl, any fairy, the LEP has a history of misogyny; how do they react to LGBT officers?
Artemis Fowl, Artemis, Growing up without the supervision made being a young FtM easier. But how does he explain it to his mother after she surfaces? And when he comes back from limbo with the mesmer, is it tempting to make them forget he was ever a girl?
Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl II - Artemis chooses his partners on an individual basis, without consideration for gender or physical sex. He doesn't think that should be cause for scandal and alarm.
Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl II - Everyone knows Artemis isn't the most masculine of boys but only she and (Holly and/or Butler) know that in her mind she doesn't identify herself as one.
Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl II - Following any stint in the time tunnel, Artemis gets reassembled with a female body. While she had never felt comfortable trying to live up to people's expectations of her as a boy, she couldn't put her finger on the problem until she realized that she's never been more comfortable with herself in her life than she is while identifying herself as female both in private and in public.
Artemis Fowl, Domovoi Butler and Artemis Fowl II - Butler has stayed a closeted homosexual all his life, seeing no reason to out himself with the demands his work places on his time and the damaging aspersions people might then throw upon his closeness with Artemis. However one day Artemis informs his bodyguard in as nonchalant a fashion as he can manage that he's discovered he is bisexual. He outs himself clearly, factually, hesitant about Butler's reaction but unashamed.
Artemis Fowl, Holly Short - Holly is an athlete, an officer, a fighter and a lesbian; none of this means that she's 'one of the boys.'
Artemis Fowl, Myles Fowl - When Myles announced that he was engaged to Beau Paradizo, he was met with sincere congratulations from Artemis and a happy 'congrazzles' from his simpleton twin. Their parents reacted more strongly - embarking on a mission to throw a grand wedding of royal caliber, turning it into a highly publicized affair. Myles can't decide if this is something he should be more appreciative of or if absconding with Beau to some remote government office would be a justified reaction.
Artemis Fowl, Opal Koboi - Opal may be a narcissist but that has nothing to do with her lack of sexual interest in others.

Avatar: the Last Airbender, any Avatar, every Avatar remembers both being a man and being a woman. How does this affect their sense of gender?
Avatar: The Last Airbender, any character, Each of the nations have their own view on LGBT rights. The Fire Nation, as the most advanced nation and going through an industrial revolution, is going through a similar revolution regarding queer issues. The Earth Nation, as a wide-reaching and ever-changing country that nevertheless sometimes shuts itself off from the rest of the world, is less positive, but not totally against it. The Water Tribes, very isolated areas that often very much stuck in the past regarding women's rights, are totally against it. And the Air Nomads were supposed to distance themselves from worldly pleasures, anyway. These differences have made things...difficult, at times.

Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko, Zuko's not female, but the Blue Spirit is.
Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko, There was more to Sozin's story than we saw: his diaries also detailed his love for Roku. Reading this helps Zuko confront his queer identity for the first time. (As Iroh predicted, of course.)

Bend it Like Beckham, Jess Bhamra, Her parents have come so far with accepting her for who she is, but she's still terrified to tell them that not only is she dating a non-Indian, she's dating a non-Indian woman. (This may, but need not be Jules)
Bend it Like Beckham, Jules Paxton, She hates it when her mother is right, but off at college she begins to consider that her mother might have been right that she was a lesbian, and that she wasn't jealous of Jess for dating Joe, but of Joe for dating Jess.

Bones, Russ Brennan, When their parents went into hiding it wasn't Kyle who became Russ, it was Kylie.

(right after they find their mother's body, late season 1/early season 2)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rupert Giles, Giles had a hard enough time trying to explain to Buffy and the Scoobies about Ethan Rayne being his friend. He doesn't know how to tell them that 'friend' was a euphemism...or that his present loathing of the man doesn't eliminate other feelings at all.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Spike, Everybody knows that vampires are bisexual, but nobody knows that as a human William was gay.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tara Maclay, She has always been painfully shy. But Tara remembers well the day she decided that she would never be closeted again.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tara/Willow, Dawn got flak at school for having a gay couple as her guardians between seasons 5 and 6. Tara and Willow deal.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Willow, Willow talks about identifying as gay and how she feels about her previous relationships with boys.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Willow and Giles, there are lots of new slayers and lots of them are L, B, T, and/or G; Willow and Giles are role models and teachers, how to Willow's and Giles' differing experiences as queer individuals affect their perspectives on and approaches to mentoring their queer charges? What advice do Willow and Giles share with each other

Circle of Magic, four main characters, There’s a reason they all choose their bond over any other relationship.
Circle of Magic, Kethlun Warder, He’s tired of being on the outside. Tris beats it into him that his sexuality/gender identity doesn’t have to mean he’ll never fit in.
Circle of Magic, Lark/Rosethorn, Deciding who to tell and facing the reactions
Circle of Magic, Niko, It’s not politically correct to court men, and in every other circumstance, Niko feels very comfortable being politically correct.

Doctor Who, Doctor and Rose: a romantic asexual and a sexual try to negotiate a relationship that works for them both.
Doctor Who, Doctor, Sex pollen isn't a particularly pleasant experience for anyone, but for an asexual, it's especially unpleasant.
Doctor Who, Doctor, The Doctor is asexual but not aromantic and it's really awkward how people think affection and sex are the same thing.
Doctor Who, Doctor/any companion, He’s in love with this one, really in love with them, but how can he tell them that that doesn’t mean he can sleep with them? (Sexuality issues, lack thereof, or ‘humans don’t do it for me,’ author’s choice.

Doctor Who, Donna Noble, Donna as MtF. The only guy on Earth she'd found who didn't mind she'd opted out of the op, and Lance tried to sacrifice her to the Spider Queen. Well, with the Doctor, she doesn't have to stick to Earth - and maybe her body wouldn't be considered 'freaky' out there in the black.
Doctor Who, duplicate Tenth Doctor, how does being part Donna influence the Doctor's perception/experience of hir gender?

Doctor Who, Eleven/Amy/Rory, Rory's pov on being attracted to the Doctor. At first he told himself it was just to please Amy but that didn't explain any of the times without her.

Doctor Who, Jack & The Ponds. Captain Jack meets up with Team Tardis (11), and the companions hit it off really well (three-way romantic relationship).
Doctor Who, Jack Harkness and Eleven, The Doctor and Jack meet up again. In this new body, the Doctor finds himself much less reluctant to fulfill some of Jack's fantasies about him. Jack must reconcile yet another change in personality of the man he loves, while the Doctor adjusts to a desire to experiment sexually.
Doctor Who, Martha, She’s afraid that the reason the Doctor can’t see her as a prospective date is that she wasn’t always a woman.
Doctor Who, Martha, Tom tells her he’s bisexual before she can figure out how to say the same thing.
Doctor Who, Melody Pond, One of the best things about being Amy and Rory’s best friend was that Mels could come out to them without worrying that they’d be disappointed in their queer daughter.
Doctor Who, Mickey/Martha/Tom, Mickey came to understand his bisexuality thanks to Jake, Martha learned she could love more than one person at a time thanks to Jack, and Tom loves Martha enough to share. But when he starts having feelings for his wife's boyfriend as well, it's his turn to question who he thought he was and needs a little help of his own.
Doctor Who, Martha Jones/Mickey Smith/Tom Milligan, Tom's always been okay with his open marriage, it works for them. And he's always considered himself straight. So when he finds himself proposing marriage to his wife's new boyfriend, there needs to be some relabeling going on...
Doctor Who, Martha Jones/Rose Tyler, Rose thought she would hate The Doctor's next companion for taking The Doctor from her. She certainly didn't expect to fall for her instead.
Doctor Who, Mickey Smith, Whilst in Pete's World after the Doctor leaves, Mickey finds himself attracted to Jake and questioning his sexuality as they grow closer and closer. How does he bring himself to come out to Rose and her family and what happens when he's given the opportunity to return to his birth reality? (Can go AU if you want)
Doctor Who, Mickey Smith, Mickey has never thought about sexuality beyond that he likes girls; it wasn't important. Then he found out that Ricky was gay. Now he has to reexamine his sexuality.

Doctor Who, Mickey/Martha/Tom, Mickey came to understand his bisexuality thanks to Jake, Martha learned she could love more than one person at a time thanks to Jack, and Tom loves Martha enough to share. But when he starts having feelings for his wife's boyfriend as well, it's his turn to question who he thought he was and needs a little help of his own.
Doctor Who, Peri, just because she wasn't born female and she worked hard for her body, that doesn't mean she's not offended when guys talk to her breasts and not to her.
Doctor Who, River Song -so she likes to flirt, and kissing’s fun, that doesn’t make her any less asexual and people need to quit implying otherwise.
Doctor Who, River Song, Binary gender is such a very human concept, and River Song has always been human plu
Doctor Who, River Song, How do you come out to your parents when a) they actually never really raised you and are in fact much younger than you b) you're married to their (male) best friend and c) your relative chronologies are all screwed up?
Doctor Who, River Song, River is pansexual, the Doctor is asexual, they're still madly in love across time and space. River/women, plastic boyfriends, etc. greatly appreciated. :)
Doctor Who, Rory, He'd told Amy he was bi when they were teenagers. She'd not found it strange, but his family had reacted badly. Their new life with the doctor helps him change his oppression of his bisexual leanings.
Doctor Who, Rose, Jack points out every attractive male, female, alien or other they come across and Rose starts to wonder why she’s not just agreeing about the men.
Doctor Who: Rose/Doctor!Donna - Rose discovers that the Doctor!Donna is a lot more "Donna" than "Doctor" "down there." And, to her surprise, discovers it doesn't matter.
Doctor Who, Rose/Nine/Jack, Rose doesn’t know how to respond to learning that the Doctor’s asexual, but luckily Jack’s not phased in the least.
Doctor Who, Rose/Nine/Jack, To Time Lords, homosexuality is just another reason why lower life forms are just that. When Jack (and Rose) confront him about it, how can the Doctor let go of one of the few connections he still has to his past- his people’s beliefs?
Doctor Who, Sam Jones, Sam had been recreated so many times by the Faction Paradox that it was sometimes tricky to hold onto any sense of her sexuality or gender.
Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Smith, She's always lived by her own rules so she's not going to apologise for being bi, but sometimes she forgets that Earth in the 20th/21st century isn't quite as open about such things as other places she's been.
Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Smith, Sarah was an activist back in the early seventies and not just for women's rights. Either explore her experiences back then as a lesbian or bi woman.
Doctor Who, Second Doctor, Coping with all the changes of regeneration is difficult enough, but the Doctor never expected that his sexuality would change as well.
Doctor Who, Tardis/Jack, Tardis POV
Doctor Who, Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa, Tegan finds the TARDIS is finally the right, safe place to come out - though she didn't expect her first serious girlfriend to be an alien.
Doctor Who, Ten and/or Captain Jack, both have been witness to a lot of history, what is their perspective on the LGBT history they have been around for (Stonewall? The trial of Oscar Wilde? Pink triangles?)
Doctor Who, Ten II/Rose, The human Doctor is okay with the fact that he's intersex -- some of his physiology comes from Donna, after all, and he's always felt that his gender identity has been fluid, even if he hasn't talked about it much. Rose, however, is used to a more binary system of gender identity -- can they work things out?
Doctor Who, Ten.2/Rose, Due to being created part Donna Ten.2 has a different gender identity than the original Ten. Rose is a bit confused that her new boyfriend wants to live openly as MtF.
Doctor Who, the Corsair (mentioned in "The Doctor's Wife"), The Doctor mentions that the Corsair regenerated as both male and female, and was evidently comfortable in both sorts of body. Run with that - was it ever deliberate? Was it unusual/frowned upon in Gallifreyan society to embrace such a fluid gender identity?
Doctor Who, the Doctor (any incarnation), any relevant companions, He loves them, but they're still another species, no matter the outward similarities, and they don't do anything for him, which he doesn't always know how to explain.
Doctor Who, the Doctor, Sometimes it's hard to be asexual and biromantic.
Doctor Who, The Doctor, The Doctor regenerates as a woman, and it's not weird at all.
Doctor Who: Doctor/Jack. Jack's omnisexual and in love with the Doctor, and suddenly doesn't know how to cope with being in love with a happy asexual.

Doctor Who, The Doctor, The Doctor has regenerated into someone ginger--a moderately attractive thirtysomething woman. Ze finds to hir displeasure that even though ze's intelligence and behavior haven't changed one iota, the way people respond to hir certainly has.
Doctor Who, the Doctor, Sometimes it's hard to be asexual and biromantic.
Doctor Who, the Doctor and any companions, the Doctor prefers triads, but he's learnt the hard way that sometimes his human companions have trouble breaking away from a more binary system of relationships.
Doctor Who, Third Doctor, The Doctor has no concept of hiding his sexuality, but now he's stuck on earth in the 1970s and expected to conform to UNIT regulations against homosexual conduct.
Doctor Who, Tom Milligan/Martha Jones/Mickey Smith, their marriage is legally binding on at least fifty planets- just not the one they happen to live on.
Doctor Who, Turlough, Turlough finds it hard to adjust to an English public school in the early 1980s for more reasons than just being an alien.
Doctor Who, Two/Jamie, Jamie has never been with a man before and the Doctor has never been with a non-Time Lord; their relationship would be frowned upon in both cultures (albeit for different reasons.)
Doctor Who: Two/Jamie. The Doctor knows that in Jamie's struggling with feelings that were punishable by death in his time period. He decides a history lesson is a good way to educate him. (Pick or make up a gay positive historical moment for them to visit.)
Doctor Who, Victoria Waterfield, there was hardly even a concept of women loving other women in 1866. Now that Victoria's living in the more liberated 1960s, she has a lot of things to figure out.
Doctor Who, Yates, the stress of being a closeted gay man in a military environment leads Yates to betray UNIT.
Doctor Who, Zoe Heriot, Jamie McCrimmon, Explaining that she's a bisexual to Jamie is more complicated than Zoe would have anticipated; the words Zoe grew up using to describe sexual orientation simply don't exist in the world of 1745...and the 18th century view is that sexuality is something that you do, not someone you are.
Doctor Who, Brigadier/Benton, Doris, the Brigadier's 'wife," is just a codename for Benton, his real, secret lover."
Doctor Who, Tegan Jovanka, In school, she thought it was just a faze. After Nyssa, Tegan decided she was a lesbian. Only, she never fit in with the other lesbians. Now, she's realizing she's FtM and having to deal with that and the fact that she's 5'2' and everyone telling her, 'But you're so pretty...'
Doctor Who, Two/Jamie, Jamie totally understands that he wants a sexual/romantic relationship with the Doctor; it's the Doctor that needs 'convincing' that it's all right.
Doctor Who/Torchwood, Martha Jones, Being with the Doctor - or working with Torchwood - and being out is so very different than being out at UNIT.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Captain Hammer, There's a reason he's never slept with the same girl twice: now that he's out of the public eye, after the Death Ray incident, Captain Hammer is starting to realize he repressed his sexuality so he could fit the image of a hero
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Penny, Penny returns somehow after the events of DHSB, exploration of her ‘stormy’ past (“After years of stormy sailing, have I finally found the bay?”), including her sexuality (possibly in the context of her growing up in foster care)
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, any characters, Sometimes, the line between hero and villain is less important than a common LGBT orientation.

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Captain Hammer, He's a superhero, damn it. He's supposed to have gorgeous women draped all over him. He's even dating the one woman his enemy, Dr. Horrible, is crazy about. So how come all he can think of is passionate gay sex with his arch-nemesis?
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Dr. Horrible, Doc starts working on a sex-swapping ray with the thought of humiliating Captain Hammer. When someone in the local trans community hears about it and offers a group of free (and enthusiastic) test subjects, Doc starts reconsidering the ultimate goal... and whether it's a far more personal project than was first suspected.

Firefly, any character, ze has never been uncomfortable with hir body, but ze doesn't identify with the gender ze was assigned at birth, either.
Firefly, Gabriel Tam and Simon Tam, what Osiris demands from gay men in high society.
Firefly, Inara, She never says outright that it’s just for work, because she doesn’t like to lie, but the Rim planets don’t approve of homosexual conduct, so she never tells them the truth, either.
Firefly, Inara Serra, Some people would have a problem with the fact that Inara doesn’t just have sex with women for credits
Firefly, Jayne Cobb, 'Jayne is a girl's name.'
Firefly: Jayne/Mal. In the end, it turns out Jayne needs someone strong and commanding like Mal to keep him out of trouble, and Mal needs someone a bit bullheadedly stubborn and into trouble making to get him invested and keep him interested.
Firefly, Kaylee, Kaylee understands being open about sex. She thinks it's silly to treat it as a dirty secret when it's obviously one of life's great pleasures, but she has to admit it's starting to bother her that some of the guys on the ship (*coughJaynecough*) seem to think her bisexual orientation means that they're entitled to ask to watch or join in when she's with another girl.
Firefly, Kaylee Frye and Inara Serra, After seeing Inara with a woman client, Kaylee starts to think about her own sexuality. Who better to talk to about it than a friend and Companion?

Firefly, River, River wasn't born with the right body. The Academy offered top notch medical service for all afflictions to its students, without parental consultations
Firefly, River Tam, After River comes out to Simon (as either sly or transgender), she's disappointed to discover that he believes she's just confused by the Alliance experiments and wants to 'fix' her. How does she deal with his reaction and that of the rest of Serenity's crew?
Firefly, River Tam, River knows that it's hard for her brother to tell when she's fully herself and when she's dealing with the consequences of what was done to her, but that doesn't mean she has to like it when he uses that as a reason why she can't possibly be lesbian/bisexual.
Firefly, River, One of the things they did at the Academy was try to make her straight
Firefly, Simon, As soon as he’s settled in on the ship, he finds that the crew has lots of private questions to ask him. Apparently they don’t have Sex Ed on the Rim planets.
Firefly, Simon Tam, it's strange enough liking Kaylee - it's stranger liking Mal.
Firefly, Simon. After years of denying to everyone that he's gay, Simon realizes--after things with Kaylee fall apart--that he actually is.
Firefly, Simon/Kaylee, What she has between her legs isn't anyone else's business as far as Kaylee is concerned, she's perfectly comfortable with her body the way it is. Then Simon had to come along and complicate things.
Firefly, Wash/Zoe, 'Not everybody gets me and Zoe at first glance' - and not everybody realizes quite what's to get (Wash is ftm or Zoe is mtf, or both).
Firefly, Zoe/Wash, Not even the Captain knows Wash's "secret" and Zoe's content to keep it that way. (FtM Wash.)
Flashpoint, any character, In the SRU, secrets can kill, and keeping the fact that they had a sexual reassignment surgery a secret is not an option.

Flight 29 Down, any character, At their one-year reunion someone comes out of the closet. It shouldn't matter...should it?

Glee, Mike Chang, Like it's not bad enough that he's the 'other Asian' - he knows if he comes out (as gay, bi, or trans), he'll just be the 'other queer.'
Glee, Rachel Berry, Broadway may be gay friendly but it seems that doesn't count for open bisexuals. 
Glee, Rachel Berry, Rachel has two gay dads so coming out as bisexual should be a piece of cake, right? WRONG. Biphobia is very real, and Rachel and her dads have to work through an understanding.

Glee, Sam Evans, When Sam comes out as bi he expects support from Kurt, not the same biphobia he gets from straight people.

But how can she explain to him that while she really, really likes him, she just doesn't feel any attraction to him at all? She's having a hard enough time explaining it to herself. Blaine and Brittany are the only gay kids in glee, right? Right
Grease, Danny/Kenickie, queer in the 50s
Grease, Danny/Kenickie, they've always been friends, but there was one night, long ago, when something more (up to the author) happened. After ten years of marriage with its ups and downs, they're on a trip alone together and memories of that night resurface. It's the end of the sixties/beginning of the seventies, where these things are no longer completely behind closed doors, and the guys have talk, leading to another encounter. They have to figure out if it's even possible for it to be more than this one encounter, and if they do, how they're going to handle it.

Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Maybe all the time he spent noticing Tom's handsomeness, Sirius's handsomeness, Cedric's classic good looks, and Draco's gleaming white-blond hair should have clued him in earlier. Will he keep this secret like so many other things he'd rather not talk about, or will he be The Boy Who Came Out?
Harry Potter, Harry, Hermione, and anyone else at Hogwarts with Harry (at least one of whom is queer) five conversations about sex.
Harry Potter, Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy. Harry and Draco have become friends after the war, but this friendship also brings to the surface their long time attraction to each other. How their loved ones will react? How will it affect their relationship, and their own emotional side?
Harry Potter, Harry/Draco, their wedding is the media sensation of the decade. How does it feel for the participants?
Harry Potter, Harry Potter/Ron Weasley, it never occurred to Ron that marrying Hermione would mean spending less time with Harry.
Harry Potter, Harry/Ron and Hermione/Ginny, The marriages were just to cover up Harry and Ron's and Hermione and Ginny's relationships - what happens when this comes out in the Daily Prophet?
Harry Potter, Harry/Ron/Hermione, the wizarding world is slightly more accepting of bisexual polyamory than the muggle equivalent, but not that much.
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, the first thing Hermione does after coming out is to form a queer-themed campaign group
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Hermione is surprised by her parents' reaction when she comes out to them.
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, while researching for a History of Magic project she discovers that the Wizarding World is surprisingly relaxed about transgender people and same-sex extramarital affairs, but absolutely draconian when it comes to a lack of interest in getting married to or having children with the opposite gender. This may lead to some problems in her future.
Harry Potter, Lee Jordan & Fred and George Weasley, Lee's had the twins' help hiding that he was born female, but now puberty's hit and he can't hide it as easily. The twins come up with a way to keep his secret. (FtM Lee)
Harry Potter, Lily Evans, Lily isn't sure whether Petunia is more offended by her witchcraft or her bisexuality. She only knows that she can't stop being either magical or bi, even if it would be less risky.
Harry Potter, Lily Potter (II), The Wizarding World has always been socially conservative, and--thanks to the small population and the many war deaths--is now both overtly and covertly stressing the importance of marriage and children. Lily, now grown-up, is perfectly willing to marry her girlfriend and eventually adopt a child or two, but that's not what her family or her fellow wizards had in mind
Harry Potter, Luna, Luna never really was sure what the big fuss about being GLBT was - not until she has to defend one of her loved ones.
Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, being LGBT was just one more thing they teased hir for.
Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, Luna comes out as bisexual and encounters biphobia. She finds understanding in another out character.
Harry Potter, Narcissa Malfoy, she loves her husband dearly, but she's never been attracted to men.
Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom; the reason Neville is so good at Herbology and so bad at romance is because plants don't care if you're not sexually attracted to them, and people, it seems, do.
Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks is bigender, but can only express this in secret - and, later, in undercover ops.
Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, being a Metamorphagus, Tonks doesn't think of hirself as male or female: zie's both
Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, As a bisexual, Tonks has a difficult time explaining to her lesbian friends why she wants to get married, especially knowing that her friends can't.
Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, Tonks can change sex as easily as she can change her nose, which is invaluable to the Order's war effort. While she's working undercover as a man, she gets romantically involved with a male Muggle, forcing her to evaluate her own gender identity...as well as how the Muggle world's attitude toward gay rights compares to the Wizarding world's.
Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, What nobody knows about Tonks is that she wasn't born with all the right bits, so when she discovered she was a metamorphmagus she pushed it harder than any had before.
Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks/Remus Lupin, Tonks loves Lupin. Lupin loves Tonks. They discover that they both prefer sex when Tonks is in male form. Tonks reevalutes zir gender identity, Lupin realizes he's bisexual.
Harry Potter, Padma and Parvati Patil, Their House isn't the only difference between them.
Harry Potter, Parvati or Padma Patil or Dean Thomas or Blaise Zabini (or anyone else who might fit), They're already a minority as one of Hogwarts' few non-white students. Is it worth coming out as LGBT and adding yet another minority to the list?
Harry Potter, Percy/Oliver, Percy dances with Oliver at Ginny's wedding so he doesn't have to do the whole coming out speech. He's worried about his brothers' reactions but Molly is the most upset because he didn't trust her enough to confide in her.
Harry Potter, Petunia and Lily Evans, Petunia Evans hated her sister ever since Lily laughed and told her that there was no magic spell to make these strange feelings go away.
Harry Potter, Petunia Dursley, the reason why Petunia hated Lily so much was because Lily was allowed to be different. Petunia had to keep all her differences inside for appearances sake. (Petunia is closeted lesbian or trans.)
Harry Potter, Remus Lupin, Remus thought life was hard enough, being a werewolf, but when he realized he was gay, too, he sometimes wondered if it would be easier in the Muggle world.
Harry Potter, Remus Lupin/Sirius Black, Sirius left home because his family kicked him out when they found out about him and Remus.
Harry Potter, Remus/Sirius, The day they told Harry about their relationship.
Harry Potter, Remus/Sirius, Remus thinks they should just tell Harry about their relationship, but Sirius is worried that Molly Weasley will use it as an excuse to further limit his access to Harry.
Harry Potter, Remus/Tonks, Remus wouldn't have married Tonks if she hadn't gotten pregnant by a person or persons unknown and he hadn't felt obligated to do the honorable thing before considering the problems of being a gay werewolf married to a straight human. Tonks doesn't know how to tell Remus that her 'lovelorn' behavior was a yearlong act to convince the Death Eaters that she'd lost her powers, that she knew all about Remus's lover (or lovers) and that she has a girlfriend in Chelsea.
Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Marauder era: Snape loved Lily because she was the only one who never judged him for being queer. After the 'Mudblood' incident', the Marauders now have new arsenal for their abuse.
Harry Potter, Sirius Black, never looking back at all the girls ogling him is less to seem indifferent and more because their glances don't register.
Harry Potter, Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, AU, Some people don't think that a gay couple should be raising a little boy. When little Harry innocently tells a reporter that the name is short for Harriet, the criticism becomes a firestorm, and the two men have to fight to keep their family together
Harry Potter, Teddy Lupin, no one things anything of it when Teddy's hair or his nose changes, so why are they having so much trouble accepting this? (MtF!Teddy)
Harry Potter, Victoire Weasley, Victoire's tired of the assumptions and innuendo surrounding her Veela heritage - which may have something to do with her reluctance to acknowledge her pansexuality. 
Harry Potter, Xenophilius Lovegood, Xenophilius has always told Luna that her mother died in a magical accident. As she grows up, he wonders if he'll ever be able to tell her that he IS her mother.
His Dark Materials, any character with a same-sex daemon, What does having a same-sex daemon mean about your gender or sexual orientation, if anything? Or does it just mean that people assume things? What is it like to grow up with everyone knowing you have a same-sex daemon?
His Dark Materials, Lyra Belacqua, She was the one who said they should try and move on, but being with women means she'll never really risk falling in love with someone who isn't Will. Or so Lyra keeps telling herself. But the argument's becoming less and less convincing...
House, Chase/any, he got thrown out of seminary school because he was found with another boy
House, Chris Taub, Taub has always admired beauty in all its forms, especially the human body. That's why he went into plastic surgery, after all. This fascination with beauty led him to realize his bisexuality as a teenager. However, he forced himself back in the closet upon meeting Rachel (he was going to be with her, so it didn't matter that he liked men too), and it isn't until taking the job with House that it begins to resurface. He tries to quash any sense of closeness with Kutner to hide an attraction he won't admit, and Thirteen notices and calls him out on it.
House, Greg House, He's never been one to abide by social norms
House, Gregory House, Part of the reason that House never got along with his Marine pilot father was that John House didn't understand it when his daughter Greta insisted that she was and had always been a boy.
House, Gregory House, House plays the pronoun game, not out of any desire to be closeted, but because he loves to toy with his team.
House, House, a colleague rightly suspects that not all the hookers House hires are female
House, House, There were other reasons for the bad blood between him and his father; namely, men should *be* men, not *be with* men.
House, House/Wilson, James Wilson regards his relationship with Gregory House as best friends with the sexual teasing cranked up to eleven...until one day when a line is unmistakably crossed, and Wilson has to deal with the fact that somewhere along the way, he drifted into a gay relationship that defies anything approaching conventional definition.
House, House/Wilson, 'That's why you push everyone away! Because you're afraid if they get close they'll figure it out!'
House, House/Wilson, When all of their neighbors think that they are gay, Wilson, who actually is, is deeply hurt by House pretending, until he finds out that he isn't.
House, House, House is uncharacteristically nice to a transgender patient, leading others to wonder why.
House, House/Wilson, if Wilson was awkward when people wrongly suspected he and House were a couple, well, he's going to be impossible to live with now.
House, James Wilson, the worst thing about coming out as bisexual is what people assumes it means for his failed marriages.

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

House, Thirteen, Thirteen wonders why people think that her liking sex has anything to do with her bisexuality.
House, Thirteen, A few years after she leaves House's team, Thirteen takes on a new challenge - Asking her girlfriend to become her wife and telling her father.
House, Thirteen, College provided her freedom from her past and her dead mother, but mostly freedom to date whomever she wanted without her father knowing. But every time she went home she felt more and more uncomfortable lying to her father about her girlfriends and going back into the closet. How did she deal with it?
House, Thirteen & House/Wilson, Thirteen knows that House is bisexual and hopelessly in love with his best friend, but she has to open up about her own experiences to get him to do something about it.
House, Thirteen/Cameron, AU How would things have been different at work if Thirteen had set her sights on Cameron instead of Foreman?
House, Thirteen/Cuddy, 'I wish I could be who you are, Remy.'
House, Thirteen/Foreman, There are some things Thirteen doesn't get about being a person of color, and there are some things Foreman doesn't get about being queer.
In Plain Sight, Marshall, He doesn’t think Mary would take his bisexuality badly, but he doesn’t want it to become ammunition, even in her benevolent way.
In Plain Sight, Marshall, It’s not so much hiding as creatively not mentioning.
In Plain Sight, Mary, Marshall is the only one she’ll ever tell that some days, she feels more like a man.
In Plain Sight, Stan, Stan will do anything to protect his inspectors, but when news of his same-sex relationship comes to light, it’s Mary and Marshall who have to defend him.
Jeeves and Wooster, Aunt Agatha, The reason Aunt Agatha wants to marry Bertie off so badly is because, as a lesbian, she knows full well how hard it is to survive in a world out to get you, and she wants to save Bertie from that pain.
Jeeves and Wooster, Bertie Wooster, Honoria confesses that the reason she wants to marry Bertie is she thinks he's gay like she is. Bertie had never even considered the idea before. Now that he's faced with it, how does he deal with coming out to himself?
Jeeves & Wooster, Bertie Wooster, just because one has no interest in beazels does not mean one must have an interest in fellows. I mean to say, there is the possibility that neither sex is the fairer, as it were.
Jeeves & Wooster, Bertie Wooster, on one of his stays in New York, Bertie ends up in a club for homosexuals while looking for a speakeasy. A new world and new possibilities are revealed to him, but as always, he ends up engaged before the evening is through. Can Jeeves get him out of this one? Does he want to get out?
Jeeves & Wooster, Bertie Wooster/Reginald Jeeves, Jeeves had assumed that Bertie had some experience in sexual matters between men - at the very least, he did go to Eton - but alas not. The first careful steps in their intimate relationship proves... trying.
eeves and Wooster, Bertie Wooster/Reginald Jeeves, Bertie wonders why, if Jeeves can do anything, he can't make people accept their relationship.
Jeeves and Wooster, Reginald Jeeves, his annual vacation is the only time Jeeves can truly be himself, and the only time he permits himself to indulge in sexual activites suited to his secretly invert nature. When circumstances make it necessary for Mr. Wooster to join him for a short while, Jeeves finds it incredibly hard to mentally 'shift gears' again.
Jeeves and Wooster, Reginald Jeeves/Bertie Wooster, Bertie ends up in a sexual situation with a woman for the first time, with disastrous results. In fact, he found the whole affair rather distasteful. Convinced that he must be doing something wrong, Bertie desperately wants to ask Jeeves for advice. But how to broach the subject?
Jeeves and Wooster, Reginald Jeeves/Bertie Wooster, a public figure is arrested on charges of homosexuality, and the case makes Bertie and Jeeves, both of whom are hiding their true natures for the other, rather uneasy. A tense atmosphere develops in the Wooster household, and at some point, something (or someone) has to break.
Jeeves and Wooster, Reginald Jeeves/Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, Bertie still looks young, but he's getting on in years, it's becoming more and more clear that he really is one of nature's bachelors. Out of concern (for the man he secretly loves) and fear (for what society will assume and, eventually, take action against), Jeeves puts his considerable mind to the task of getting Bertie married off.
Jeeves and Wooster, Reginald Jeeves/Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, Bertie's not as innocent as everyone, Jeeves included, thinks. He's perfectly aware that he's an invert, and knows very well both how to be discreet about it and how and where to find company for an evening, should he require it. When Jeeves finds out, however, he's furious.
Jeeves and Wooster, Bertie Wooster/Reginald Jeeves, Bertie and Jeeves are outed as being in a relationship and are sent to Sir Roderick Glossop's mental institution.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Dr. George Huang, Huang came out as gay during a case involving the sexual molestation of a little boy named Cory Banks ('Hardwired," Season 11, Episode 5, first shown on October 21, 2009). Now a few months have passed. No one has said too much...but Huang isn't sure if that means his sexuality is a non-issue to the Special Victims Unit or if it's an issue but people simply aren't talking about it, at least not to him.",
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Elliot Stabler, Olivia's not the reason Elliot's marriage isn't working out. Catholic guilt is hard to reconcile, especially when you're not only unfaithful, you're unfaithful with other men.
Leverage, Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer(/Parker), Alec doesn't do anything his Nana said don't do. He's not sure what she'd think about this.
Leverage, any character, travelling all over the world, always working alone - picking one label and sticking to it didn't really seem to matter. Now they're supposed to be one person, all of the time, and maybe this is going to take some thought.
Leverage, any character, before you had a team, bisexuality was the smartest business decision. Now that your life's not in danger, how do you figure out if it's right for you?
Leverage, any character, Five lies s/he wouldn't have told if s/he'd been straight
Leverage, any character, Maybe the team will never be entirely honest, but this doesn’t have to be a secret anymore
Leverage, Eliot Spencer(/Parker/Alec Hardison), Eliot's tough enough that he can usually handle any problem that comes their way, if Hardison can't get rid of it first. But he's never really dealt with homophobia before either.
Leverage, Eliot, Eliot has slept with a lot of models, he never said they were all women.
Leverage, Eliot Spencer/Alec Hardison/Parker/Sophie Devereaux/Nate Ford, How do thieves negotiate the idea of possession in a poly relationship?
Leverage, Eliot/Hardison/Parker, Hardison gets annoyed when Eliot takes issue with them touching during sex. Parker can't always be in the middle like a barrier.
Leverage, Elliot, Elliot isn't used to being around people who encourage him to be himself. (Elliot is G/B/T)
Leverage, Elliot Spencer, Elliot is FtM. How does he deal with Hardison and Parker finding out his history?
Leverage, Eliot, Some days he understands women, some days he doesn't. This usually coincides with whether he feels like a woman that day.
Leverage, Eliot(/Parker/Hardison), Eliot had lots of sex because you couldn’t pick someone up at a bar and ask if you could hold them for an hour. Now that he’s met Hardison, who loves computers more than people, and Parker, who… well he hasn’t really figured her out yet. But maybe they can make this a win/win/win.
Leverage, Hardison/Elliot/Parker, How can Hardison bring home his partners-in-crime - and his male and female lovers - to meet his nana?
Leverage, Hardison/Elliot/Parker, Hardison is surprised when, after a post-crime celebration, Elliot kisses both him *and* Parker. He thought he was the only queer on the team
Leverage, Hardison/Parker, heteromantic-asexual!Hardison/aromantic-bisexual!Parker, Hardison is crazy about Parker, but he doesn't want to have sex. Parker is okay with having sex, but she's never really figured out how relationships are supposed to work.
Leverage, Nate, He was alright with Maggie being bisexual, but he doesn't know if he feels the same with Sophie
Leverage, Nate/Eliot, Nate spent all his life trying to be the good Catholic boy from Boston, even if he knew it wasn't really who he was; he had the wife the kid and the great job... Now that it's all fallen apart, how does he find the strength to finally be himself, especially when the person he's fallen for is as deeply in the closet as he is?
Leverage, Nate/Eliot, Nate spent all his life trying to be the good Catholic boy from Boston, even if he knew it wasn't really who he was; he had the wife the kid and the great job... Now that it's all fallen apart, how does he find the strength to finally be himself, especially when the person he's fallen for is as deeply in the closet as he is?
Leverage, Parker, she doesn't get why it's such a big deal to the team that she got caught making out with a girl. Eliot's done it before, she's made out with Hardison - why should this be different?
Leverage, Parker, Parker has always been a tomboy. Now she wants Eliot to teach her how to be a man.
Leverage, Parker, Parker never understood why Eliot thought it was funny she said crime was better than sex. (Asexual Parker)
Leverage, Parker(/?), Parker doesn't understand why the team (well, Hardison and Eliot anyway) can't seem to figure out that she likes girls too
Leverage, Parker(/Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer), Sex is sometimes a useful tool, and she likes the kissing, but Parker really isn't interested in sex for its own sake. The others seem to think this has something to do with her childhood - she tries to explain to them that she's not damaged or broken. She knows what she wants and sex isn't a part of it. (It doesn't mean she doesn't love them all the same.)
Leverage, Parker/Sophie, Parker's always known she was pansexual, while Sophie's just finally figuring out who she really is, how do they forge a relationship together while living on the run and going from job to job and con to con
Leverage, Sophie, Long before she met Nate the first time, Sophie was actually Steven.
Leverage, Sophie Devereaux, Sophie is ftm, and has to choose between being himself and being read as an attractive woman capable of manipulating any man into doing his bidding.
Leverage, Sophie, Nate’s the only man who ever accepted Sophie’s gender identity without the possibility of a payout.
Leverage, Sophie and Nate, Sophie's favorite part of the flirting dance she does with Nate is that they both know nothing will come of it. (Sophie is a lesbian, Nate is gay) 
Leverage, Sophie Devereaux, the characters she's created have various orientations and Sophie Devereaux, who she's been for so long, was firmly heterosexual. But while there are many things about Sophie that she is or wants to be, that isn't one of them.
Leverage, Tara, Tara is having enough trouble gaining trust and acceptance from Nathan's team; she really doesn't want them to know she used to be a man. Problem is, if information exists in electronic form anywhere, Hardison will eventually find it
Lie To Me, any character(s), a suspect in a case says that they're LGBT as part of their alibi, even though they're really straight/cis. How does an LGBT employee of the Lightman Group respond to this?
Lie To Me, any character(s), if being abused is something that may make someone become a natural at reading emotions, what does being closeted do to a person?
Lie to Me, any member of the Lightman Group, On trying to be closeted in an environment where everyone is an expert lie detector. Bonus points if the character concocts all sorts of schemes (e.g. drugs, expertly-constructed and practiced lies, etc.) to stay closeted, only to find out in the end that everyone knew all along.
Lie to Me, any member of the Lightman Group, Someone they're interviewing for a case claims not to be LGBT (which is important to the case in some way), but one member of the Lightman Group can tell otherwise. How does this character's own LGBT identity affect hir feelings and ultimate decision re: whether/to whom/etc. to tell the truth?
Lie To Me, Cal Lightman/any man, explaining this to his daughter is not going as well as expected (Bonus points if it's Cal/Richard Castle (Castle) and one daughter takes it well were the other doesn't.)
Lie To Me, Eli Loker, having a policy of radical honesty doesn't mean that Loker has to be out at work, does it?
Lie to Me, Eli Loker, coming out as gay to the rest of the Lightman Group actually is a big deal - none of them figured it out.
Lie To Me, Emily Lightman, Emily's not ready to come out to her parents, but she's well-acquainted with the futility of hiding anything important from her father.
Lie To Me, Gillian Foster, taking her statement of 'I was that [basketball-obsessed] little boy' literally, what was her childhood like? What does it mean to her now?
Little Women (Louisa May Alcott), Beth March, She never cared to find herself a husband.
Lola - The Kinks (song), Lola, Some of Lola's backstory, maybe, or how she feels the night she surprises a naive young man who then falls for her even after her big reveal
Malcolm in the Middle, Jamie and Francis, Jamie's never felt 'right' as a boy; zie finds more than support with Francis - or rather that should be Frances. Looks like Mom gets to have two daughters now.
Marvel Comics, X-Men, Anole (Victor Borkowski), Santo "outs" him. Everyone had figured it out already and the only embarrassment is that Santo hadn't.
Marvel (X-Men - any version), any mutant character, how does a LGBT mutant character feel about attempts to explain the reason for people being LGBT as being totally down to genetics as their mutation is.
Marvel (X-Men - any version), Emma Frost, People seem to accept that she's overly sexual and wears skintight leather and corsets everyday, but the idea she finds other women arousing is too much to take? Please.
Marvel (X-Men - any version), Jean-Paul Beaubier, He wasn't always an out and proud gay mutant superhero. At first he tried to stay inside his closet. But trying to remember who he could be gay in front of, but not a mutant, or vice versa, or neither, soon caused him to crash and burn in spectacular fashion.
Marvel (X-Men - any version) any mutant character, An LGBT mutant working for mutant rights stays in the closet; their close friends know s/he does not want to springboard gay rights off mutant rights or vice versa, no matter how much one affects the other in their politics.

Marvel (X-Men Movieverse), Bobby Drake, He's already been rejected by his family when they found out he was a mutant. Now, he's reestablished a relationship with them - and coming out might break it. His thoughts on coming out. (author's choice if he does or doesn't - I'd love to see him focus on the choice to admit/deny it.)
Marvel (X-Men Movieverse), Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr, The parents of one or more of their early students discovers their relationship and disapproves - it's a school after all! How do Charles and Erik resolve the situation? (preferably without wind wipes and/or a body count)

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

Marvel (X-Men Movieverse), Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr, Will being open about their sexualities/relationship cloud the issue of mutant rights? 
Marvel (X-Men Movieverse), Erik Lehnsherr, What are Erik's reactions to finally seeing gay marriage and civil unions becoming established in the USA?
Marvel (X-Men Movieverse), Marie (Rogue), taught that homosexuality was wrong, Marie struggled to finally admit to herself that she liked girls and that's OK. But when kissing her first girlfriend goes horribly wrong, how does that affect her confidence, especially now that she can no longer physically express her sexuality

Maurice, Alec Scudder, he can't quite stop trying to think of one of them as the wife, for all Maurice's talk of friends.
Maurice, Alec Scudder, he's never been in a relationship before, girl or boy; it's not entirely what he'd expected.
Maurice, Clive Durham, it's a bit of a relief, really, that Anne's too proper to show interest in the whole... sex thing; he had thought, once, that his reluctance with Maurice was because they were both men. (Clive as bi-romantic asexual)
Maurice, Kitty Hall, no one in the family ever knew that there were two queer Hall siblings.
Maurice, Maurice Hall/Alec Scudder, Maurice had nearly forgotten that he had once seen Alec enjoying the favours of two women at the same time, it hadn't seemed relevant for years.
Merlin, any female character, nobody in Camelot seems to mind if fall in love with another woman, provided that eventually you get married and have kids. How long is it possible to put off 'eventually'?
Merlin, Arthur (Arthur/Merlin optional), Uther knows that Arthur is interested in men, and accepts it as long as Arthur is willing to keep it a secret and get married. But for Arthur, the issue isn't whether he can live by these terms but whether he's okay with receiving such conditional acceptance from his father
Merlin, Arthur Pendragon, 'You're gay? But you're a guy's guy!' Somehow, it's harder coming out to new people when you don't look stereotypically gay.
Merlin, Arthur ?/ Merlin, Merlin is the only one who knows he’s actually a woman, and that can never change.
Merlin, Arthur, (Modern AU) How does the world react to the first openly gay monarch?
Merlin, Arthur, the regard of his people means more to him than almost anything, and that is why the truth can never come out

Merlin, Arthur/Merlin, there's nothing going on between them, there can't possibly ever be, they both know that, so why does Merlin keep spending nights in Arthur's bed anyway?
Merlin, Elyan, His sister’s not the only one whose love for Arthur is more than that of a servant for a king.
Merlin, ensemble, Merlin hides being magic. Arthur hides being bi. Gwen hides dissatisfaction with gender. Morgana manages to figure it all out.
Merlin, Gwaine, Being GBTQ didn’t matter when he never spent more than a week in one place, but now that he’s a Knight of Camelot- now that he has so much to lose- how can he tell his friends? Bonus points for having to come out to object of affections as well, but not required.
Merlin, Gwaine/other characters, Gwaine doesn’t see anything wrong with loving more than one person at a time, but another character/s is/are having trouble understanding and/or accepting it.
Merlin, Lancelot, It's easier to let people assume he's in love with Gwen. The truth is he barely notices her when Arthur's around.

Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, five Reincarnations where they weren't able to be together and one where they ended up together

Merlin, Morgana, The irony is that Uther Pendragon actually had two sons.

National Treasure, Abigail Chase, It's flattering when a man as handsome as Benjamin Franklin Gates makes a pass at you, but how do you tell him that you have a girlfriend? 
National Treasure, Ben/Riley, Ben and Riley have always had a thing on the side, neither being good at getting/keeping girlfriends, but it's only after Ben meets Abigail, his complete intellectual match, that he realizes she's missing what he really wants in a partner - and figures out what/who he *does* want.
National Treasure, Riley Poole, At first, he'd become Ben's friend because of his talk of treasure. He'd stayed Ben's friend for an entirely different reason. How do you tell your best friend that you're attracted to them? 
NCIS, Abby Sciuto, she isn't self-concious about being goth, but somehow being queer is a whole different story.
NCIS, Abby Sciuto, people always seem to assume she's not straight/into alternative sexualities just because she looks different. Just because one or both of these things are true doesn't make the assumption any less stupid or annoying.
NCIS, Abby Sciuto/Jethro Gibbs, Abby is asexual and heteroromantic, and the only man who's ever gotten that is Gibbs.
NCIS, Abby Sciuto/Tony DiNozzo/Tim McGee, falling into a threesome was easy . . . figuring out a stable triad (with people you work with!) is harder, but worth the effort. 
NCIS, Abby Scuito, Getting your plumbing turned outside-in. It's so [...] Way beyond hinky. It's, uh...' [From 1.19, 'Dead Man Talking'.] The lady doth protest too much. Abby is trans.
NCIS, Abby/Ziva, Abby's never revealed that she's had relationships with women, but she has. Ziva's hinted that she has, but no one's ever been sure if her hints were jokes or truth. What happens when Abby makes it a point to find out?
NCIS, Abby, McGee wasn't the first guy she dated, but he was the first one who didn't assume that being bi and kinky meant she'd be okay with an open relationship

NCIS, Gibbs, We've seen Gibbs treat homosexual people respect on the show, but he's not been *quite* as respectful of trans people. Why is one more uncomfortable for him to deal with than the other?
NCIS, Gibbs' ex, We've seen Shannon, Stephanie and Diane. Gibbs' final ex-wife shows up - as a man. He is unexpectedly relieved when 'her' ex-husband is supportive.

NCIS, Jethro Gibbs, Gibbs doesn't feel a need to out sailors and Marines to the wrath of DADT, but is he ready to out himself?
NCIS, Jimmy Palmer, After Agent Lee is killed after being discovered as the mole, Jimmy goes the cliche route of swearing off women. He also goes the non-cliche route of drowning his sorrows in gay clubs, where he surprisingly gets hit on quite a lot - which makes him think.
NCIS, Kate, Kate was not quite a good Catholic girl; at least not the times she had sex with other women.
NCIS, Kate Todd, Kate's crack about a 'shemale' in 'Dead Man Talking' (episode 1.19) is due to her conflicted feelings about her own gender.

NCIS, Tim, Abby's the only one who's ever really gotten it when he told her he was a gray Ace, but after being stuck in an elevator with Tony and Ziva for five hours he's willing to try to make them understand. Just to stop the unending stream of innuendos if nothing else.
NCIS, Tony (/McGee if prompter begs?), Physically, women are the hottest thing ever. Emotionally, he has always connected better with men. Finally, he decides to try the physical with someone he's emotionally close to, and hits the jackpot.
NCIS, Tony, In the episode Dead Man Talking, Tony was clearly upset about having kissed a MtF transexual. But it wasn't because Amanda Redd used to be a guy, it was because she murdered a good friend of his. Of course, playing up that he hated kissed a guy is good cover in a pseudo-military organization, too
NCIS, Tony, Tony's always been free with sharing details about his hookups. People have often said he's overcompensating or covering for something. He wasn't - until he turned down Rome because of his feelings for Gibbs, and not his feelings for Jeanne

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

Numb3rs, Don Eppes (or Don Eppes/Colby Granger), the reason he has such a hard time settling down with a nice girl is that what he really wants is a nice boy.
Numb3rs, Don, Don might not be entirely comfortable with his brother’s sexuality, but that doesn’t mean he’ll let anyone give Charlie shit about it.
Numb3rs, Don/Colby, Don's flirting pisses Colby off and he ends up making a comment to Don which accidentally outs them.

Numb3rs, Ian Edgerton, he really hates wearing trousers, but they're better for the job

Sherlock (BBC), John/Sherlock, Facing homophobia during an investigation.
Sherlock (BBC), John/Sherlock. Sherlock can see that John is bi -- the signs are obvious. Can he make John see it too?
Sherlock (BBC), Sherlock Holmes or Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, The murder of a transperson has Sherlock particularly agitated, as he himself is FTM. John refusing to let up asking about it is not helping.
Sherlock (BBC), Sherlock Holmes/any character, He's asexual, not aromantic. You'd have to be an idiot not to understand the difference. Unfortunately, most people are.
Sherlock (BBC), Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Growing up with a gay sister, John didn't think he had anything remotely like internalized homophobia. But then, he'd never fallen in love with a man before.
Sherlock (BBC), Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Just because Sherlock is asexual, doesn't mean he doesn't want to have sex with John. This is very hard for John to understand.

Sherlock (BBC), John and Sherlock: I've seen quite a bit of trans!Sherlock fic, but I'd be really interested to see more with John as the FTM one. How does he deal with Sherlock being so ~observant?

Sherlock, Sherlock and Mycroft, He knows it’s irrational, but one of the reasons that he hates Mycroft (only one of them, mind you) is that he took away Sherlock’s big sister.
Sherlock, Sherlock/John: Five times someone accuses John of cheating because he has sex with people who aren't Sherlock. Ace!Sherlock.

Sherlock Holmes (either ACD or '09 movie), Holmes/Watson, How do Holmes and Watson react when they uncover a homosexual love affair between a politician and his secretary? Can they solve their current case without revealing the affair to the world? It would be rather hypocritical, after all, given the nature of their own relationship.
Sherlock Holmes 2009, Holmes/Watson, Watson has always suspected that Holmes might be gay, observing the contempt, lack of interest and suspicion the detective harbours for the fairer sex, but finds it difficult to broach the subject with his closest friend and near impossible to comprehend why exactly he, himself, needs to know so badly...
Sherlock Holmes 2009, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Watson is convinced that homosexuality is a psychological disorder for which he should be treated; Holmes convinces him otherwise.

Star Trek: The Original Series, any character or pairing, Trek's history diverges from our history right around when the gay rights movement was gaining steam. Instead of progress, the Eugenics Wars and World War III pushed social change to the backburner. As a result, the gay rights movement, far from being finished, is only in its middle stages by the 2200s. What is it like to be a citizen in a galaxy where people from different planets get along famously, but your own species still is hesitant about accepting your sexuality?
Star Trek: The Original Series, Chapel/McCoy, Chapel passed as female, until that one time she was alone with McCoy in the sickbay.
Star Trek: The Original Series, James Kirk, During 'The Naked Time' Spock went after Chapel, Sulu rescued 'damsels', and Jim...didn't flirt with any women, despite that being his modus operandi when 'sober'. Why?
Star Trek: The Original Series, Janice Lester, AU, The official reason Lester bodyswitched with Kirk was because of a desire to be captain of a starship and Lester's hatred for Captain Kirk, an ex-Significant Other. Janice could tell Starfleet that both of them wanting physical body and true self to match was far more important than professional ambition...and had nothing to do with revenge.
Star Trek: TOS : Kirk/Spock, In the novelisation of The Motion Picture, Kirk states that he finds his best [sexual] gratification with women. What does this mean for his relationship with Spock?
Star Trek: The Original Series, Kirk/Spock, Because of Kirk’s celebrity as the Enterprise’s captain and Spock’s high social position on Vulcan, their upcoming wedding threatens to turn into an intergalactic event. And not everyone’s pleased with gay nuptials.
Star Trek: The Original Series, Kirk/Spock, When the Enterprise discovers a world where gay is the norm, does that give the Captain and his First Officer the nudge they need to admit their feelings for each other?
Star Trek: The Original Series, Leonard McCoy, In the human worlds of the Federation, homosexuality and bisexuality are supposed to be diagnosed and cured in adolescence. McCoy hid his orientation and went untreated. Now he wonders if there are others like him.
Star Trek: The Original Series, McCoy/Spock, Bones never so much as considered that he might be gay, but now there's Spock, and when he thinks about his life in that light things begin to make so much more sense.
Star Trek: The Original Series, Mirror!Spock, The meld with the other universe's Dr. McCoy showed Mirror!Spock a universe unlike he'd ever imagined: a universe in which he was free to explore the desires the Empire demands he never express.
Star Trek: ToS : Montgomery Scott, He'd enjoy his shore leave much better if people would just let him be, with his technical manuals and also his whisky. How many dates does he have be set up on before the fact he's not interested and never will be gets through?
Star Trek: The Original Series, Nyota Uhura as a MtF lady who has never felt the need to get SRS.
Star Trek: The Original Series, Spock, Early in Season One, McCoy practically outed Spock as gay (by saying his body chemistry prevents him from being sexually interested in a beautiful woman, when nothing we know about Vulcans would imply that it's because of his species/race). How does Spock cope with the cultural expectations of Pon Farr when he knows he's gay? Bonus points for including how McCoy knows he's gay
Star Trek: The Original Series, Spock, Humans assume that Vulcans disapprove of homosexuality. It's more complicated than that.
Star Trek: The Original Series, Spock, During a discussion about various species' attitudes toward sexualities the lecturer states that Vulcans would view homosexuality as illogical. Spock corrects this assumption with a lecture of his own on the subject of IDIC.
Star Trek: The Original Series, the difficulties a genderless species inadvertently has when talking to the Enterprise crew.
Star Trek: The Original Series, T'Pring, Vulcan culture never envisioned a situation where a woman could be mind-bonded to a man but could also be attracted to and desire to marry the sister of her male best friend. All T'Pring knows is that she, the woman she loves and her girlfriend's brother Stonn are in a situation not covered by tradition, protocol or logic, and there seems to be no way out.
Star Trek: The Original Series, T'Pring, the reason she called challenge on Spock is that *she's* gay, and *female* homosexuality is taboo on Vulcan because it removes women from the available pool for men in a species where men will die without a monogamous life partner and most men are straight. Stonn could be a transman, a pre-transition transwoman, or just a friend she's using as cover.
Star Trek: The Original Series, Yeoman Rand, She knows that everyone pretty much expects her to be the Captain's Girl, but it's the communications officer (Uhura) she's had her eye on. How does she balance the expectations of her workplace about what role she should play in her gender expression and her romantic attractions with her genuine self? What about the supposedly diversity-encouraging atmosphere of Starfleet makes her feel like she has to? Does it have anything to do with why she suddenly disappeared off the Enterprise and Captain Kirk had to go through a whole new rotation of assistants?
Star Trek: TOS or XI : any Vulcan, Everyone always expects that Vulcans are homophobic because, well, it's not logical, now is it? What they don't know is that because of pon farr, the greatest number of potential sex partners is evolutionarily very helpful, and thus all Vulcans are, by default, bisexual.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : James T. Kirk, Kirk is bisexual and proud of it. He's also a self-identified slut and proud of that, as well. What pisses him off is when people assume that one naturally follows from the other.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : James T. Kirk, Kirk speaks publicly about being both the savior of Earth and a positive role-model for queer members of the Federation everywhere.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : James T. Kirk, One of the conditions by which Kirk received command of the Enterprise was that he act as the Federation's poster boy. Theoretically homophobia is gone, but the Admiralty is still keen that Jim represent the 'best' of Humanity: that he be young, white, male, cisgendered...and straight. Now, Kirk has to choose between being true to his queer identity and his first, best destiny.
Star Trek TOS or XI, Kirk, no one cared when he slept with the female aliens.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : Kirk/Spock, After news of their relationship spreads, Kirk finds himself becoming the unofficial advisor for queer crewmembers.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : Kirk/Spock, Spock, like all Vulcans, is asexual outside of pon farr, but is in love with Kirk. Kirk is straight, but is in love with Spock. They are very happy with their situation.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : Kirk/Spock, Spock, like all Vulcans, is asexual outside of pon farr, but is in love with Kirk. Kirk is straight, but is in love with Spock. Together, they make a pretty happy non-sexual couple. But what happens when pon farr comes along, and Spock finds himself drawn towards his mate?

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

Star Trek: TOS or XI : Spock, In a meld Spock realizes something about himself that he had never known before. Shame that whoever he was melding with now knows it, too.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : Spock, On mission, he is accidentally transformed into a girl. Soon he gets the chance to change back, but he realizes that if he stays in this body he will be spared pon farr, and thus elects to stay in a female body but still identify as a man. Since trans rights have progressed a lot over the years and since he knows he's a man deep down inside it should be simple, right?
Star Trek: TOS or XI, Spock, Human/Vulcan, gay/straight, male/female: Spock has been dealing with binaries all his life.
Star Trek: TOS or XI : Spock, There is no such thing as a gay or bi Vulcan. They just don't exist, biologically. But Spock isn't fully Vulcan, and it seems he inherited more from his Human mother than he thought...
Star Trek: TOS or XI : Spock, Vulcans are a lot more liberal about gender identity than Humans. Spock conforms to Human ideas about men while on duty, but in his free time he feels free to act as genderqueer as he feels deep down.
Star Trek (TOS or XI), Spock, Everyone was comfortable in assuming that T'Spock was a girl, including T'Spock herself. And then she went into pon farr. (Intersex!Spock)
Star Trek (TOS or XI), Spock, The geneticists at the Vulcan Science Academy said it would be easier trying to create a female child instead of a male child, due to hormone differences between humans and Vulcans. T'Spock kept quiet all these years, but one of the reasons he applied to Starfleet was because transitioning is legal on Earth.
Star Wars Expanded Universe, Luke Skywalker/Cole Fardreamer, after the events of the New Rebellion Luke struck up a friendship with Cole Fardreamer and it led to more. Now he has to deal with the politics of coming out because while most of the galaxy doesn't care what two consenting sentients get up to there are still vocal minorities esp from more conservative races that might use as a poltical weapon against the Jedi.
Star Wars Pre-Saga, any Jedi, Jedi celibacy is something of a relief, but that doesn't mean he/she/ze doesn't want to have love.
Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker, Anakin sees life in binaries: good/evil, Loyalist/Separatist, male/female, straight/gay, etc. What happens when one of the binaries he takes for granted falls apart? (Anything from Padme mentioning an old girlfriend to Obi-Wan being trans to discovering that intersexuality exists.)
Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker, The Jedi understood why Ani was raised as a boy on Tatooine, but thought she didn't need to hide that way in the Temple. Anakin doesn't think he is now or was then, and he's frustrated. Isn't the Force supposed to engage a Jedi's empathy?
Star Wars, Any Jedi, Attachment is forbidden - what's the view on casual sex? Does it matter who it's with?
Star Wars, Han Solo is FtM. One of the reasons Chewbacca is his co-pilot is due to how Wookies perceive gender.
Star Wars, Han Solo/Luke Skywalker, Corellians are open about all sexualities, but those from Tatooine are not. Can Han persuade Luke to enjoy what they could have together?
Star Wars, Han Solo/Luke Skywalker, The Old Republic did not approve of homosexuality. Will the New Republic be the same?
Star Wars: Luke/Leia. In a galaxy far, far away, incest isn't the issue. Luke's romantic asexuality is.
Star Wars, Mon Mothma, mentoring Leia in politics and rebellion reminds Mon of Padme, but she can't say anything about anything. Except perhaps that non-humans, women, and humans of color aren't the only groups Emperor Palpatine is oppressing (as if that weren't enough!). Bonus if Leia has trouble fitting into the Senate closet, because on Alderaan most people have no problem with a bisexual adoptee inheriting the throne.
Star Wars EU, Thrawn/Pellaeon, Inappropriate relations with an alien could get him kicked out of the Imperial Navy, but relations with a male alien could get him executed.
Star Wars X-Wing series, Wedge Antilles/Tycho Celchu, their friendship has always been closer than Wedge and Wes' or even Wes and Hobbie's.
The Big Bang Theory, Amy Farrah Fowler, Amy thought for years that she was asexual. Now that alluring Love Goddess, Penny, is making her re-think that hypothesis.
The Big Bang Theory, Amy Farrah Fowler/Sheldon Cooper, Amy and Sheldon are perfectly satisfied with their asexual relationship - but both soon discover that asexual, in their case, does not mean aromantic. How do they deal with the sudden onslought of that thing called love, while juggling the expectations of everyone around them to be a "conventional" couple?
The Big Bang Theory, any relevant character(s), Being bullied because you're a nerd is different than being bullied because you're queer.
The Big Bang Theory, Bernadette Rostenkowski, It's a bit of a cliché realization for a good Catholic girl to come to, isn't it?
The Big Bang Theory, Bernadette Rostenkowski, She mentioned homosexuals as one of the things not to mention to her dad. She didn't tell Howard she learned that the hard way.
The Big Bang Theory, Bernadette Rostenkowski(/Howard Wolowitz), She does love him with all her heart. Just maybe not all her body.
The Big Bang Theory, Leonard/Penny/Sheldon, They three inevitably form a polygamous relationship but Sheldon remains as asexual as ever. How is he included despite of/ excluded because of his disinterest in sex from other, non sexual, parts of the relationship?
The Big Bang Theory, Missy, Missy's the only hope for her mother to have grandchildren, but she just wants to be Nathan. Sheldon's the only one who seems to understand, but not on an emotional level.
The Big Bang Theory, Missy Cooper, Missy has always been the good one, the one her mom counts on for grandchildren, because Sheldon is Sheldon and their other brother is *handwave*. But Missy's a lesbian--and she's not sure how she feels about kids, her faith, and how to explain that to her not-really-very-textbook family. (If you want to go Missy/Penny, all the better.)
The Big Bang Theory, Raj Koothrappali, He thought the US was the land of liberty, sexuality-wise.
The Big Bang Theory, Raj/Howard, Howard's beginning to think that people might be on to something with him and Raj. But does Raj feel the same way.
The Big Bang Theory, Raj/Howard and Penny, Raj deals with being a gay Indian man, coming out, and having an unlikely ally that he literally can't speak to.
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon, Sheldon hates being called Shelly, because once he was an identical twin, but he and Missy have never matched on the inside. His mother took a while to accept this, but his Meemaw always understood he was a boy. (Sheldon is FtM).
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, When Sheldon’s mother caught him trying on Missy’s dresses when he was five, she laughed and thought it was cute. When she caught him doing it again at age ten she was less amused, and Sheldon learned quickly that this was one social convention he couldn’t just ignore. He’s never really understood what the big deal was, though- why did society care so much what gender she was on the inside?
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, Sheldon’s mother has reluctantly accepted that she has to refer to her former daughter as a man to avoid unwanted questions from others, but she refuses to stop calling him ‘Shelly’ – much to Sheldon’s annoyance. He didn’t really expect that she’d ever fully understand, but he hates being reminded of that part of his past every time he talks to her.
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, Penny, Leonard, and the others keep trying to hook Sheldon up and he’s getting fed up – why can’t they accept that he’s not repressed, he’s just asexual?
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper (/Penny or gen), When an experiment goes wrong and turns Sheldon into a woman, he doesn’t really understand why everyone’s making such a big deal. Sure it’s a bit of a shock at first, but he can do his research just as well as a woman and he’s never really cared much about his physical body. But as time goes on, he realizes that he feels more comfortable in his female body than he ever did in his male one, and he is forced to confront his own sense of gender identity. (Could be Sheldon/Penny or gen, and bonus points for Penny dragging Sheldon bra shopping!)
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper/Penny, Sheldon is asexual, but he’s developing romantic feelings for Penny. She feels the same way, but she’s definitely not asexual – how do they negotiate a relationship?
The Breakfast Club, Allison, When Claire was doing her makeup, all Allison wanted to do was kiss her. But she still kind of likes Andrew. How does Allison deal with being a bisexual teen in the mid-Eighties?
The Breakfast Club, Allison Reynolds, She sits through a makeover and kisses a boy just to see what it feels like to be normal.
The Breakfast Club, Allison Reynolds/or&Claire Standish, Years later, they run into each other at an LGBT* or feminist community event (Pride, music festival, the 1989 March for Women's Lives, whatever) and retrace the very different paths they took to get there as queer women.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, any character, A character consults the Guide's entry on 'gender' and gets more than they bargained for.
The Hunger Games, anyone, How queerness is dealt with Panem.
The Hunger Games, Cinna, As a fledgling celebrity in the Capitol, Cinna must be very careful about the image he presents. That means visiting a revolutionary ex-boyfriend and persuading him not to say or do anything that might jeopardize Cinna's life.
The Hunger Games, Haymitch Abernathy, Before he was chosen for the Hunger Games, Haymitch's biggest concern was concealing his relationship with a boy from his district.
The Hunger Games, Primrose Everdeen, When Prim develops a crush on another girl from school, Katniss warns Prim to keep it quiet. But Prim has no idea why her sister is concerned - isn't this normal?

The Mentalist, Grace Van Pelt/Wayne Rigsby, Grace finally gathers the nerve to tell Wayne that she's bisexual. Wayne isn't sure what to think, and Grace has to decide how important it is to her that he understands her sexuality.
The Mentalist, Patrick Jane, Becoming a father was the best moment of his life, but what he'd always really wanted was to be a mother.
The Mentalist, Patrick Jane/Kimball Cho, Cho fears that Jane is only with him because having sex with a man doesn't count as cheating on his wife.
The Mentalist: Patrick Jane/Kimball Cho, Cho doesn't like it when Jane uses homophobic language to get a rise out of a bigoted suspect. Jane doesn't see what the problem is.
The Mentalist, Patrick Jane/Teresa Lisbon, Teresa has always thought of herself as a lesbian, so she's confused and disturbed by her attraction to Patrick Jane. When she discovers by chance that Patrick is a cross-dresser who privately identifies as trans/genderqueer/genderfluid, her attraction makes a little more sense to her, but it makes her sexual identity even harder to define. Patrick helps her see that labels matter less than she thinks they do
The Mentalist, Teresa Lisbon, Despite the rumours otherwise, Lisbon does have a life outside CBI - she just doesn't want anyone to know that she's a lesbian because in her position just being a woman is difficult enough.
The Merchant of Venice, Antonio, The Church condemns sodomites and Jews equally.
The Merchant of Venice, Bassanio/Antonio, Even after almost losing Antonio, Bassanio can't quite admit his feelings for him.

The Mighty Boosh, Howard Moon/Vince Noir, Howard finally summons the courage to make a move on Vince, but Vince, while genderqueer and happy to flirt with people of any gender, claims to be entirely straight. Hurt and disappointed, Howard reacts by accusing Vince of 'turning him gay' for no reason.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, Vince is completely comfortable with his bisexuality, but has all but given up on Howard ever reciprocating the feelings he's had for him for as long as he can remember. Howard has been in denial for most of his life, struggling with his upbringing preconceived conceptions of what it is to be a 'man of action', he fights hard to avoid coming to terms with his much stronger inclination toward men and in particular, his own best friend.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, It's surprisingly Vince who has the most trouble admitting he wants to be with a man.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, When Bob Fossil attempts to blackmail Howard by spreading a rumor around the Zooniverse that he's gay, Vince suggests an interesting way to turn the situation on its head-- play along with it. In helping Howard with his pantomime, however, Vince discovers maybe this particular rumor wasn't as false as he thought
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, Vince and Howard face increasing pressure to tie the knot once they decide they want to adopt, even though the law says they don't have to. They never felt the desire to get married before, but now Howard's seeing things in a different light-- and wonders why Vince seems hesitant.

The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, Howard decides to whole-heartedly take on his newly discovered role as a 'massive gayist' - by embracing every possible gay stereotype. Vince is hugely embarrassed and has to convince him that this is not what being gay is really all about.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, Vince turns Howard down because he doesn't think that deep down Howard really wants to settle with another man and never get married or have children. Howard convinces him otherwise.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, Howard thinks Vince is only bi because it's fashionable.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, Howard is 'the least gay person' Vince knows. But does he know Howard as well as he thinks?
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, When Vince begins to get serious with another man—going as far as even bringing him back to the flat for dinner and introducing him to everyone as his boyfriend—Howard becomes irate and increasingly distant. Vince mistakes this reaction as discomfort toward his sexuality (something they’ve always been aware of, but never discussed), while in reality Howard is simply coming to terms with his own and trying to make sense of what Vince really means to him.
The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince Vince goes to Naboo for advice on how to properly woo Howard. Problem is, he's not even sure if Howard actually likes men-- or how Howard will take the news that Vince isn't just bisexual for attention.

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince Bainbridge takes an unusual shine to Vince and brings him on as an apprentice. When Howard, sensing ulterior motives at work, tries to explain to Vince just why he's so concerned about the situation, it becomes increasingly difficult to continue denying his own nature and feelings.
The Mighty Boosh, Last man on Earth!Howard/Sunflash, Sunflash takes Howard back with him to the Planet Camden, where Howard is amazed (and slightly frightened) by the level of sexuality and lack of sexual inhibition that is the normality there. Sunflash becomes his guide both to the planet and his own sexuality.
The Mighty Boosh, Vince Noir, he started playing up the androgyny and bisexual angle because it was fashionable, but now fashion is changing, and Vince still feels bisexual and in-between genders.
The Mighty Boosh, Vince Noir & Howard Moon, Vince and Howard hardly bother to correct people any more when Vince is mistaken for Howard's girlfriend. Maybe it's the girl part Vince finds really hard to deny.
The Mighty Boosh, Vince Noir/Howard Moon, after a horrible argument where Vince asserts that Howard seems to be ashamed of everything about himself, including his sexuality, the repressed and homophobic Howard goes on a shamanistic journey to find his true, inner self. And gets lost, inevitably, leaving it up to Vince to find him.
The Mighty Boosh, Vince Noir/Howard Moon, Howard manages to repress his sexuality to the point where it actually separates from him, escapes, and starts up a relationship with Vince.
The Mighty Boosh, Vince/Howard, Why it doesn't bother Howard when people think Vince is his wife or his girlfriend.

The View from Saturday, the four main characters, It's hard enough being the unpopular smart kids, but one or more of them is also LGBT. How do they deal with this together as a group?
Torchwood, Alice, Alice was scared to tell her father that she was a lesbian.
Torchwood, Alice Carter, She wasn't sure which was more difficult to accept about her father: that he was attracted to men as well as women, or that he couldn't die.
Torchwood, any character, A character comes out and finds their ideas of who would be supportive and who wouldn't were completely wrong.
Torchwood, any character, Five lies s/he wouldn't have told if s/he'd been straight
Torchwood, any character, Meeting Jack means having at least one person who accepts them for who they are.
Torchwood, any character, Torchwood expects everyone to be at least heteroflexible. The story of an asexual Torchwood agent.
Torchwood, any character(s), Seeing all the different aliens and cultures that come through the Rift is an eye-opening experience
Torchwood, any characters, an alien asks for advice about human sexuality from an asexual character; ace character is flustered
Torchwood, Captain Jack Harkness, He'd studied history extensively while with the Time Agency, but it hadn't prepared him for his first mission to the (mid-late) 20th century and their reactions to alternate sexualities.
Torchwood, Gwen, After Gwen joins Torchwood, she sees how rigorous the background checks are, and realizes that the team must know she was born a boy. What do they think, and why hasn't anyone said anything?
Torchwood, Gwen Cooper, Gwen's never been in an environment as accepting as Torchwood. So why is telling her co-workers about her bisexuality so hard?
Torchwood, Gwen Cooper, Gwen never told anyone in Torchwood that she first met Rhys Torchwood, Gwen, She knows kissing Carys was wrong because she was drugged and Carys was possessed, but for some reason it felt right.
Torchwood, Gwen and Ianto, They probably would never have become friends if they weren't both LGBT, and that would have been a shame.
Torchwood, Gwen/Rhys, Accepting that she maybe liked kissing Carys was one thing, but finding out her fiance also went for men was a shocker.
Torchwood, Ianto Jones, Ianto doesn't like lying to his sister, but she'd never understand if he told her he was bisexual.
Torchwood, Ianto Jones, Rhys tells Ianto he doesn't mind Ianto spending so much time with Gwen, being that Ianto's gay. Ianto tries to explain that he's bi, not gay
Torchwood, Ianto Jones, During the events of Almost Perfect, Ianto is sorely tempted to keep this new female body.
Torchwood, Ianto, Finding out that Jack was (trans, gender queer, gender fluid, author’s choice) just made this whole orientation thing a new level of confusing.
Torchwood, Ianto, He grew up professing disdain for tactile comfort, refraining from even the most casual touches for fear of discomfiting anyone--especially himself. Now that he’s an adult and more at ease in his sexuality, he kind of wishes he knew how to hug his friends.
Torchwood, Ianto, He’s always been gay, but Lisa was special. I suppose this is AU but I’d love to see this done canonically.
Torchwood, Ianto Jones, Growing up, Ianto threw around words like 'homo' and 'queer' when he was angry with his friends. Being with Jack makes him evaluate things in a different light.
Torchwood, Ianto Jones, Ianto's about to tell his sister, 'it's not men, it's just Jack, but changes his mind mid-sentence. Why shouldn't he be proud of who he is and tell the truth for once? I'm bisexual.'
Torchwood, Ianto Jones, AU for CoE, Ianto had told his sister it was 'just Jack' but that wasn't really true. It's all rather more complicated than that on both their parts.
Torchwood, Ianto, Ianto’s straight, but that doesn’t mean he can’t love a man
Torchwood, Ianto, Sleeping with Jack didn’t make him question his sexuality, but these new feelings do.

Torchwood, Jack or John Hart, By the 51st century, humanity has evolved a gaydar.
Torchwood, Jack, He's from the 51st century, where everything is fluid. He's genderqueer and in the future that meant he could have a procedure to make him third-sex. Now he's stuck spending the next few thousand years in a body that's defaulted to it's original male gender. Nobody in the 21st century seems to understand that he doesn't want to be a man or a woman.
Torchwood, Jack, Jack doesn’t really identify with either gender, and finds it frustrating how difficult it is for people to understand this
Torchwood, Jack, Jack finds it difficult to explain his sexuality/gender identity to his kid(s). Maybe he shouldn’t have put it off so long?
Torchwood, Jack and any character, In the 51sy century, gender identity is a bit fuzzier then it was three thousand years earlier.

Torchwood, Jack, When he’s convinced to march in a pride parade, he gets a lot of attention for wearing a military coat
Torchwood, Jack Harkness, Jack refuses to be ashamed of who he is whatever era he's living through - but getting killed in homophobic attacks does start to get a little tiresome. If he decided to be a bit more careful in his journey through the 20th century, would it really be capitulation, or is it just avoiding hassle
Torchwood, Jack Harkness, Jack makes reference to his friend Vincent who became Vanessa in Greeks Bearing Gifts. Tell us more about Vanessa and what her transitioning meant to her relationship with Jack.
Torchwood, Jack Harkness, Jack really shouldn't be enjoying Rhys's confusion so much, but first the man was jealous (over Gwen) & then he saw Jack dancing with Ianto and now he doesn't seem to know what to think. To be fair Jack's not making it any easier for him.
Torchwood, Jack Harkness, One night Ianto discovers that Jack is not as all-male as he thought.
Torchwood, Jack Harkness, He's not sure which truth is harder to tell Alice: that he's gay(/bisexual/omnisexual) or that he doesn't stay dead.

Torchwood, Jack Harkness or Jack/Ianto, Jack was born a female. Her best shot of getting off the colony is to be a Time Agent, but they're only looking for men.
Torchwood, Jack Harkness, In a culture of either/or, Jack is really tired of explaining middle grounds, in gender, in sexuality. Finding Ianto accepts zer for who zie is is a godsend.

Torchwood, Jack Harkness, Jack talks up a storm but the truth is that he's struggled with his sexuality since he was a kid -- he grew up in a culture where omnisexuality was the norm and he got stuck in a century where being non-heterosexual was punishable by jail time, so, really, is it any surprise that he's had trouble admitting that he's just plain *gay*?
Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, Ianto is FTM, and has gone to great measures to hide his past from Jack and the team. But now, he's avoiding sex with Jack because he's worried about Jack finding out.

Torchwood, Owen Harper, Owen was never so conscious of being trans as when Carys wouldn't have sex with him.
Torchwood, Owen Harper, just because Torchwood thought he wasn't in a relationship, doesn't mean he was.

Torchwood, Owen Harper, He only sleeps with other blokes when he's drunk. It doesn't mean anything - as long as no one else knows. Dying, though, gives him lots of time to think, time that he used to spend sleeping - or sleeping with other blokes more often than women

Torchwood , Ianto Jones,"(novels, but the quote is on wikipedia if you haven't read them) Ianto explains to anyone what he means when he says bisexuals have to question everyone's motives in The Twilight Streets."
Tortall, Buriram Tourakom, Buri has long been resigned to the knowledge that her lifelong devotion to Thayet will never be consummated. It takes a young Rider to make her realize that she doesn't have to live her life in thrall to a woman who will never return her love.
Tortall, Alanna, AU in which Alanna becomes Alan for another reason than simply achieving her knighthood: he's happier as a boy.
Tortall, Daine, she can change into a male animal form as easily as a female one. After doing that a few times, not to mention riding in all kinds of minds, gender seems like a pretty fluid thing. Sometimes she even makes herself male just because she can.
Tortall, Daine/Numair, Sometimes Daine wears a man’s body, and she’s surprised by just how accepting of this Numair is.
Tortall, Kel, Finding out that Tortall is not nearly so forgiving as the Yamani islands, Kel wasn't going to admit her attraction to females. After all, she was just as attracted to males. But is lying to herself and her friends really the answer?

Tortall, Thom of Trebond, Being attracted to men in Tortall. Is there a difference between being in a Mithran monastery and the court in regards to that?
Tortall, Saralyn Samalin, Just because she chose to be a human girl to start out with doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy the male form just as much. After all, her mom doesn't have to choose one animal to be all the time, why should she have to choose one gender/sex?
Tortall, Thom of Trebond, 'She grinned. 'You should have been Alanna...''. Thom's sister has no idea how right she is.
Tortall, Trickster, the Trickster God/dess watches over Her children over a period of centuries, but there is only so much He can do to help when Her own siblings see Him as a freak, an unplanned and unwelcome antagonist against the natural order of things.

White Collar, Diana, the decision to come out at work and its repercussions
White Collar, Diana, Not everyone is as good at 'don't ask, don't care' as Peter, but Diana has taken the discrimination in stride all her life, and she's not about to stop now
White Collar, Diana, How Diana learned to stop worrying and love wearing the hat.
White Collar, Diana, on being out to Peter. (Did she decide to come out to him? Was she always out? Is the FBI really as 'don't ask, don't care' as he says?)
White Collar, Diana/Christie, deciding on a honeymoon spot when one of them wants to pick the spot where there is the least chance that any jerk will bother them for kissing in public, and the other doesn't think that they should let anti-gay sentiment have that much power that it determines their honeymoon locale.
White Collar, Elizabeth Burke, she's never been shy about being bisexual, but it was hard to explain to her mother that just because she was marrying a man, it didn't mean she was straight.
White Collar, Elizabeth Burke/Peter Burke, Elizabeth is the only person who knows that Peter is in love with Neal Caffrey. But that's quite fair because Peter is the only person who knows that his wife looks fantastic regardless of whether her body is physically male or female.
White Collar, Elizabeth/Diana, El has always been bisexual, but she's not been with a woman before. She and Peter have agreed that she's free to experiment, but it's not until she meets Diana that she has the opportunity
White Collar, Elizabeth/Peter(/Neal), Elizabeth isn't surprised at all when Peter admits he has a thing for Neal, even though Peter's never expressed an interest in guys before. Some things a wife can just tell about her husband.
White Collar, Neal Caffrey, Neal's definitely not straight, and after someone (Lauren?) makes a comment about 'Mr Heterosexual', he feels compelled to tell everyone. But coming out is difficult when no one seems to care
White Collar, Neal Caffrey, Diana takes Neal out to some GLBT places to get his mind off Kate and Peter.
White Collar, Neal Caffrey, Neal has loved two people in his life--Kate and Peter--but sexual attraction isn't the biggest draw for him. (Neal as bi-romantic demi-sexual.)

White Collar, Neal Caffrey, Diana invited Neal to lunch. They bond over their neurotic life partners. Neal has to deal with two.
White Collar, Neal, Peter, Peter discovers that "Neal Caffrey" is an alias and demands to know Neal's real name. Neal tries to explain why "Neal" is more of a real name than his female-gendered birth name.
White Collar, Neal Caffrey/Peter Burke, Neal has always identified as straight until now. It's not that he was in denial about his sexuality because he was afraid - he considered himself a straight guy who was flexible and enlightened, so he was open about the few times he'd had sex with men -- when he and another thief were stowing away in a shipping crate in close quarters for weeks, when he was young and just felt like experimenting to see what it felt like. These experiences were pleasant enough but they mostly confirmed his sexual identity since there really wasn't any comparison to what he felt with women. It's not until he has sex with a man he's deeply emotionally attached to that he really starts to discover his bisexuality. He really wants to explore what this means, not just in terms of his identity, but also how it opens up new desires. Tldr: Emotional intimacy leads to sexual awakening and changes how Neal thinks of his sexual identity.
White Collar, Neal/Peter/Elizabeth, When Elizabeth invites Neal to bed, he's definitely interested. The catch: Elizabeth and Peter are a package deal. Neal finds himself equally attracted to Peter, and struggles to accept that his experimenting in college wasn't just a phase.
White Collar, Peter Burke(/Elizabeth Burke /Neal Caffrey), Peter figured out he was bi early on in his college career, but was vehemently against the assumption that being bi makes you 'slutty' or unable to commit. Once he met Elizabeth, there was no question about monogamy. But now that Neal Caffrey is a big part of his life, he's having feelings that he doesn't know what to do with.
White Collar, Peter Burke/Elizabeth Burke/Neal Caffrey, for Neal, one of the few bad parts of being involved with Peter and El is that he feels like he's confirming all the stereotypes he hates about what it means to be bisexual.

wow... didn't see this reply ( It never showed up in the inbox. I think that the forcibly here applied to the chap in the yellow velvet suit trying (at least to Bertie's mind) to coerce Bertie into a liaison because he thinks the flambouyant clothing is an invitation...but it is a bit late now. Sorry about that.

Awesome Psych prompts :)

[sin-tah.livejournal.com]

I love the Psych prompts. Especially this one -'Psych, Shawn or Gus, coming out wouldn't be so irritating if people didn't immediately assume you were in love with your straight best friend of the same sex.' and this one, 'Psych, Gus, Shawn never understood why Gus wasn't comfortable with his sexuality when Shawn was at age eight.'
