History HoYay / TheSimpsons

* Laura, the new neighbor referring to Dolph and Kearney as boyfriends (and having the two of them NOT explicitly deny it), which seems to spring perfectly from their behavior in their first appearance while they were [[KidsAreCruel taunting Bart about his fixation with Jebediah Springfield]].
* In several of Milhouse's appearances there are a few of these, including one time when he seemed happy to have Homer kiss him ({{Squick}}).

* Also, in a recent episode, you have Lisa becoming best friends (''extremely'' quickly, I might add- their first play-date turns into a sleepover) with a nerdy girl with a British accent who likes roleplaying. Named Juliet. (She inevitably turns out to be completely nuts, but, hey.) And in their fantasy world, they're the two queens who rule over the land of Equalia. And Marge, fearing that their friendship is having a bad effect on Lisa, attempts to separate them. And then they run away together...

* You can't mention HoYay in ''TheSimpsons'' without mentioning the episode where Homer meets Carl (no, not that one!). Carl helps him work to the top, writes his speeches for him, then tells Homer he isn't a fool. Why not? Because his mother told him never to kiss a fool-- which he does then. Homer also accidentally blurts out "I love you Carl- I mean, Marge" when a singing telegram guy shows up at their door.

* Homer going into fanboy mode over Rainier Wolfcastle. "Oh I love your movies and your powersauce bars and your taught....rippling..." Rainier interrupts him before he can finish.

* Laura, the new neighbor referring to Dolph and Kearney as boyfriends (and having the two of them NOT explicitly deny it), which seems to spring perfectly from their behavior in their first appearance while they were [[KidsAreCruel taunting Bart about his fixation with Jebediah Springfield]]; in several of Milhouse's appearances there are a few of these, including one time when he seemed happy to have Homer kiss him ({{Squick}}); and at one point music teacher Dewey Largo was caught in a car with Smithers (the show's most obviously gay regular), denying wholeheartedly that they were doing anything other than carpooling. Other examples are so numerous it would take up too much room to write them all.
* How can you mention ''Simpsons'' HoYay without mentioning Lenny and Carl?
** It's also been [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]].

** Better yet, the thing their "biting from each end" is a cake shaped like a penis that crashed into Skinner's house while Chalmers was over for dinner.

--> Jesse: This was her choice Mr. Simpson.

** In a similar vein, in the episode "Donnie Fatso", Homer teams up with the FBI to infiltrate the mob, and becomes incredibly close to Fat Tony. True, the constant touching, hugging, and kisses on the cheek could be HandWaved by Tony being an Italian gentleman, but when [[spoiler: Tony dies of a heart attack during a sting, Homer mourns like his just lost the love of his life.]] It's rather sweet, and a tad suspect. Tony even lampshades their close bond: "[[HeterosexualLifePartners To heterosexual male friendship -]] [[BoysLove the kind the Greeks wrote about.]]"

** They even lampshade it now. In the episode "Postcards from the Wedge", Bart has to get a rectal thermometer check-up from Marge in his bedroom, and Lisa replies "Just close your eyes and think of Milhouse."

----> '''Carl:''' See, comments like those is why people think we're gay.

* Homer going into fanboy mode over Rainier Wolfcastle. "Oh I love your movies and your powersauce bars and your taught....rippling..." Rainier interrupts him before he can finish.

--> Nelson: Haw! Haw! I touched your heart!

* On one occasion Homer commented on how attractive another man was and he has been kissed by another man on two separate occasions, and while clearly surprised didn't react negatively either.

** And when thinking of things to wind up Homer Bart informs him he "felt a little attracted to Milhouse today"

* Smithers. That is all.

** Homer has also kissed and hugged Ned, flimed him naked in the shower, and Ned puts up with every JerkAss thing Homer does.

* Am I the only one who saw some Les-Yayish undertones between Marge and Belle (the Burlesque house owner) in ''Bart After Dark''?

* Am I the only one who saw some Les-Yayish undertones between Marge and Belle (the Burlesque house owner) in ''Bart of Darkness''?

* There's probably some subtext between Marge and Ruth Powers in "Marge on the Lam", even though both of them aren't 'really' lesbians since Marge is already married to Homer and Ruth is already divorced and willing to look for another man.

*** It's also been [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]].

** For some other common ones, Homer has the occasional mancrush, including many men that have an interest in Marge.
** Nelson also seems to have some issues, and in the episode, "Little Orphan Millie", where Milhouse's parents go missing, Nelson, as well as Bart are a part of the crowd in the school that fawn over Emo Milhouse.
*** Don't forget Bart and Milhouse in general. Bart even gives him ''roses'' in one episode!
*** They even lampshade it now. In the episode "Postcards from the Wedge", Bart has to get a rectal thermometer check-up from Marge in his bedroom, and Lisa replies "Just close your eyes and think of Milhouse."

*** This is based on the plot of ''HeavenlyCreatures,'' which was in turn based on a true story. The girls WERE budding baby lesbians in that incident. [[spoiler: And then they killed some people.]]
** Smithers. That is all.
** StupidSexyFlanders.
** Skinner and Chalmers have had quite a bit of this in recent years. "We'll have to bite from each end! We'll know we're safe when our lips meet in the middle".
** In a recent episode, Homer and Chief Wiggum develop a friendship that verges on this at times.
** Marge and Lindsey Naegle make out during Homer's daydream in "How the Test Was Won".
** There's probably some subtext between Marge and Ruth Powers in "Marge on the Lam", even though both of them aren't 'really' lesbians since Marge is already married to Homer and Ruth is already divorced and willing to look for another man.
