** Somewhat of a subversion, considering [[AffablyEvil he's actually]] [[SatanIsGood pretty nice]], [[AHellOfATime and only actively tortures those that deserve it.]]

* Boris Lermontov in the 1948 film ''Film/TheRedShoes'' is strongly implied to be {{Satan}} in human form. As with nearly the [[CastFullOfGay entire cast]] of the movie, he's also implied to be gay.

* Boris Lermontov in the 1948 film ''The Red Shoes'' is strongly implied to be {{Satan}} in human form. As with nearly the entire cast of the movie, he's also implied to be gay.

!!Examples:

* Him in ''ThePowerpuffGirls''. One of the rare ([[DependingOnTheWriter mostly]]) serious versions.
* The Red Guy in ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''.
* The Robot Devil in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' tortures Bender with musical theater when they first meet and is typified by his flamboyant mannerisms.
* When K. Gordon Murray's ''Film/SantaClaus'' turned up on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', Crow characterized the demon Pitch this way. "I'm, like, poth-itively ''evil''!"
* Although not precisely a work of fiction, [[http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/909519.html?thread=106934479#t106934479 this anecdote]] is one of the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome most amazing]] examples of the trope, featuring Bill Cosby and Samuel Jackson.
* Satan is presented in this way in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', notably in the movie version where his gay relationship with Saddam Hussein is a major sub-plot.

* Hades from Disney's ''Hercules'' is a variation on the trope, especially since he's portrayed as analogous to {{Satan}}. The Nostalgia Chick called him "Meg's bitchy gay boyfriend" in her review of the movie.

* While not CampGay per se, on ''{{Reaper}}'', Satan is a DepravedBisexual. He actually used to be in love with God.
* BoBurnham's ''Sunday School'' has the lyric "Did you know Satan wears a cape made out of a rainbow flag?"

* On the short-lived animated series ''GodTheDevilAndBob'', the Devil, voiced as an EvilBrit by Creator/AlanCumming, isn't ''extremely'' camp, but he's certainly dapper and way more uptight than God, who's voiced by James Garner and is more of a laidback Jerry Garcia type.
* Inverted by ''GoodOmens''; while Crowley is described as being conscious of his appearance and makes some [[HoYay interesting remarks]], it's Aziraphale, the angel, who comes off as "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide".
* The Chaos god of lust [[{{Warhammer 40000}} Slaanesh]] and its followers, whether daemon or human, are generally rather... flamboyant.

The origins of this trope are OlderThanSteam. Epicene depictions of Satan date back to the Middle Ages, in which folklore often described the Devil and his minions as having [[AmbiguousGender Ambiguous Genders]] and tempting men sexually. The homosexual implications in Creator/ChristopherMarlowe's ''Doctor Faustus'' and overtly gay Mephistopheles in Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe's ''{{Faust}}'' eventually codified the image of a gleefully evil and flamboyantly effeminate devil.

* Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe's interpretation of ''{{Faust}}'' includes an openly gay Mephistopheles, possibly the TropeCodifier.

* TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword: Though actually the resident {{Satan}} {{Expy}}'s [[TheDragon servant]], [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Demon Lord Ghirahim]] pushes AmbiguouslyGay to the breaking point. The [[PeekABangs hair]], the [[{{Stripperiffic}} outfit]], the {{Guyliner}} and [[UncannyValleyMakeup white lipstick]], the [[OverlyLongTongue tongue-action]], the [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace uncomfortable]] [[NoIAmBehindYou body language]], certain lines like "[that] filled my heart with rainbows", claiming that he and Link are tied by the RedStringOfFate... ''Hoo boy''...

* Him in ''ThePowerpuffGirls''. One of the rare ([[DependingOnTheWriter mostly]]) serious versions, since Him is almost ''[[NightmareFuel never]]'' [[NightmareFuel funny]].

* TheNineLivesOfFritzTheCat had Fritz end up in hell. Upon encountering the devil, who seems like a cross between Big Gay Al and Vincent Price, he lets out, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkJDIWLMWwc Oh, Jesus Christ, Lucifer is a faggot!]]"
