* Nyarlathotep, the SatanicArchetype in Creator/HPLovecraft's ''Literature/TheDreamQuestOfUnknownKadath'', manifests to Randolph Carter as a beautiful androgynous "young Pharaoh" in a sparkly, rainbow-colored robe. In episode 53 of the H. P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast, the hosts described the "flamboyant" Nyarlathotep's throne room as similar to "a Dead or Alive concert."

* On a Halloween episode of ''Series/{{Community}}'', the study group tells scary stories which we see played out in {{Fantasy Sequence}}s with members of the study group representing the characters. One story features Satan, who was represented by the Dean (who is pansexual, but ''extremely'' camp and prone to crossdressing).

* "[[Music/{{U2}} Mr. MacPhisto]]". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTsVfZeHL4s Just look at him.]]

* Though actually the resident {{Satan}} {{Expy}}'s [[TheDragon servant]], [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Demon Lord]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword 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''...

* 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.

* On the short-lived animated series ''WesternAnimation/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.

* Boris Lermontov in the 1948 film ''[[Film/TheRedShoes1948 The Red Shoes]]'' 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.

** In the episode "Season 7, time for a wedding!", the main antagonist was the demon Guy, a sharp dresser with an affected lilt who is not shy about finding Sam and Dean attractive or about his own vanity.
--> Guy: I wasn't thrilled to see your new hubby was Sam freakin' Winchester. I mean, if he knew that I was here talking to you, he'd probably...
--> Becky: Gank your ass.
--> Guy: Yes. And I'm very protective of my ass. It's one of my best features.

* On a Halloween episode of ''Series/{{Community}}'', the study group tells scary stories where the characters are represented by themselves. One story features Satan, who was represented by the Dean (who is pansexual, but ''extremely'' camp and prone to crossdressing).

* Emperor Doviculus from ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' isn't exactly camp per se, but he has a [[BondageIsBad s&m aesthetic]] (as does [[OurDemonsAreDifferent his entire faction]]) and a ''lot'' of HardGay / DepravedBisexual overtones.

* 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.
** Somewhat of a subversion, considering [[AffablyEvil he's actually]] [[SatanIsGood pretty nice]], [[AHellOfATime and only actively tortures those that deserve it.]] Plus being gay [[StraightGay is treated as a character trait, instead of a stereotype.]]

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has Crowley, a ManOfWealthAndTaste and the current King of Hell. He started out as a crossroads demon, the kind that [[DealWithTheDevil humans make deals with]], and these deals are made official with [[AMagicContractComesWithAKiss a kiss on the lips]], so being a DepravedBisexual is pretty much a job requirement.

* Nyarlathotep, the SatanicArchetype in [[Creator/HPLovecraft H. P. Lovecraft's]] ''The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath'', manifests to Randolph Carter as a beautiful androgynous "young Pharaoh" in a sparkly, rainbow-colored robe. In episode 53 of the H. P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast, the hosts described the "flamboyant" Nyarlathotep's throne room as similar to "a Dead or Alive concert."

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has Crowley. He quite often and graphically kisses men and worries about his appearance, and he is the King of Hell. He even takes a picture of himself and Bobby making a deal (kissing) and asks Bobby why he had to use tongue when all they had to do was kiss. VERY amusing FlamingDevil, that Crowley.

* Jareth the Goblin King from ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', played by Music/{{DavidBowie}} in all his fabulousness, was explicitly designed as a GlamRock version of {{Satan}}.

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

* Emperor Doviculus from ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' isn't exactly camp per se, but he has a [[BondageIsBad s&m aesthetic]] (as does [[OurDemonsAreDifferent his entire faction]]) and a ''lot'' of HardGay/DepravedBisexual overtones.

* Emperor Doviculus from 'VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' isn't exactly camp, but he has a [[BondageIsBad bondage aesthetic]] (as does [[OurDemonsAreDifferent his entire faction]]) and a ''lot'' of HardGay/DepravedBisexual overtones.

* Emperor Doviculus from ''{{Brütal Legend}}'' isn't exactly camp, but he has a [[BondageIsBad bondage aesthetic]] a ''lot'' of HardGay/DepravedBisexual overtones.

* When Journalfen was functional, one of the members of Fandom_Wank posted an anecdote about a dream in which Bill Cosby and Samuel Jackson starred in a movie that involved Satan tempting Jesus Christ sexually.

* Him in ''ThePowerpuffGirls''. One of the rare ([[DependingOnTheWriter mostly]]) serious versions.

* When JournalFen was functional, one of the members of Fandom_Wank posted an anecdote about a dream in which Bill Cosby and Samuel Jackson starred in a movie that involved Satan tempting Jesus Christ sexually.

* 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.

* BoBurnham's ''Sunday School'' has the lyric "Did you know Satan wears a cape made out of a rainbow flag?"
* Satan as depicted in the StephenLynch song ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swGBlDn_yiI Beelz]]''.

* 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 ''Theatre/DoctorFaustus'' and overtly gay Mephistopheles in Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe's ''Theatre/{{Faust}}'' eventually codified the image of a gleefully evil and flamboyantly effeminate devil.

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

* 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''!"

* Supernatural has Crowley. He quite often and graphically kisses men and worries about his appearance, and he is the King of Hell. He even takes a picture of himself and Bobby making a deal (kissing) and asks Bobby why he had to use tongue when all they had to do was kiss. VERY amusing FlamingDevil, that Crowley.

* Daiou-sama from {{Dororon Enma-kun}} might count.
