* ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' very much follows AnyoneCanDie, with 40% of the characters in the FAYZ dying at the end and the amount of major characters that die not being very different from that, but all os the LGBT characters survive.

* In ''Series/TheBoys'', [[spoiler:bisexual WonderWomanWannabe Queen Maeve is shown to have survived a NoOneCouldSurviveThat-level explosion and 50-story drop (after being {{depower}}ed no less) after two back-to-back fights with enemies leagues stronger than her, and is PutOnABus with her [[StrangledByTheRedString spontaneously-reappearing girlfriend]] ([[PlotHole invalidating half the reason]] for her RoaringRampageOfRevenge), with WordOfGod stating that they were explicitly going out of their way to avoid BuryYourGays]].

* ''Series/DeadOfSummer'': Six of nine main characters get killed by the end of the season. [[spoiler:Besides surprise heroine Jessie, gay boy Blair and bisexual trans boy Drew are the only main characters still alive by the end. They also appear to be happily in a relationship by the end of the series]].

* ''Film/TheyThem2022'': All the teens are LGBT+ and none of them are targeted by the killer. The queer members of ''the staff'' however... This makes sense then as it turns out that the killer is LGBT+ too, a member of the staff who's targeting the others for their abuses.

* ''Webcomic/ItWasAllYou'': Noel manages to fake-die several times throughout the story on top of even more life-threatening circumstances. When he's first revealed to be gay, he and his lover Minho are stated to have been executed offscreen, but they arrive shortly after to bail out Victor. Shortly after ''that'', Minho dies shoving Noel out of an exploding car, and Noel is presumably gunned down by armed forces. Noel turns out to be alive, albeit without his legs. Minho, as a love clone, is rebuilt. They survive to the end.

%%* The ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' series, where straight couples kick the bucket with astonishing regularity while gay characters fulfill their romantic relationships. -- '''Administrivia/ZeroContextExample''' -- '''Which gay characters?'''

* In ''Film/AllCheerleadersDie'', the only cheerleader to survive the end of the movie in lesbian Maddy who is resurrected multiple times.

* ''Film/FearStreet'': Deena and Sam both not only survive to the end of the trilogy to get their happy ending, when many of the other (straight) main characters do not, but also prove themselves remarkably resistant to being (permanently) killed. Sam survives a car crash, being hunted by undead killers, being intentionally drowned and then resuscitated, and then spending the majority of the second two movies [[DemonicPossession possessed by the Devil]]. Deena, on the other hand, survives being hunted by undead killers, a satanic sheriff, and her possessed girlfriend, as well as being [[AgonizingStomachWound stabbed in the stomach]] ''twice''[[note]]the second time she got smart and was wearing makeshift armor made of books duct taped to her torso[[/note]].

* Armistead Maupin chose to halt the ''Literature/TalesOfTheCity'' series in the 1980s because he had given openly-gay Michael Tolliver HIV and could not see any scenario at the time in which Michael would survive.

Consequently, the first book was titled ''Michael Tolliver Lives''.

* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': The lesbians are the only members of the Aldhani rebels who survive, although Cinta's exact fate is up in the air at first considering she's left behind on Aldhani. It's later confirmed she survived, and meets up with Vel on Ferrix, where the latter is searching for Cassian. Ultimately both also survive the massive riot there in the season 1 finale.

** At the end of the series, Captain Flint discovers that [[spoiler: his supposedly dead lover Thomas Hamilton didn't commit suicide, but instead ended up transported to Georgia, and the two are joyfully reunited.]]
