Characterization, narrative and sexuality tropes commonly applied to queer characters (e.g. homosexuals, bisexuals, transgender people etc).

While in the real world, [[UsefulNotes/{{LGBT}} LGBTQ+]] persons are just as varied in personality and traits as straight/cisgender ones, it has suited television writers to use common stereotypes for their gay characters in lieu of actually making them "real people". In general, gay TV characters have become more realistic since the 1990s. But the stereotypes still remain the favorite tool of [[WritingPitfallIndex the hack writer]]--or the comedy auteur looking to parody or [[BlackComedy shock]]. Even some LGBTQ+ people perpetuate the stereotypes by criticizing those who fall outside of them as [[NoTrueScotsman "not really gay"]] or words to that effect.
