"Ah, bioterrorism, the third great lesbian pasttime right after softball and having messy breakups."

"Where the Indendant used to be a marbled and fascinating character, now she is a thoughtless parody of the same character with none of the edge that made her so riveting to watch in the first place. She is no longer an unpredictable character who can show mercy on a whim and get her claws out in an instant... nope, she walks on-screen and points out that she is a lesbian, and then murders Brunt simply because that is the sort of thing this character does. It's so appallingly handled, I'm surprised the actors didn't object."

— Joe Ford on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "The Emperor's New Cloak"

"The Psycho Lesbian is evil, scary, mentally unbalanced, and above all, predatory. Maybe her evil acts are driven by her lust for another female character, or maybe she makes unwanted advances on her. In more overtly ridiculous examples, she may have been straight and sane at one point, before some traumatic event turned her gay, and evil. And, of course, crazy. Her moments of expressing attraction towards other women are treated as creepy and lecherous. (This can be especially infuriating when male characters made similar comments elsewhere in the story but didn't get treated as predators for it.) More often than not, she'll be extremely violent, especially when compared to the "good" women in the story.
Oh, yeah, and she's usually dead by the time the story is done."

"Children, there's a big difference between gay people, and Mr. Garrison! Do you understand that?"

— Chef, South Park

Evelyn: It's you. You're the reason my daughter doesn't call anymore, why she dropped out of college and gets tattoos.
Jobu Tupaki: [mockingly pouts] Aww!
Evelyn: You... are why she thinks she is gay.
[all the music stops]
Jobu Tupaki: Ah! I'm so sorry. [completely exasperated] You're still hung up on the fact that I like girls in this world?
