3327. The Big Bang Theory, Howard Wolowitz, Howard’s never told anyone (he can barely admit it to himself), but Leonard’s mother was right - all that chasing after girls really was overcompensation because he’s terrified to admit that he could be gay (and possibly in love with Raj, if you want).
3328. The Big Bang Theory, Leonard/Penny/Sheldon, They three inevitably form a polygamous relationship but Sheldon remains as asexual as ever. How is he included despite of/ excluded because of his disinterest in sex from other, non sexual, parts of the relationship?

3332. The Big Bang Theory, Missy Cooper, Missy has always been the good one, the one her mom counts on for grandchildren, because Sheldon is Sheldon and their other brother is *handwave*. But Missy's a lesbian--and she's not sure how she feels about kids, her faith, and how to explain that to her not-really-very-textbook family. (If you want to go Missy/Penny, all the better.)

3337. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, When Sheldon’s mother caught him trying on Missy’s dresses when he was five, she laughed and thought it was cute. When she caught him doing it again at age ten she was less amused, and Sheldon learned quickly that this was one social convention he couldn’t just ignore. He’s never really understood what the big deal was, though- why did society care so much what gender she was on the inside?
3338. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, Sheldon’s mother has reluctantly accepted that she has to refer to her former daughter as a man to avoid unwanted questions from others, but she refuses to stop calling him ‘Shelly’ - much to Sheldon’s annoyance. He didn’t really expect that she’d ever fully understand, but he hates being reminded of that part of his past every time he talks to her.
3339. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, Penny, Leonard, and the others keep trying to hook Sheldon up and he’s getting fed up - why can’t they accept that he’s not repressed, he’s just asexual? claimed by taurenova
3340. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, he has always been disinterested in things most people found vital and important so his lack of interest in romance and sex just seemed to be on par. What happens when he finds out he isn't the only one outside of his mother like it. Aromantic asexual Sheldon.
3341. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper (/Penny or gen), When an experiment goes wrong and turns Sheldon into a woman, he doesn’t really understand why everyone’s making such a big deal. Sure it’s a bit of a shock at first, but he can do his research just as well as a woman and he’s never really cared much about his physical body. But as time goes on, he realizes that he feels more comfortable in his female body than he ever did in his male one, and he is forced to confront his own sense of gender identity. (Could be Sheldon/Penny or gen, and bonus points for Penny dragging Sheldon bra shopping!)
3342. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper/Penny, Growing up in an ultra-conservative Christian family and then throwing himself fully into his work meant that Sheldon has always repressed and ignored his feelings that being male didn’t quite fit. But now he’s falling in love with Penny and he realizes that part of his lack of interest in sex is due to his discomfort in his own body. He wants to be with her, but as a woman.
3343. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper/Penny, Sheldon is asexual, but he’s developing romantic feelings for Penny. She feels the same way, but she’s definitely not asexual - how do they negotiate a relationship?
3344. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon/Missy Cooper, Sheldon cannot understand Missy's constant in and out of boys at the house. She teases him about bringing girls home, but he's just not interested. When she tells him it's okay to bring boys home too, and she'll stand with him against their mother, he tells her it's not boys either. Now it's her turn to not understand. But Sheldon knows she's never understood him.

3354. The Bill, Smithy/Callum, it’s just about sex, it’s not a relationship, so Smithy doesn’t feel bad about keeping it from everyone, but then someone from the station sees them, and it’s too late. What next?
3355. The Boondocks, Riley Freeman, To Huey's great surprise, Riley turns out to actually be gay after all.

3372. The Dresden Files, Molly Carpenter, she knew that coming out wouldn't be easy, but this wasn't just more adolescent rebellion - dealing with homophobia in her Christian home/community
3373. The Dresden Files (bookverse), Anastasia Luccio, Not long ago, Luccio was under magical mental control that enslaved her will and effectively turned her into a straight assassin. Now the mental control's been broken and she's free to be the sexy and intense young lesbian she is...except that the last time she was physically twentysomething, it was the late 1800s in Europe and she was wearing a completely different body.
3374. The Dresden Files (bookverse), Ivy (the Archive), The role of the Archive, from time immemorial, has been passed down from mother to daughter. However, there are three huge obstacles preventing the current Archive from passing the task on to her daughter: teenaged Ivy is attracted to girls, not boys; she doesn't want to have children; and she has a physical condition that makes it almost impossible for her to carry a child to term.
3375. The Dresden Files (bookverse), Vince Graver, Vince is a Chicago P.I. with no magic, information on some of the more dangerous magical factions in the city, and a snoutful of integrity. Molly Carpenter, Harry Dresden's apprentice, thinks that Vince will tell her anything if she just takes off her bra and shakes her breasts at him. Vince doesn't mind going out to eat with Molly; a free meal's a free meal, and she's nothing if not informative. He'd just rather be dating Harry. (Yep, he's a canon character.

3382. The Five Fists of Science, Nikola Tesla, It's not that Tesla doesn't love people. He's got all sorts of romantic attachments, in his way. It's just that sexual contact is unnecessarily messy and takes away from time he could be spending on science. claimed by erraticvariable

3327. The Big Bang Theory, Howard Wolowitz, Howard’s never told anyone (he can barely admit it to himself), but Leonard’s mother was right - all that chasing after girls really was overcompensation because he’s terrified to admit that he could be gay (and possibly in love with Raj, if you want).
3328. The Big Bang Theory, Leonard/Penny/Sheldon, They three inevitably form a polygamous relationship but Sheldon remains as asexual as ever. How is he included despite of/ excluded because of his disinterest in sex from other, non sexual, parts of the relationship?

3337. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, When Sheldon’s mother caught him trying on Missy’s dresses when he was five, she laughed and thought it was cute. When she caught him doing it again at age ten she was less amused, and Sheldon learned quickly that this was one social convention he couldn’t just ignore. He’s never really understood what the big deal was, though- why did society care so much what gender she was on the inside?
3338. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper, Sheldon’s mother has reluctantly accepted that she has to refer to her former daughter as a man to avoid unwanted questions from others, but she refuses to stop calling him ‘Shelly’ - much to Sheldon’s annoyance.

What happens when he finds out he isn't the only one outside of his mother like it. Aromantic asexual Sheldon.
3341. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper (/Penny or gen), When an experiment goes wrong and turns Sheldon into a woman, he doesn’t really understand why everyone’s making such a big deal. Sure it’s a bit of a shock at first, but he can do his research just as well as a woman and he’s never really cared much about his physical body. But as time goes on, he realizes that he feels more comfortable in his female body than he ever did in his male one, and he is forced to confront his own sense of gender identity. (Could be Sheldon/Penny or gen, and bonus points for Penny dragging Sheldon bra shopping!)
3342. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper/Penny, Growing up in an ultra-conservative Christian family and then throwing himself fully into his work meant that Sheldon has always repressed and ignored his feelings that being male didn’t quite fit. But now he’s falling in love with Penny and he realizes that part of his lack of interest in sex is due to his discomfort in his own body. He wants to be with her, but as a woman.
3343. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper/Penny, Sheldon is asexual, but he’s developing romantic feelings for Penny. She feels the same way, but she’s definitely not asexual - how do they negotiate a relationship?
3344. The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon/Missy Cooper, Sheldon cannot understand Missy's constant in and out of boys at the house. She teases him about bringing girls home, but he's just not interested. When she tells him it's okay to bring boys home too, and she'll stand with him against their mother, he tells her it's not boys either. Now it's her turn to not understand. But Sheldon knows she's never understood him.

3352. The Bill, Nick/Smithy, when Nick looses it over Cass Smithy is very supportive.

3354. The Bill, Smithy/Callum, it’s just about sex, it’s not a relationship, so Smithy doesn’t feel bad about keeping it from everyone, but then someone from the station sees them, and it’s too late. What next?
3355. The Boondocks, Riley Freeman, To Huey's great surprise, Riley turns out to actually be gay after all.

3374. The Dresden Files (bookverse), Ivy (the Archive), The role of the Archive, from time immemorial, has been passed down from mother to daughter.

3375. The Dresden Files (bookverse), Vince Graver, Vince is a Chicago P.I. with no magic, information on some of the more dangerous magical factions in the city, and a snoutful of integrity.

3382. The Five Fists of Science, Nikola Tesla, It's not that Tesla doesn't love people. He's got all sorts of romantic attachments, in his way. It's just that sexual contact is unnecessarily messy and takes away from time he could be spending on science. claimed by erraticvariable

(Ideally emphasis on Kalinda's prejudices and struggles).
3387. The Good Wife, Cary and Kalinda, Kalinda thinks that queer solidarity in the workplace is mostly bullshit and sharing an attraction to your own gender doesn't automatically make you friends. But every once in a while its still nice to have someone who kind of gets it. Cary is bisexual and Kalinda is gay.
3388. The Good Wife, Kalinda, being queer let her accept the rest of who she is. So many people are fighting to prove they're just like everyone else, but she's never wanted to be. Being an outsider meant she could dress, act, fuck how she wanted to. It took the pressure off, reduced the expectation that she defer to what society wants for her. And if there is a price she had to pay for that, it was well worth it.
3389. The Good Wife, Kalinda, someone tries to blackmail Kalinda with her sexuality.

The little prince subjects the homophobe to his characteristic relentless questioning and peculiar brand of reasoning, thereby making the homophobe look ridiculous. The little prince eventually mentions that he is LGBT (inasmuch as a child can be), which the homophobe finds shocking/scandalous/outrageous/evil/what-have-you, in response to which the little prince is baffled/nonplussed/perhaps amused. Or else he breaks out in one of his impassioned speeches about love (cf. 'If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars...') and the homophobe feels all guilty for making a sweet (albeit strange) little child cry. claimed by thecolourclear and hopefulnebula

When she discovers by chance that Patrick is a cross-dresser who privately identifies as trans/genderqueer/genderfluid, her attraction makes a little more sense to her, but it makes her sexual identity even harder to define. Patrick helps her see that labels matter less than she thinks they do
3426. The Mentalist, Teresa Lisbon, Despite the rumours otherwise, Lisbon does have a life outside CBI - she just doesn't want anyone to know that she's a lesbian because in her position just being a woman is difficult enough.

3442. The Mighty Boosh, Howard/Vince, When Vince begins to get serious with another man-going as far as even bringing him back to the flat for dinner and introducing him to everyone as his boyfriend-Howard becomes irate and increasingly distant.
