176. Charmed: Chris Halliwell/Bianca Phoenix/male. [Fixed future.] For being destined witches, his family really had a thing about tradition.

Earthbound: any character - As the world comes in contact with more and more nonhuman sapients, from Mr. Saturns to Tenda to the stranded remains of Giygas's forces, it becomes clearer and clearer that the traditional human heteronormative models of sexuality and gender are the exception, not the rule. What lessons does human society (and/or specific humans) draw from the example of their cosmic neighbors?

142. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Andrew Wells/Xander Harris. Coming out to the other scoobies is the hardest thing they've ever done.

143. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy Summers/Faith. Now that Buffy's finally ready to start a relationship with Faith, she's run into a problem that she never expected: it turns out, Faith really was just playing around; she's not into women at all.

147. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Dawn Summers. Dawn's read all Willow's books and seen all Tara's movies, so she's sure she knows everything about being a lesbian. But when she falls in love with a woman, she learns that kissing by the book just won't cut it.

160. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Rupert Giles. Giles has never been out at work, and he really doesn't think his bisexuality is something his Slayer needs to know about, so dating Jenny Calendar presents an interesting moral quandary. It would be so easy not to tell her.
161. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Rupert Giles/Daniel "Oz" Osbourne. Oz calls himself a fag and enjoys drag shows. Giles is appalled -- Oz seems to relish stereotypes that Giles tries to fight.
162. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Rupert Giles/Xander Harris. Xander's been in denial for a very long time: being attracted to girls meant it was easy to not pay any attention to that part of himself. But he's older now, and there's Giles, and it's all so very confusing. claimed by mireille719

176. Charmed: Chris Halliwell/Bianca Phoenix/male. [Fixed future.] For being destined witches, his family really had a thing about tradition. Which made it all that much harder to come to terms with being attracted to senior Bianca Phoenix and her college-aged boyfriend at the same time. Especially when his brother, like usual, had mastered the art of being clueless.
177. Chaucer, Troilus and Criseyde: Troilus/Pandarus. I have, and shal, for trewe or fals report, / In wrong and right iloved the al my lyve. (I.593-4) Pandarus will do anything to make Troilus happy - even if it means forsaking any hope of happiness for himself.

179. Clerks: Randal Graves/Dante Hicks. Randal comes out.
180. Clueless: Cher Horowiz and Tai. "Getting buzzed and kissing girls at parties is one thing, but being an actual dyke is *quite* another. Do you understand the distinction?"
181. Constantine (Movieverse): John Constantine/Chas Kramer. They get enough funny looks without anyone knowing what's really going on - good thing John isn't much for public displays of affection. Or any displays of affection, really.

185A. Criminal Minds: Jason Gideon. Gideon never could love just one person at time.
186. Criminal Minds: Jennifer "J.J." Jareau. She'd always been the toe-the-line sort of girl. A small town, a soccer scholarship, media, and then the FBI. There wasn't any room in there for dating women, especially when she spent all day with people who'd deconstruct it to death.
187. Criminal Minds: Penelope Garcia. Garcia is privy to more information than regulations or HIPAA say she really should be. She finds out someone on the team's secret.
