The Spear Counterpart of the Psycho Lesbian, and the monosexual counterpart to the Depraved Bisexual. Usually a villainous take on the Camp Gay or, on the other end of the spectrum, a Manly Gay sexual predator. His motive is usually either his depraved sexuality, or an unrequited love, like his Psycho Lesbian sister. If he's not explicitly gay, but it wouldn't be surprising, he's a Sissy Villain. These days, it's far more common that a gay character is not evil. However, another character might then be cast in the role of Heteronormative Crusader and mistake the gay character for being evil.

abstract
  • The Spear Counterpart of the Psycho Lesbian, and the monosexual counterpart to the Depraved Bisexual. Usually a villainous take on the Camp Gay or, on the other end of the spectrum, a Manly Gay sexual predator. His motive is usually either his depraved sexuality, or an unrequited love, like his Psycho Lesbian sister. If he's not explicitly gay, but it wouldn't be surprising, he's a Sissy Villain. Please note that a villain simply being gay is not enough for this trope to be in effect. His brand of evil must involve a sexual nature and/or some uncomfortable flirting with the hero. Before adding an example, think of whether he'd be any different if he wasn't gay. On the other hand, for some people it is enough. For decades, this was the only role gays could play in mainstream media, and it still crops up uncomfortably often. Frequently the villain will be the only homosexual in the story. Now there will be a Freudian Excuse or they be played sympathetically - a kind of Author's Saving Throw against criticism. But at the end of the day the question for most of us who keep track of these portrayals isn't "Why isn't that Ax Crazy gay man more sympathetic?" but "Why are there so many Ax Crazy gays and lesbians out there?" These days, it's far more common that a gay character is not evil. However, another character might then be cast in the role of Heteronormative Crusader and mistake the gay character for being evil.
