Question 1 of 10
1. This poor guy was always mistaken for being gay. His co-workers said he had "a quality" and it didn't help that his father was the lead drag queen in the Las Vegas show "Viva Las Gay-gas". He and his roommate each gave each other flashy "Best Buds" gold bracelets and knew that people would refer to them as "bracelet buddies". Which TV character/show does this describe? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. The campy and cheesy quality of this "comedy of errors" wouldn't have been nearly as potent if it hadn't been for this lead actor's character. When three single people lived together in the 1970s and none of them were dating each other, sometimes the landlord thought that something inappropriate was going on. Even though he was a swinging bachelor, this character's landlord constantly was led to believe he was gay just so that they could all continue to live together. What TV character/show does this describe? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. It wasn't surprising that this character was mistaken for being gay, since he fit all of the stereotypical interest circles of gay men. He loved opera, wine, fine dining, travel, musical theater, and enjoyed making esoteric statements relating to history, art, literature, and the theater. Only his brother seemed to appreciate and understand his comments. In one episode, he befriended an opera conductor and they struck up a fabulous relationship, only to discover that the conductor believed they were in a serious gay relationship. Which character/TV show does this describe? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. This high powered executive/writer was frequently accused by her staff of being gay. She sported "bi-curious" shoes and her boss even set her up with his friend who was a "brilliant plastics engineer/lesbian". In one flashback to her infancy, she was being pushed in her stroller and a bystander stopped to compliment: "Oh, what an adorable little lesbian". What TV character/show does this describe? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. The "Golden Girls" were living it up in the 1980s in Miami, Florida. In one episode, one of the roommates' friends came to visit after losing her partner, Pat. She formed a close bond with one of the ladies and eventually realized that she had feelings for her. Some of the roommates were confused about the definition of "lesbian" and first thought it meant it was a person from Lebanon ('Lebanese'). Eventually they dealt with the situation diplomatically and the two of them formed a close friendship. Which Golden Girl was pursued by her roommate's lesbian friend? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. On one episode of this family comedy, a mischievous schoolgirl convinced two brothers that their other brother was gay. While none of the four brothers on the show ever "came out", the evidence for the middle-older brother's homosexuality was actually quite compelling and convincing. In addition, the eldest brother also once pretended to be gay when he helped with a beauty pageant so that he could try and get girls to like him before he revealed his true sexual identity. Which TV show fits this plot description? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. There was only one key episode where this character was mistaken for being gay and it was all because of her haircut. She wanted a powerful and "take charge" image for a banquet, but instead she got a hyper masculine short haircut that, with her business suit, made her look like an effeminate man. To top it all off, her female friend and companion for the evening took one look at her and said, "This is my evening...I'm ______'s trophy wife." Which female TV character/show featured this hilarious episode? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. This character is the epitome of a "closeted gay man" and he is pining away for his evil boss, even though his boss has no idea. He is seen frolicking at the local pride parade, enjoys going on vacation to "all male resorts", and he frequently declares his love for his boss in front of many different witnesses. Which character/TV show does this describe? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Many different male duos on television sitcoms have had such close relationships that people frequently mistook their closeness as signs of a homosexual relationship. Maybe they live together, maybe they work together, or maybe they are just best buds. Which of the following dynamic male duos has NOT been accused of being gay? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. This hit show featured an "out of this world" family trying to make their way in the U.S.A. On one hilarious episode, this lead female character dated "the most sensitive man she'd ever met", only to find out that this man thought she was a transsexual. Her conversations about trying to "blend into society" and her military background fueled the fire of confusion about whether she was a biological woman. When they finally became intimate, she took off her clothes, he realized she was a woman and he immediately broke up with her. What character/TV show does this describe? Hint

A girl at school convinced Malcolm that Reese wass gay, and she told Reese that Malcolm was gay. As per usual, each of them proceeded to see all of the 'warning signs' of their brother's implied gayness.
