An Aesop (or Gaysop if you will) that was pretty common in The Nineties when gay people started becoming more and more prominent in the media. Basically, a character will be introduced that is soon revealed to be gay or bi (or if they were gutsy enough, a previously known character would be outed). Then the rest of the episode would be spent on one of the main characters discriminating against them, or fearing that they'll turn him gay or something, even if characterization would indicate that he would not be so ignorant. See also Coming Out Story and Fair for Its Day.
