Bury your gays
"Bury your gays" or "dead lesbian syndrome" is a trope in the media portrayal of LGBTQ people in which queer characters face tragic fates, including death, much more often than straight characters. This reflection of widespread homophobia drew mainstream attention in the 2010s through publicized examples such as the death of the character Lexa in The 100 television series. The controversy and discussion resulting from these examples led some creators of popular fiction to consciously avoid harmful tropes and present more positive portrayals of LGBTQ characters.
