I'm not going to defend the trope, but it's not in play here. Neither character conforms to gender stereotypes, but the woman in the picture refuses throughout the series to identify her sexuality at all. She says "I'm not a lesbian" whenever it comes up, but her only sexual or romantic relationship is with another girl, who she might have been using for plot related purposes. Bi-curious is the only label she doesn't reject in the whole series, and she is definitely not a "lesbian with an exception". Meanwhile, the guy's only romantic relationship in the show is with a completely different girl. Frankly, if the show had been more popular I would have expected the comments on this secret to have taken issue with the OP's assertation that he was gay simply because he was a bit more effeminate than most men.
