Other than Irene, I actually can't think of any lesbian characters that did this? I know it happened a lot in older media, like some of the classic Bond films etc, but in the things I grew up with (I'm in my 20's) and currently watch? Drawing a blank.

Oh and by knowing it happened I mean "read about it on the Internet in discussions on lesbian representation in the media."

She Hate Me (not a typo), a terrible fucking movie directed by Spike Lee, which is particularly ironic considering how vocal he is about other kinds of discrimination. Perhaps for the best you never saw it.

A lot of porn features this trope.

Ever seen The Kids Are Alright? In this case the lesbian character is the protagonist, and has a longtime partner, but sure enough, the explicit sex scenes are all between her and... a man.

Oh man there was a movie about a marketing exec, and his boss was a hot lesbian who even had a partner and had it was said by herself and others she was a lesbian.... And yet she still ends up boning the main dude multiple times.

The American version of Skins did this. Our Idiot Brother did something similar with Zooey Deschanel's character.

[absenteschaton]

Chasing Amy, and Queer as Folk and The L Word did it a couple of times. The Kids are Alright was a particularly bad one imo.

Though in my personal experience it's more of an IRL stereotype than a media one? The idea that there's an 'exception' to being a lesbian, or that 'she's just waiting for the right man' is a tried and true stereotype of same-gender attracted women.
