The act of a television show, movie, book, video game or other content taking a character with an ambiguous, undefined or potential LGBT orientation and giving them a straight love interest to affirm that the character is heterosexual. Media often does this to eliminate the possibility of LGBT relationships becoming canon, or speculation of a character's sexual orientation.
The eventual hetification of this character will ruin his relationship dynamic with his male friend.
