The '''dead/evil lesbian cliché''' is the plot [[cliché]] wherein [[lesbians]] in fiction will end up dead or evil by the end of the story.

A notable non-SFnal example is the film ''The Children's Hour'' (1961).

== Examples in SF ==
{{spoiler}}
* [[Talia Winters]] in ''[[Babylon 5]]''

* [[Tara Maclean|Tara]] and [[Willow Rosenberg|Willow]] in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy The Vampire Slayer]]'' Season 6: Willow turns evil after Tara's death.

* [[Thelma Bates]] in ''[[Hex (TV series)|Hex]]'' subverts the cliché a little: she dies in the first episode, but remains a major character throughout the rest of the series since she immediately returns as a [[ghost]].
