Toaster Oven (“Converting Hetero”) (B)

A lesbian “converts” a woman who is heterosexual or helps her discover the real meaning of love or helps her realise that she is actually lesbian or bisexual or pansexual. The toaster oven comes in because the lesbian supposedly ‘wins a toaster oven by converting a straight woman’. It’s a long running joke. This category is also sometimes known as straight to gay or straight to lesbian.
