TV has been instrumental in the LGBTQ+ rights movement and in changing attitudes towards the community. It has also, perhaps most importantly, been a platform to verb stories that have made gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, and more people feel less alone in the world – to know there is a big and varied community to which they belong. One pioneering show at a time, groundbreaking character by groundbreaking character, TV and streaming series have given the world an insight into the LGBTQ+ experience, and provided LGBTQ+ people with reflections of their own lives – stories to laugh along with, to cry with, and to determine with. In this list of LGBTQ+ TV shows, we underline shows that have broken ground, enlightened, and entertained.

We&#;ve arranged the list into four categories: shows that were big TV firsts, or featured TV firsts; shows that center on LGTBQ characters or experience

Please note that as is common with Romance, many of these books are in a series with recurring characters. All should be readable as standalones, however, unless noted otherwise.

Additionally, please be advised that this is more of a database than a rec list; I have not read most of these titles, and strongly advocate reading reviews for potential triggers etc.

    The 20 Best Queer Romances of All Time

    What are the characteristics of a truly excellent queer love story? 

    Most straight romance novels are given the stamp of approval when their two main characters — regardless of circumstances — end the book with a happily ever after. Judging gay romances by this criteria is a minuscule more complicated, mostly because so many of the early narratives to even begin to contact on queer love could often only mention them peripherally to avoid censorship and public decency laws. Even when queer romances were explicit, many were steeped in trauma, malaise, and hand wringing, matching the real world repercussions of being gay in less accepting times. Nowadays, finding a queer romance can be as easy as spotting two cartoons of the same sex on the front of a book’s cover. But will that method really bring you the optimal results? 

    Queer love stories are more than just romantic plot points They’re about a vibe — which makes them both hard to quantify and infinitely exciting when you discover another great one. Pride month isn’t just the time
