    which are your favorite/more inspiring/role models/despised/whatever comes to your mind LGBT characters from the media so far? it can be books, animes, cartoons, movies, tv shows/series, web series, comics even myths and legends!

    Mine are:
    Brian Kinney from Queer as Folk, i can identify with him in being brutally honest sometimes :grin:, but he is one of the examples (even though fictitious) that being gay and muscular (he is not muscular to me) doesn't necessarily means you can't get what you want.

    Russel Middlebrook from the books written by Brent Hartinger, he is a hyperbole of myself :3, and one of his friends whom i dislike a bit, Min, the bisexual overlydramatic girl.

    Yukito Tsukishiro (agendered) from the anime Sakura Cardcaptor, because he is my role model :slight_smile:.

    And the god in the chariot of Helius, the sun god, the music, the male youth and medicine, Apollo :')

    These are all i could come up with for the moment, your turn now :3

    Ellen, so many people love her put her sexuality away because it doesn't matter. I'm sure she even has slightly homophobic fans

    Honestly, I've never seen any other shows that have LGBT characters. Probably because I live in the middle of damn nowhere and don't really get access to so many series I'd like to watch on TV. Sure, I could watch them on the internet, but I'm too busy and frankly, a bit too lazy for that :U

    Well.. there's not many gay (male) characters combined in media, so I don't have much to choose from.

    I loved Paul and Jacob's relationship in The Following. A lot of the moments that made me cry in that show involved either one or both of them.

    Couldn't agree more! He is just the greatest TV character ever :icon_bigg

    I also really like both Fer and David from a spanish soap opera called "Física o Química" (or just FoQ for short).
