LGBT tv shows

Don't forget Cash every now and then. I miss having Showtime. I'm like 2 seasons behind now.

 

Not many shows with bisexual character's

Why does it seem like there's more lesbian couples then gay male couples ?

 

Well there was the sort of threeway relationship between April and her two "gay boyfriends" on Parks and Rec--but that wasn't portrayed in a very positive light. For humor's sake, it wasn't meant to be. In the end, April ditches them because they were just being negative and trashing people all the time--and she of course has a thing for Andy. I don't think they were trying to reflect negatively on all gay or bi people or anything (assuming that at least one of the guys was really bi).

Also on Portlandia, Carrie Brownstein (who is actually openly bi) had a threeway relationship between her, another girl, and Fred Armisen... Done for humor's sake, but only because they all realized how awkward it became, not because there was any negative connotation of bisexuality.

 

Yeah, I am nearly done with Season 1 of Queer as Folk. No bisexual or transgendered characters. We don't exist.

 

The L Word (from HBO 2004-2009) Really great female characters…and lordy I have such a crush on Kate Moennig! I like the show because it's intelligent. Yeah

 

PS,
Just fair warning on the L Word, I'm just into season 3 and season 2 did have some real triggers…REAL triggers…not all pleasant…But…maybe it's good to dig that stuff out of the closet!

 

Karmy for life!

Try beat me haha I've got loads more but I only watched the lesbian stoylines so I can't remember the series' names.. :/

 

For some reason I don't normally like TV shows that are blatantly about homosexuality. They just kinda overdo it to me. Like I HATED The L Word and Orange is the New Black. The only exception for me is Queer as Folk, which is frickin gem. I really like Orphan Black, The Fosters, and Buffy which all have queer characters in it. I absolutely love Skins, and Faking It is actually adorable.

 

Anyone currently watching Corrie for Todd & Billy?

Transparent. I've only seen like 5 episodes so far, and has at least 3 LGBT main characters. I think I also heard Syd and Ali are bisexual (which I guess makes sense because Carrie Brownstein, who plays Syd, is bisexual), making it 5, with one transgender character, three bisexual characters, and one lesbian character.

Also Portlandia, with like 4 bisexual characters, and then Candace and Toni, who I'm not really sure about.

 

While it's not a LGBT show, my favorite show, Orphan Black, does have a prominent lesbian character in Cosima. She is probably my favorite female character on TV right now.

 

And the gay (male) character on the show is neutered, like is always the case with gay (male) characters on tv. The gay (male) character never get a love interest.

Because there are?

 

In the Flesh! It's a British drama about a rehabilitated zombie's struggle to fit back into his local community, and it is fantastic. The main character Kieren is gay, and there's a really sweet romantic subplot between him and this other zombie in the second season.

Should warn you though, they cancelled it after two seasons. :tears:

 

Sense8, Netflix original, amazing series with a great storyline that isn't focused solely around LGBT but includes it well with a gay guy and a transwoman in a lesbian relationship both as main characters. Really recommend watching it.

 

Do the shows just need LGBT characters in them to qualify as "LGBT Shows?" In that case:

- Game of Thrones
- South Park
- Archer
- Rick and Morty

...And that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

 

Queer as folk (US version though)
The 100. The main character is bisexual and she is shown in a positive light.
Glee.
How to get away with murder.

 

Anyone watching the Norwegian show Skam? Isak and Even kissed in the new episode!
