When I started watching, I already knew David was going to fall in love with a man named Patrick. On several occasions, I’d seen men answering prompts in their dating profiles — “I’m just a David, looking for my Patrick”.

I love Dungeons and Dragons, and I love LGBT D&D content, so I was quite pleased to learn that the second Critical Roll campaign, The Mighty Nein, had been adapted into an animated series of the same name, because that original tabletop playthrough was quite queer.

Netflix’s The Summer Hikaru Died (TSHD) and Apple TV’s Pluribus both have “Body Snatcher” type plot lines: an entity has access to all your loved one’s memories, is inhabiting a body that isn’t their own, and is fixated on being close to you.
They’re also both deeply sad shows about gay loss.

Ace Ventura wasn’t the only culprit. The 1990s were filled with sketches, sitcoms, and movies that called mockery “progress.” This essay is about what that laughter really cost us.

Something of a sleeper hit, Boots is one of the most popular TV series in the world right now, and the Trump Administration hates it.

Watch This Gay Show: Trump Will Hate You for It

“Boots” is the perfect counterpoint to a hate-raddled administration vastly disconnected from normal human values.

For queer viewers who rarely see themselves onscreen, just watching a full cast of queer women and non-binary folks navigate love, conflict, and longing can be powerfully affirming. The visibility feels both exciting and vital.

With Queer Reality TV, We're Armchair Therapists? | Prism & Pen

When the first season of Ultimatum: Queer Love dropped on Netflix two years ago, I was ecstatic — finally, a reality dating show centering queer women and non-binary people. The series follows five…

@Em0nM4stodon Fave tv shows with queer characters that heal my heart after breaking it a little:

Arcane: League of Legends, Our Flag Means Death, A League of Their Own (the show), Orphan Black, Sense 8.

I have other fave shows that have queer characters but the queer representation isn’t really the thing that I like (Andor, Killjoys, Black Sails, Warrior Nun, The Dragon Prince, See, Perry Mason, Death and Other Details, Glow)
