Few more...

The Wilds: Toni and another character but I don’t want to say because it’s kind of a spoiler

Doom Patrol: Danny the Street (just saw the first episode featuring Danny and I CRIED), Maura Lee Karupt

Search Party: ELLIOT

 

[TheFuture]

Rawles from the Wire....one throwaway scene of the guy in a gay bar and that was it. No voyeuristic lens into the guy's personal life and that's how it should be.

In the spirit of the thread there are character's I've loved such as Lafayette and the White Canary, but I don't think I can get past that Black Mirror episode of San Junipero. Yorkie had a massive effect on me because I felt most affinity with her story. I think a lot of people can be they gay or straight.

Ah, good one. Yeah, San Junipero was fantastic and I know people on all sides of the spectrum who really felt the impact of that episode and both of those characters. That might be the best Black Mirror episode.

[SV Fan]

Does Jack Tripper from Three's Company count

 

[Deck Rickard]

He wasn’t gay was he? I thought he just pretended to be or something.

 

[Drizzle]

South Park has multiple gay characters now. I don't know if any would seen as particularly good representation, but I do think there's been some quite sweet moments between Tweek and Craig in more recent seasons.

Just thought I would bump this thread to pay tribute to one of the greatest LGBTQ characters of all time (some say THE greatest) and the phenomenal actor who played him. Thank you, Michael K. Williams, for creating a queer character in Omar Little who was badass and complex, at a time when many LGBTQ characters on TV were sadly little more than stereotypes. Thank you also for creating other amazing queer characters in Hap & Leonard and Lovecraft Country. And thank you for just being an amazing human being. Rest in power.

OH YEAH.........they are the best.

Will probably finish this up tonight......I'm not shaped properly, but really like her. LOL

 

[Prison Mike]

Will probably finish this up tonight......I'm not shaped properly, but really like her. LOL

I just started on season 3!

 

[InCali]

I just started on season 3!

1 and 2 are the best imo, but I like her relationship with “hair”. lol

 

[Sithborg]

I've got a good feeling that Juliette will jump up the list this weekend.

 

[chamber-music]

Uncle Clifford from P Valley. The character has the best lines in the show.

Max from Happy Endings. I often see people praise the character because he isn't portrayed as a stereotypical gay man you often see in the media.

Most of the cast of Black Monday (Dawn, Blair & Keith). They were all hilarious.

Vanya from umbrella academy

 

[Teelie]

Watching season 4 of Stranger Things and Maya Thurman-Hawke as Robin is really good. She and Steve are the perfect 100% platonic couple. They work off each other good and so far her scenes with Nancy have been good too.

 

[InCali]

I've got a good feeling that Juliette will jump up the list this weekend.

You would be correct. As a matter of fact, I just started this last night. While Juliette and Cal aren't quite my favorite characters (I do like them though), I like campy vampy.

Favorite line so far; from Elizabeth Mitchell (who I've rather missed).....

Spoiler

You ate my mother?

LOL
