Across many genres, LGBTQ inclusion has risen steadily; most importantly, the love stories told only continue to become more mainstream and filled with joy. Not every fate on this list is a nice one, and some termination tragically, but each story is rooted in captivating performances and some of the most romantic moments ever to grace the small screen.
This is a rerun of a list we ran on a different site, updated with some couples we missed last year, new couples that we just met, and new blurbs for currently running TV shows. Happy Valentine&#;s Day!

Sue/Emily, Dickinson
Apple TV+
Literary lovers, unite! Though the historical relationship between Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) and her best friend-turned-sister-in-law Sue Gilbert (Ella Hunt) is largely speculative, Dickinson packs so much passion between the two that it’s not hard to believe each detail is real.
At a time when culture frowned upon the very idea of a queer woman relationship, Emily and Sue had to share their lov
Favorite Gay TV Couples Part 1
I posted awhile ago about gay couples in tv shows and what those shows were about, but I didn't display my personal viewpoints on those pairings and their storylines so I idea I do it now. I'll also post a link to my fav fanvid of each pairing so you can also review that out if you want. (If gif doesn't display up just click on it and they should all pop up)
Starting first with my recent obsession, Stendan (Brendan Brady & Stephen Hay)
This pairing has a storyline that enraptures with the sick and twisted. Its dark with the tones of abuse, obsession, and possessiveness. But it caters to the heart with a love so immersive so real that it holds you captive. Brendan (Played by Emmett Scanlan also played Simon In the Flesh) has been called crazy, manipulative, psycho, and a monster. And the thing isthey're all appropriate names, but they're not all he is.
MM: What is it you spot in Brendan? SH: Well as a boss, he’s alright, yeah. MM: Yeah, don’t make the mistake of thinking I’m stupid. I want the actual story
These are in no particular direct, but it is a list of my favourite homosexual couples to have been on television in the last decade or so.
QUEER AS FOLK USA [Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor]
QAF chronicles the lives of five lgbtq+ men; Michael Novoty, Emmett Honeycutt, Ted Schmidt, Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor (and a queer woman couple; Lindsey Peterson and Melaine Marcus). It premiered in on Showtime with the last episode aired in lasting a prosperous five seasons.
Years ago I once said Brian and Justin had the best on-screen chemistry I had ever seen in the drama….even now that comment remains valid.
I was only ten…or eleven when I first watched the pilot episode of Queer as Folk and was introduced to lgbtq+ Pittsburgh and the five male cast characters; Michael Novotny- The young man next door best friend; Emmett Honeycutt- the out-proud flamboyant queen; Ted Schmidt- the boring accountant and Brian Kinney- the narcissistic, egotistic, heterophobe that lived his life with no regrets. The fifth was lofty school senior Justin Taylor.
For five years the series followed the t

Eve and Villanelle
BBC
Killing Eve might own stumbled a bit in its final season, but there’s no question that Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer had palpable affinity as Eve, a detective, and Villanelle, the ruthless assassin with whom she develops an attraction. They certainly make for a compelling and fascinating couple, though they don’t truly admit their desire until near the very finish, after which Villanelle ends up dying (thus buying into the “bury your gays trope”). Even though their story doesn’t travel out with a cheerful ending, viewers can still enjoy their cat-and-mouse dynamic, as well as view the tremendous talents of Oh and Comer insert to good use.
Netflix
Throughout its four seasons, Netflix’s Sex Educationexcelled at showing various association dynamics, particularly among its younger cast members. The bond between Ola and Lily, which starts to gel in the second season, is complicated, enjoy so many of the other relationships in the series, but they still manage to talk abou
