But! Compared to even a couple of years ago, this list is so much more expansive, and that is a delight. Romantic and/or sexual relationships between women are still less than fruitful, as are shows dedicated to lesbian, bisexual, and pansexual characters (plus, there's been a depressing amount of cancellations/series endings for my taste). And recently, there's been an abundance of shows featuring queer characters that don't rely on stereotypes or make me constantly worried they're gonna deploy a ' bury your gays' story arc.
It's a breath of fresh air to see LGBTQ+ characters on-screen living their best lives.
