Gay couple show

You know how some people will argue that the original U.K. version of The Office was superior to the American version?

Throughout its four seasons, Netflix’s Sex Educationexcelled at showing various relationship dynamics, particularly among its younger cast members. Here, we present to you First Kill. Although this show was canceled after just one season, it offered a juicy plot in the vein of teen faves like The Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf, one that asks what would happen if a vampire and a monster hunter who are supposed to be sworn enemies end up falling in love.

This British coming-of-age romantic comedy-drama satisfies that void with an adorable, entirely believable, totally heartwarming story of two schoolboys discovering that their friendship may be something more.

Even though Nick and Charlie are the flagship couple in the Netflix series Heartstopper, Tao and Elle also deserve a lot of attention.

Theirs was a volatile relationship from the beginning, in no small part because Brian is a bit of a jerk and has no desire to settle down. To make matters more complicated, it’s around this time that the prince starts to make revelations about his sexuality as he falls in love with one of his fellow classmates.

David and Patrick

Schitt’s Creek was charming right out of the gate but also successfully built on its characters and their personalities. Their relationship is certainly volatile, and during the series’ three seasons, they have their fair share of highs and lows.

Unlike the earlier film version of Rice’s novel, the series doesn’t attempt to hide the sexual nature of their relationship, and it’s clear that, despite everything, they are immortal soulmates.

When Netflix’s Sex Educationbegins, Eric and Adam are far from friends; in fact, Adam is something of a bully.

The complicated and tragic ones. Who among us didn’t shed a happy tear when Blaine sang “Teenage Dream” to Kurt?

This Ryan Murphy musical comedy and drama was a genre-busting breakthrough when it came out in 2009, in no small part because of the breadth of LGBTQ experience it portrays. As such, they are a remarkable exemplar of gay life for a middle-aged couple.

The radical thing about this classic ABC ensemble comedy was that whereas many LGBTQ television shows have depicted gay characters in urban landscapes, this one depicted a married gay couple tackling suburbia.

Nick and Charlie

Netflix managed to create a bona fide hit with Heartstopper, the beloved teen romance based on the series of graphic novels by Alice Oseman. It’s particularly refreshing to see a trans character like Elle get a romantic plot rather than one centered on trauma and heartache.

They are, without question, one of the sweetest couples on TV, and it’s a pleasure getting to watch their relationship mature and deepen. They were adopting and raising children, they were dealing with difficult in-laws, and they were trying to find humor in everyday life.

Another show that was canceled too soon, Glamorous can best be described as the queer Devil Wears Prada, as it follows the enthusiastic but often messy Marco (Miss Benny), who lands a job as an assistant for the tough beauty mogul Madolyn Addison (Kim Cattrall).
