Gay couples on tv series

Home / media entertainment / Gay couples on tv series

From the beginning of the series, it’s clear that there’s something between them, though it takes quite a lot of stumbling (mostly on Tao’s part) before they finally come together as a couple. It’s clear, however, that the two truly do love one another, and they each bring something unique to the table, with Nick being able to provide the love, shelter, and support that Charlie needs.

Other shows with gay couples on this list include The New Normal and Degrassi: The Next Generation. Sammy develops a crush on his roommate, and his friend Kat helps him explore it.

The development of Sammy's sexuality comes to a head when Sammy is held back a year, Ollie is kicked off the third-year tour, and they're assigned to each other in a tutor/student relationship.

When, at long last, they finally get their happily-ever-after, it’s impossible for even the most hard-hearted viewer not to swoon.

Modern Familymore than lives up to its title, and it provides a fascinating and hilarious look at the changes taking over the institution of the family in the 21st century.

The bond between Ola and Lily, which starts to gel in the second season, is complicated, like so many of the other relationships in the series, but they still manage to talk about their difficulties in a remarkably mature way. However, fans of the show always had a feeling that they would be one of those series couples that made it through to the end, and they were not disappointed.

 

Netflix

Even though Nick and Charlie are the flagship couple in the Netflix series Heartstopper, Tao and Elle also deserve a lot of attention. Their relationship has more than its fair share of ups and downs — this is Shameless, after all — but they do eventually end up getting married, finally achieving a sort of happily-ever-after that is so often denied to LGBTQ+ people both on television and in the real world.

 

The WB

Buffyhas slowly become a true LGBTQ+ fan favorite, thanks to its empowered female protagonist, snappy dialogue, and, of course, the relationship between Tara and Willow.

Their bond is one of the most touching in the series, and it’s clear how much they love one another. Theirs was indeed a bond of love, even if it is somewhat marred by the fact that Tara ends up being killed, leading the relationship as a whole to lean a bit too much into the “bury your gays” trope so common in television.

Santana and Brittany

Fox

Gleewas one of those shows that truly reveled in giving new representation to LGBTQ+ people, and one of the most beloved couples was Santana and Brittany.

However, that’s what happens during the episode, which focuses on the strange yet touching relationship that emerges between Bill and Frank. We watch Sammy struggle with his sexuality for a season and a half, during which time he dates and breaks up with several girls. They broke up with their wives in the series opener to begin a relationship with one another, and the subsequent seasons showed them coming to terms with their identities as gay men of a certain age.

Thomas West

Thomas J. West III earned a PhD in film and screen studies from Syracuse University in 2018. 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. His writing on film and TV has appeared at Screen Rant, Screenology, FanFare, Primetimer, Cinemania, and in a number of scholarly journals and edited collections

The forced proximity leads Sammy to develop a crush on Ollie.

Even so, it’s possible to find happiness even in the darkness, as the relationship between Ian and Mickey shows. By the time the series begins, they have already been together for quite a long time, and though they might appear to be a puzzle to outsiders, they have still managed to build a life for themselves.
