Tv shows with gay couples

From the moment that Blaine serenaded Kurt with a rendition of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” it was clear that they were one of the couples that would last the duration of the show. At the end of the day, their love will not and cannot be contained by the conventions of straight society.

Eventually, however, they end up being a couple, and Eric’s emotional openness proves to be an oasis for Adam, who’s had to endure his father’s coldness his whole life. The couples that audiences shipped from day one, and the ones they still long for through exceptional fan edits on TikTok.

But this Pride Month, let’s celebrate the TV couples we have right now.

David and Patrick from Schitt’s Creek, Will and Vince from Will & Grace, and Darry and White Josh from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend are a few of the best gay couples on TV.

Willow and Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Susan and Carol from Friends, and Clarke and Lexa from The 100 are some of the best lesbian couples on TV.

You’ll find many great LGBTQ+ couples on this list, but feel free to add any that we may have missed.

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. Of course, they’re teens, so they have to go through some on-and-off periods, and both have their issues and struggles to overcome to make their relationship work.

The funny and heartwarming ones. Their bond is one of the most touching in the series, and it’s clear how much they love one another. 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.

The complicated and tragic ones. 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. Theirs is a romance that is a little tragic, to be sure, but it’s also all the more poignant for that.

Brian and Justin

Few LGBTQ+ couples have been as important or as analyzed as Brian and Justin from the groundbreaking American version of the series Queer as Folk.

Even though this particular couple doesn’t get together, it’s still clear that their relationship has changed them both for the better and in ways that will affect the rest of their lives.

Even though Grace and Frankie were the main characters in the show that bore their name, their ex-husbands, Sol and Robert, were also highlights of the Netflix show.

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.

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 certainly make for a compelling and fascinating couple, though they don’t truly admit their desire until near the very end, after which Villanelle ends up dying (thus buying into the “bury your gays trope”). They’re a true swoon-worthy couple, for who could forget the time that Patrick serenaded David with an acoustic version of “Simply the Best?” Their wedding proved the perfect way for the show to end, and the stage was set for them to build their lives together in Schitt’s Creek.

While Our Flag Means Deathwas canceled prematurely, viewers at least got the chance to see their heroes get the happy ending they deserved.

Victor and Benji

Though Love, Victoris a spin-off of the teen romance film Love, Simon, it is its own phenomenon, focusing on teenage Victor as he comes to terms with his sexuality and falls in love with the soulful but troubled Benji.

The story's true heart is the romance between au pair Dani and Jamie, who manage to forge a love even amid the ghostly happenings around them. Their relationship thus mirrors the broader trajectory of LGBTQ+ rights in America, with all of the heartbreak and joy that entails.

In some ways, it’s quite surprising to see a heartfelt gay love story in a series like The Last of Us, which takes place in a world ravaged by a fungal epidemic that has turned most humans into zombies.

Throughout its four seasons, Netflix’s Sex Educationexcelled at showing various relationship dynamics, particularly among its younger cast members. 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.

Indeed, they went through quite a lot as a couple, and there were times when it seemed like they wouldn’t make it.
