L – Poussey (Orange Is the New Black)

Despite my mixed feelings of OitNB in general, I always really loved Poussey as a character. Very sympathetic.

G – Kevin (Brothers & Sisters)

Recently finished binge watching B&S, and I love his snarky sarcasm and how bad he is at romance. Sadly not played by a gay actor, but Matthew Rhys is great, so whatever.

B – Thirteen (House)

House isn't available in Sweden at the moment, but I'd love to rewatch it. I remember liking how competent she was.

L - second poussey, also Pearl, Ruby, and Sapphire from Steven Universe. They're lesbians no matter what gender crap people wanna tack onto that show

G - Jaimé from broad city, oscar from the office, I'm honestly blanking on others....

B - both Ilana and Abbi from broad city, Klaus from umbrella academy

Haha, I remember someone on the internet referring to that show as "Lesbian rocks from outer space" and I was like... "Sigh... Okay, now I guess I have to see this..."

Yeah, actually. I think I downloaded the first few seasons and marathoned them over a few days. But the remaining episodes were coming out randomly and it just got confusing so I ended up forgetting about it. And then all that weird gender shit started popping up and stories about the showrunners being gender-weirdos and I was like.... (backs slowly away...)

They could have just let Stevonnie be Stevonnie without making it into a political agenda, you know? It's a fantasy kids show with magic. You can get a male+female hybrid character without having to call it trans or nonbinary or whatever.

I really wonder how the future generations are going to look back at this shit. I worry the early 2000's century will be known as the era that pedos took over and tried to recruit children into sexual confusion through cartoons and in-school propaganda.

The cartoon itself was pretty nice though I think I was at the part where the Yellow Diamond lady had just shown up... I should go back and watch the rest I guess.

Well, I just binged 9 of 10 seasons of The Walking Dead (on Netflix) which has LGB representation to choose from instead of me thinking of old characters on cancelled shows lol so... L - Denise, the Alexandrian doctor (deceased), G - Jesus, the Hilltop scavenger (deceased), B - Magna, leader of a small group who resides in Hilltop (alive with her girlfriend Yumiko).

I also binged The 100 this month and could've chosen Clarke, Lexa, Niylah, Nathan, or Eric.

L - Nicky from OITNB always made my heart flutter, so I'll go with her. I think it's more because I had a major crush on the actress back in the 90's, but the character's unrequited love for Lorna (or only-requited when it's convenient for Lorna) always made me so sad for her.

G - Rickie from My So Called Life. I recommend all youngsters here to see it, it was THE teen show of the 90's. It was just sooo sooo soooo PLAID. But Rickie was everything, and he had such a good storyline. At first he came out as bisexual, but then finally said he was gay, and we all let out a pent-up breath of relief.

B - Elanor from The Good Place. She's the most normal and "casually-bi" bisexual person I've seen on TV.

L — Aunt Patty (The Simpsons)

Even though the show jumped the shark long before she came out of the closet and they handled her romance with someone who turned out to be a transbian rather clumsily. She should have figured out sooner, yet she still couldn't go through with it any more than her desperate heterosexual twin sister Selma could stay in a sham marriage to Troy McClure.

G — Jodie Dallas (Soap)

Despite the fact that they left him in limbo at the end of the series, they still managed to create a complex, multi-dimensional gay male character in a 1970s sitcom. He narrowly avoided doing the worst things gay men can do to ourselves. And even his character flaws seem trivial when you consider who his family is and how even greater their flaws are.

B — C.J. (LA Law)

A short-haired female English attorney who made TV history when she kissed Abby (Michele Greene). Unfortunately, the show didn't do much with that beyond that.
