Ultimate Guide to Queer TV Shows
Hey friends! I know it’s been like, what, a year since I posted anything on this blog? Life got busy and I’ve started and abandoned at least a dozen or so posts, much to the annoyance of my web admin who had to make this wordpress install for me. Anyways, I’ve decided to come back with a bang.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people complain that they don’t know where to find queer content or what to Queer TV Shows to watch for ultimate queertitude, so I have made A LIST. This is only the lists of shows I have watched and mostly enjoyed with my top recommendations, well, at the top.
If you have any Queer TV shows you’d like me to add, feel free to comment below or find me on twitter @DesdemonaWren or on tumblr @doebizarre.

Shows with one-off or two-off queer side characters that are obviously queer and are stated to be queer in the show.

Shows where the creators said the main character or characters are queer and it’s sort of supported by the work, but the character is in a straight passing relationship or hasn’t officially come out in the work but this is 2022 and we don’t out people before they’re ready
- Bob’s Burgers

*Kim’s Convenience had a queer subplot for Janet in the final season, but it was cut short before they really explored that for her and I’m still kind of mad about it.
