LGBT representation in current media

Who are your favorite characters and why?

Sense8 had awesome queer characters. I think I was more pleased about the gay and lesbian character than any other media. (lesbian character is also a trans woman which is awesome)

Sense8 seemed like a cool idea for a show, and I love how much diversity it has, but I cannot stand watching shows that waste so much time on sex scenes. They just drone on and on and on, and can we please get back to the plot already?

Well, normally I'd agree, I usually find long sex scenes boring. But in the case of Sense8, I can't, because for one, the show spent so much time on emotional development and developing relationships and "normal" life circumstances that felt even more thematically important than even the sci-fi stuff - which was more or less tacked on as an afterthought. For another, the sex scenes in question were queer as often as they weren't, and you rarely see long, loving, highly sensual gay sex scenes. Also, that orgy scene was probably the hottest thing I've seen outside of porn, so there's that, too.

I love that Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy is an out and proud bisexual. I don't always love the storylines with her, but I generally do love her. She's one of few the reasons I'm still sticking with the show.

Courtesy of the blog "A List of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago," this was my introduction to the character of Callie:

"They are so forcefully ungaying Callie that the incoming Melissa George character, hired as a lesbian Sawyer to Hahn and Callie's Jack and Kate, got caught in the straightwash, went into a straightspin, and ended up taking a straightdive right into the straightway. She's so straight now that they're going to name her character Isaiah Washington."

I'm glad to hear she has a girlfriend again.

Really? I'm not sure what this is talking about. She's mostly had girlfriends. After Hahn, she had the hots for Melissa George's guest character (who turned out to be awful). Then she was with Arizona off and on for a long time. During one break she slept with Mark Sloan but only once (or twice). After she and Arizona broke up for good (hopefully not permanently but seems to be so far), she went out with a guy briefly. Now she's with a woman again.

Personally I think they were clear right from the thing with Hahn that Callie was bi, even though they didn't use the words until a few seasons later. That was what broke up her and Hahn: Hahn realized she was a lesbian, Callie didn't have quite the same eyeopening experience and slept with Mark to see if there was a difference and their wasn't with her. Hahn couldn't deal with the cheating or with the fact that Callie was only "sort of a lesbian."

And after Hahn, Callie never went back to being straight. Most of her partners since have been women, just with the occasional man inbetween.

Curtis (Arrow), the Captain(Flash), Mason (Teen Wolf).

Those are actually the only current shows with LGBT characters (oh and Modern Family, but Mitch and Cam kinda suck as people) I'm watching. If you want to go back aways, I really loved Regina on Out of Practice.

I like Dr Denise and Aaron from The Walking Dead, and Oliver from How To Get Away With Murder. Mostly because they're all adorable and as of yet have hearts of gold.

There's definitely more but I'm blanking right now.

Each and every queer lady on OiTNB, mainly because there are many and they are all different people.

I really just can't stand the "token gay", which is such a frequent thing in shows these days.

Since I'm already thinking of Homestuck (see above thread) - Rose LaLonde! <3 Oh, and obvious answer: Korra! And Asami. I never watched past the first two seasons so my thoughts on Asami aren't as strong. Korra is so great though.

It occurs to me that a lot of the media I consume has canonically queer characters only in minor roles if at all. I like the nonchalant way some things I like approach queer characters and relationships but very few of them feature them in major roles. :/

Oliver Jole tops my list at the moment, although I don't think it will be my favorite Vorkosigan book.

Yassss. I'd seen this explored in fic but was surprised to see it become canon that Aral had a male lover who was also semi-involved with Cordelia as well. It's so hard to find both queer and poly representation that I just about cried. I don't think it will be my favorite (Memory, as hard as it is to read, is probably my favorite, with A Civil Campaign a close second) but I really loved it.

I'm fond of Shore Leave from the Venture Bros.

Ellie in The Last of Us and Dorian from Dragon Age.

Clarke Griffin but I don't wanna talk about it after recent events

Mickey Milkovich

Mac from it's always sunny

Poussey from OITNB

clearly i like my characters to be fucks ups with lots of baggage, also the gay being pretty secondary to everything else about them.
i can't relate to perfect happy gay characters.
