Netflix series gay
Finding good queer media is hard. Sometimes you’re looking for a good fantasy show that happens to star a lesbian lead. Other times, you’re looking for high drama featuring gay relationship, or a sitcom with trans visibility. We know it’s hard to combat with streaming services’ slim LGBTQ categories, and more complicated to disseminate what exactly is LGBTQ about them from brief descriptors. It’s even more challenging to remain unspoiled if you desire to know what you’re getting into before you dive in.
As such, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite LGBTQ shows currently on Netflix. Each show here features a queer nature in a starring role, most with ongoing storylines throughout the series. There’s a little something for everyone, from lighthearted animation to prestige drama, and we did our best to comprise a selection that represents a broad amount of the queer community. We’ve also done our best to incorporate why each entry made it on the list without giving away too much—some of these storylines don’t arise until well into the series, so we want to keep you as unspoiled as feasible.
