Gay representation

Gay representation—and more broadly, LGBTQ+ representation—is a dynamic, ever-evolving tapestry of art, commerce, politics, and cultural movements. Its history is etched with censorship, hidden meanings, brave defiance, and triumphant visibility.

LGBTQ+ representation in TV and film is incredibly important. For the most part, this representation is a great thing, but it can be seriously upsetting when it isn’t done well.

From "Queer Eye" to "Will & Grace" and everything in between, here are LGBTQ+ shows that changed everything for queer representation in entertainment.

Media representations of sexuality have historically been mostly heterosexual, with LGBT representations being largely invisible.
