The trailblazing developments are happening all across different genres of TV-from comedy to drama, reality to animated-on both broadcast and streaming. These are real characters with real stories to tell. The days of the token gay best friend or the kooky lesbian aunt are, thankfully, becoming a thing of the past. Increasingly, the shows themselves are created by queer people and feature exclusively queer actors and writers. Some shows even feature all-LGBTQ+ crews behind the scenes, as well. More than ever before, queer representation is happening for spectrums-trans, non-binary, differently abled-on some of the most highly anticipated and impactful shows on television. This Pride Month, there is no shortage of groundbreaking LGBTQ+ content on TV.
