Best LGBTQ-ish shows?
Don't know if this is thread topic yet/ever has been but what are some of the best TV shows out there that have LGBTQ characters?

I personally think Grey's Anatomy and Modern Family do a pretty good job!
I don't keep up with Pretty Little Liars so much anymore (mostly 'cause the storyline is god-awful) but I thought Emily's coming out scene was kind of amazing. Opinions?

lol Glee visits that topic a whole lot
...i don't know if that's your kinda show, and granted it isn't the most realistic show out there, but the LGBTQ storyline DEFINITELY gets a lot of exposure

The L Word.

Although that show can really be a bit much sometimes.

Haha yeah I sort of hate Glee 'cause the writing/characterization is so terrible. But I suppose it gets points for all the gay lulz.

Watched it all! I thought it was pretty good though they messed up a few of my favourite relationships/characters. And the series finale... >.>

'The New Normal' starting this fall looks pretty promising!

Happy Endings is also a good one.

Yeah! The trailer looked good. But I have like zero faith in Ryan Murphy so it could end up being a disappointment lol.

The Real L Word is okay, it's a reality spin off of The L Word so it follows around like 4 -5 lesbians and their girlfriends/wives. The 3rd season is on right now, I've watched the first and second back in the day when I had HBO

I agree that grey's and modern family are good! I can't wait for the new season of MF and grey's too I guess...I didn't like that finale

Also maybe Will and Grace? That's like the one of the first sitcoms to have gay characters (i think)
