In the last few years, television has gotten better at including LGBTQ characters, but its representation of gay culture is still rather limited. While some shows—like Difficult People, Happy Endings, and The Fosters—reveal an understanding of the way queer people live now, others seem content to repeat outdated stereotypes and to obsess about gay men’s sexual types and lesbians’ use of U-Haul as a verb.

Campy gay web series Where The Bears Are has just released a new trailer for its fifth season, promising plenty of sex, drama and mystery.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, season 5 sees the bears head to Palm Springs for what at first promises to be a romantic honeymoon but then devolves into drama, murder and mystery. In other words, exactly what you’d expect from a show that describes itself as a furry gay mash-up of Murder, She Wrote and The Golden Girls.

When Looking premiered back in 2014, you could say I found it politically troubling. Those issues faded somewhat in season two; but by then, I had decided that politics aside, the earnest tone and gauzy approach of director Andrew Haigh and writer Michael Lannan just weren’t for me. If you like misty shots of the San Francisco skyline and close-ups of Jonathan Groff’s variations on a pained smile, you may enjoy Looking: The Movie, the show’s feature-length finale airing Saturday on HBO.

If ever there’s one area where Netflix can comfortably beat its more traditional TV-based competitors, it’s in the representation it gives to LGBT characters.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
As if it weren’t enough that the streaming giant’s catalogue is crammed with an array of LGBT films and television shows, both recent and classic, Netflix’s original content is also rife with characters that represent various aspects of the queer spectrum. From the outrageous, flamboyant Titus Andromedon in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, to the intense relationship between Piper and Alex in Orange Is the New Black, to the entire main cast of Sense8, Netflix and its creators have committed to an array of depictions of LGBT people, both comical and serious. We highlight nine series by Netflix that showcase LGBT characters.
