When I watch around the TV landscape of recent years I feel quite happy that there are so many shows right now characterizing LGBTQIA+ people and issues, and that they are no longer just small storylines of side characters but they&#;ve also change into the center of attention. When I grew up the only show there was Queer As Folk and not much else in the decades after, so no matter if you liked it or not, it was a must-watch and highlight for gay guys at the time.

To see a fully gay show as the first thing on the main page of the ARD Mediathek (German&#;s major public TV channel) felt really good today, I have to say. I was half expecting they would hide it somewhere in the archive and you would have to search for it, but no, it&#;s pretty in your face. Correct me if I&#;m wrong, but I think All You Need really is the first German TV present exclusively dealing with male lover men as the main characters and getting such a prime spot. And I think the display really deserves to be put in the lim

The Problem With Overcompensating

Watching all eight episodes of Overcompensating—the new Amazon Prime Video comedy drama created by and starring social media star Benito Skinner—several questions crossed my mind. For instance: When exactly is this supposed to be set? We’re told right away that Skinner’s nature Benny, a closeted lgbtq+ college freshman, had his sexual awakening watching a loincloth-clad Brendan Fraser swing through the trees in George of the Jungle (), and that he’s around 9 in the year when Britney Spears’ “Lucky” was still in the countdown. By my math, that should express Benny is heading off to college around Yet at one point in the show, Charli XCX—who is, along with Jonah Hill, among the series’ executive producers—shows up to inexplicably perform at this fictional college, singing songs that she released in , , and That would make Overcompensating … not a show that takes place today? But also not a specifically millennial period piece? It’s all very puzzling.

The bigger and more profound doubt, though, is not about Overcompensating’s time period,

It&#;s a new dawn it&#;s a recent year and we&#;re feeling a tad bit closer to fine about what&#;s coming up with lesbian, queer, multi-attracted and/or trans characters on our television sets — mostly the return of so many shows we&#;ve been missing since So let&#;s get into it!

Lesbians are still few and far between on television. And while the diversity of queer, female experiences is far from creature comprehensively captured on TV screens, there are a handful of great lesbian shows—even more so in recent years—pushing representation forward. Though once a rare televised species, lady-loving ladies now command sitcoms, teen comedies, family dramas, cop procedurals, reality series, period pieces, and more genres.

Could there more lesbians on TV? Of course! But now there is a (limited, but decent) plethora of binge-worthy shows that depict great representation of lesbian and bisexual women, plus mythically trendy lesbian bars that leave real-life sapphics salivating.

Queer content, of course, isn’t just for queer people. Embracing fully developed, complicated, lovable (and sometimes unlikable) queer characters is also an important part of being an ally. When there are still so rare LGBTQ+ characters on TV, sometimes we have to seek out queer media (including books and movies, too).
