(This is also a complete side tangent unrelated to gay rights, but we as a society are sleeping on China Anne McClain (Lightning). A handsome secret agent and his team of LGBTQ superspies embark on extraordinary. Thunder is kicking ass with her titular father as a meteorological crime-fighting ensemble, and when she’s off duty she’s hanging out with her shapeshifting girlfriend. Q-FORCE, the first queer spy division, lands September 2 on Netflix. Enter Nafessa Williams as Anissa Pierce, aka Thunder, the first Black lesbian superhero to make it to screen, because sorry to the Chrises, but not all superheroes are straight white guys. The CW, however, is having none of this in their DC shows, and specifically this Black-lead show helmed by Prison Break’s Cress Williams.
#GAY ANIME SHOWS ON NETFLIX 2021 SERIES#
A reboot of the early 2000s series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Queer Eye features experts. So like, just go watch the show, OK?įor the superhero fans out there, while queers with superpowers may splash about on the comic book pages, they rarely make it to screen (just remember how long it took for gays to make it into the MCU and in what a meager role it was). Queer Eye (2018present) Netflix's most successful reality television series just keeps on going. Also Maeve (Emma Mackey, soon to be in Death on the Nile) is not gay but is a badass. Otis’s friendship with his gay bestie Eric (the LUMINOUS Ncuti Gatwa who should be the lead of at least 15 shows by now) is a beautiful depiction of allyship, and Eric’s relationship with Rahim (Sami Outalbali) in Season 2 is the freaking cutest. The British dramedy centers on Otis (Asa Butterfield, aka the boy in Hugo), a high school student who decides to make some extra cash working as a sex therapist for his fellow classmates, as his mom (played by The Crown’s ibble dibbleing Margaret Thatcher, Gillian Anderson) is an actual sex therapist.īetter than a thousand YouTube tutorials or Cosmo articles, this show dives into all of the nooks and crannies of sex, highlighting homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, douching, scissoring, masturbation, fellatio, crossdressing, erotica, roleplay, fetishes, vaginas with teeth, and yes, even heterosexuality (boring, I know). Okay, we’re starting with Sex Education, because it is my favorite show on this list (perhaps currently on TV) and if you get nothing else from this list it should be WATCH SEX EDUCATION.
