10 Willow and Tara (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
Willow and Tara's relationship on Buffy These are in no particular order, but it is a list of my favourite homosexual couples to have been on television in the last decade or so. QUEER AS FOLK USA [Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor] QAF chronicles the lives of five gay men; Michael Novoty, Emmett Honeycutt, Ted Schmidt, Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor (and a lesbian couple; Lindsey Peterson and Melaine Marcus). It premiered in 2000 on Showtime with the last episode aired in 2005 lasting a successful five seasons. Years ago I once said Brian and Justin had the best on-screen chemistry I had ever seen in the drama….even now that comment remains valid. I was only ten…or eleven when I first watched the pilot episode of Queer as Folk and was introduced to gay Pittsburgh and the five male cast characters; Michael Novotny- The male child next door best friend; Emmett Honeycutt- the out-proud extravagant queen; Ted Schmidt- the lifeless accountant and Brian Kinney- the narcissistic, egotistic, heterophobe that lived his life with no regrets. The fifth was high school senior Justin Taylor. For five years the series followed the turbulent rollercoaster that was Brian and Justin’s connection – from the origin under t I posted awhile ago about gay couples in tv shows and what those shows were about, but I didn't announce my personal viewpoints on those pairings and their storylines so I consideration I do it now.

And the thing is...they're all appropriate names, but they're not all he is. MM: What is it you observe in Brendan? SH: Well as a boss, he’s alright, yeah. MM: Yeah, don’t make the mistake of thinking I’m stupid. I want the valid story. Now. SH: Cos he’s different… when he’s on his own. MM: Like? SH: Loyal… and dead protective Across many genres, LGBTQ inclusion has risen steadily; most importantly, the love stories told only continue to become more mainstream and filled with joy. Not every fate on this list is a excellent one, and some conclude tragically, but each story is rooted in captivating performances and some of the most romantic moments ever to grace the small screen. This is a rerun of a list we ran on a different site, updated with some couples we missed last year, new couples that we just met, and new blurbs for currently running TV shows.

They certainly make for a compelling and fascinating couple, though they don’t truly admit their desire until near the very finish, after which Villanelle ends up dying (thus buying into the “bury your gays trope”).
