TV & Film Awesome shows with LGBT characters!

What are some of your favorite shows/movies or other media with LGBT characters? I didn't have much exposure growing up and was pretty sheltered from everything, though I knew full well my identity at a young age. As a bi person I've been trying to consume more media with characters I can relate to now that I have the freedom to do so. So far some of my favorites are "The Owl House" (main character is bi, her love interest is a lesbian, and there are other kinds of queer characters throughout the show) and "Good Omens" (one of the protagonists is *maybe* gay? and has feelings for his best friend, there is no confirmed relationship yet in the show! Hopefully in the next season.) I'd like to know what kinds of media y'all love that have LGBT characters, any recommendations are appreciated. They don't have to be the main characters, even side characters is fine! Any kind of representation is cool. I do love cartoons, fantasy, sci-fi, and all kinds of Indie themes.

i really like yellowjackets but it is rated tv-ma for a reason! pretty bloody and mature sometimes but if that’s your thing its a really good show!

it’s about a girls’ high school soccer team whose plane crashes in the canadian wilderness during their flight to nationals. it follows both them in the wilderness and their adult lives while they try and fix themselves, and its also got quite a few queer characters (one of the main characters is a black lesbian politician, and her plotline is really interesting, and there’s a slightly less important character who has some plots about being a gay man in the 90s and loving and losing and regret. and it’s really good)

also brokeback mountain but that one’s also for an older viewer base haha. but gay cowboys !!
