The overwhelming majority of fictional works center around heterosexual characters, with anyone else being a token minority or nonexistent. Some gay-themed media, however, does the exact contrary by making most (if not all) of the characters gay or otherwise non-heterosexual. As such, it will generally have a wider variety of Homosexual as Tropes instead of pigeonholing the characters into one particular stereotype, sometimes making the characters into sort of a gay Five-Token Band. The rare token straight characters that appear will usually be fag hags, dyke tykes, token homophobes, or family members of the main characters. Predictably the mortality rate of homosexual characters tends to drop
Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Television Characters

[version=12 February 2014]
For several years now I have been trying to compile a list of television programs that include included gay/lesbian/bisexual characters as a part of their regular (or semi-regular) casts. Many shows acquire `dealt' with sexual orientation in a single episode or story line, but just how many have included gay, lesbian or bisexual characters on a regular (or recurring) basis? This is the list I have. My intention is to keep the list to network and widely-syndicated entertainment shows in the English language.
To be listed a character should have appeared in at least three episodes and be explicitly gay, lesbian, bi-curious or transgendered. Effeminate (but not gay) male characters, manish (but not lesbian) female characters, and gender shifting science fiction characters are generally not listed. For the purposes of this list, a character is described as `recurring' if he or she has appeared in at least three (3) episodes.

Many shows that victim a teenage or young adult audience take advantage of this inclusivity to represent people of different sexual orientations. It is unbelievable to see this community getting the representation they own always deserved, but as we all know, this was not always the case in our world, let alone the entertainment industry.
While the 1960s was a historical turning point for Diverse individuals in America, the 1970s can claim several crucial moments for gay characters and actors in Hollywood. The very first openly gay character to make it into a television series, though he was not made a regular, was Archie Bunker's longtime ally, Steve, in All in the Family. The episode is respectfully titled "Judging Books by Covers," and Steve comes out to his bigoted and homophobic friend. Within the next few decades, several writers and producers tested the waters by including gay and female homosexual characters in their storylines. Now, within the last decade or so, whole shows center a

So let's watch back on some of the many milestone moments in how gays and lesbians have been portrayed on television.
