Your favorite lesbian or gay couple in TV / movies

[MillieDynamite]

On Wint and Kid, the way they are portrayed is considered offensive now. I can understand that, as they were sadistic and humorous. However, I take exception to this: we can be naughty or nice, good or bad, evil or saintly, and being portrayed as funny or evil as any straight individual isn't a slight. It's the real world. The way they were written in the book was a sign of the 1950s and the massive homophobic views of the time.

Okay, getting off the soap box now.

Adel Haenel and Noemie Merlant in Portrait of a Lady on Fire - knock yourselves out, breath-takingly, achingly beautiful.

One of my all time favorites

 

[lavendersilk]

Q and Eliot (The Magicians)

Bo and Lauren (Lost Girl) (and as an aside, I still have a crush on Kenzi)

Cosima and Delphine (Orphan Black)

Annalise, Nathan and Gabriel (The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself)

I stopped watching Magicians after season... I'm going to have to revisit.

May be my age, but I always had to pair people together even though they weren't necessarily written as a couple. Thank god for fanfiction.

I am thrilled there are finally more queer storylines now. Because you had to settle for a little queer coding. Or make it up. There are a few gems though...


There is a 1969 movie called "Gay Deceivers" that is pretty outdated, a farce on purpose but still ahead of it's time.

The actor on the right , Michael Greer was gay in real life and was able to convince the screenwriter and director to make a couple of changes to not be so negative towards homosexuals.

I'm not sure if it qualifies, exactly, but the scene between Tenoch and Julio at the end of Y Tu Mama Tambien was powerful, erotic, and unexpected.

I'm going to watch that film for the first time this weekend.

 

[SimonDoom]

I'm going to watch that film for the first time this weekend.

I recommend it. It's an excellent film. Sad, moving, and highly erotic, although not in a conventional way. I fell in lust with Maribel Verdu. She was also in Pan's Labyrinth, another great film, but not at all erotic!

Pan's Labyrinth is one of my favorite films.

Noho Hank/Cristobal from Barry

 

[AchtungNight]

Surprised no one has mentioned Jonathan & Andrew from Buffy yet. Or the more famous Willow & Tara or Willow & Kennedy.

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

Lesbians and gay men, whatever shall they think of next!

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

This is such a wholesome thread. I love it.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Seeing as no-one's mentioned them yet, Willow and Tara from Buffy (despite the ending), not to mention Andrew, Spike, Faith and all the other subtext. (Edit: cross-post!)

Vince and Stuart Alan Jones (and Nathan) from the original Queer as Folk

Ferdy and Lenny from This Life

Bow's dads in She-Ra (and all the Catra/Entrapta/She-Ra potential...)

And the wee lesbian Clare on Derry Girls and her first kiss...

 

[soflabbwlvr]

Villanelle and Eve

 

[AchtungNight]

Don’t forget the most blatant same gender couple on She-Ra. Netossa & Spinerella. [yowls]

 

[EmilyMiller]

Surprised no one has mentioned Jonathan & Andrew from Buffy yet. Or the more famous Willow & Tara or Willow & Kennedy.

Kennedy? Ack!

Gotta be Willow and Tara. They did so much for making lesbian relationships normal in the mainstream. The show was one of the most watched TV shows of the time, and it showed a previously straight character discover her sexuality in a really positive way, growing Tara's character slowly and carefully. And their relationship was treated in exactly the same way as any other relationship on the show. It wasn't put on a pedestal as too perfect. It had flaws and arguments and break-ups...just like the straight relationships on the show. It showed lesbian relationships as what they really are - normal!

IN a completely different media (comic books) - Midnighter and Apollo. Basically Midnighter is like Batman. Apollo is like Superman. They're married and have an adopted daughter. They have wonderful tender moments together...then go off and kill anyone who threatens Earth and/or their daughter.
