The Absolute Most Lesbian Amazon Prime Video First TV Shows:
A League Of Their Own
2022 // 1 Seasons // 8 Episodes
Not only is this program the gayest Amazon Prime video TV show, it’s one of the gayest TV shows ever. Bringing gay narratives to the forefront of a story in which they were once erased, the A League of Their Own TV display wedged into our hearts with fists full of desire, sportsmanship and a record number of very hot gay characters, almost entirely played by very hot queer actors. If you wanna know more, we’ve luckily written ten billion articles about it, and this review is a good place to
Coffee, TV & Me
Believe it or not, there was a time when evidence LGBTQ+ characters and storylines was prefer searching for a needle in a haystack. Growing up in the 1970s, I’d see the occasional character in a guest see on progressive series like CBS’s All in the Family (remember Beverly LaSalle?) or get ecstatic for a regular character on a show to be openly gay but then see him (at least initially) be portrayed as a stereotype. (I’m talking about ABC’s Soap where in its first season in 1977, Jodie Dallas (Billy Crystal) being gay meant that he also wanted to wear his mother’s clothes. *sigh*)
But hitting on those stereotypes was probably the easiest way to fetch these stories on the air in the first place and, thankfully, over time those characterizations were broken down and replaced with more realisitic portrayals of queer animation. Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s had to happen for a lot of those less-than-happy stories to be told.
For example, An Adv Frost was a 1985 TV feature that told the story of a young gay guy with AIDS (Aidan Quinn) who comes home to disseminate his life with his parents (Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara). The great news is that aud
You know what they say — April flowers bring May television shows with lesbian, bisexual and queer women and/or trans characters. But do they? Well, in May of 2025 I would actually say, “yeah, actually, they kinda do.” There’s a lot to be stoked about this month, so let’s get into it!

Bet: Season One // May 15
Netflix’s live-action (and English-language) adaptation of the manga series Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler finds a new learner Yumeko at a gambling-focused elite boarding school full of sinister children, intent on carrying out a secret mission. There’s a lot of homoeroticism in the series, as well as two main characters, RiRi and Mary, who are queer.
Big Mouth: Season 8 // May 23
In its final season, this queer-inclusive animated series will see its kids “step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to come because they have each other.” Queer actor Cynthia Erivo joins the voice cast playing the role of “Missy’s Vagina.” Ayo Edebiri plays Missy. SO that will be neat!

The Problem With Overcompensating
Watching all eight episodes of Overcompensating—the new Amazon Prime Video comedy drama created by and starring social media star Benito Skinner—several questions crossed my mind. For instance: When exactly is this supposed to be set? We’re told right away that Skinner’s nature Benny, a closeted male lover college freshman, had his sexual awakening watching a loincloth-clad Brendan Fraser swing through the trees in George of the Jungle (1997), and that he’s around 9 in the year 2000 when Britney Spears’ “Lucky” was still in the countdown. By my math, that should mean Benny is heading off to college around 2010. Yet at one point in the demonstrate , Charli XCX—who is, along with Jonah Hill, among the series’ executive producers—shows up to inexplicably complete at this fictional college, singing songs that she released in 2012, 2014, and 2017. That would make Overcompensating … not a show that takes place today? But also not a specifically millennial period piece? It’s all very puzzling.
The bigger and more profound question, though, is not about Overcompensating’s time period, but about its core: Who, exactly, is this for? The show follows Benny,
