Carol and Susan in Friends. Emily and Naomi in Skins.The cast of Glee. This was the extent of my exposure to LGBTQIA characters on TV during my formative years.There is now an abundance of queer fictional babes represented onscreen: it’s no longer such an issue of quantity (though I would still like more), it’s now about quality and consistency. While we have many LGBTQIA characters to root for, they are often either killed off (yes, I’m looking at you, Killing Eve) or the shows which feature them are prematurely cancelled.
