It’s the year 2026, and while the LGBTQ community is under attack politically and socially, we remain blessed when it comes to queer representation on our TV screens – at least for the time being. Even 20 years ago, we couldn’t have conceived of how accepting the small screen would become, with gays, lesbians, bi, and trans folx appearing not only in series created specifically for them, but hes, shes, theys and thems being included as featured characters in mainstream hit series. We may be living in the Golden Age of queer TV, or we may just be getting started in the era of inclusivity. Either way, join the Great Pop Culture Debate for its 2026 Pride Special as we attempt to name the best LGBTQ TV Series, at least up until 2026.
TV shows discussed: Schitt’s Creek, Heated Rivalry, Queer as Folk (2000), Modern Family, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, The L Word, Trixie Motel, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Torchwood, Heartstopper, Pose, Will & Grace, The Real World, Angels in America, Looking
Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Kevin Dillon, and Victor Manibo as they discuss and debate 16 of the most queer-affirming television series of all time.
For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional queer TV shows that didn’t make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.
