lesbian tv shows

As Friends celebrates its 20th anniversary we remember those times it was lesbian when nothing else was.

Why wouldn't you want to spread your lesbian wings and binge watch all the lesbian cinema that's been created?

Here's SheWired's round-up of fall TV shows for the lesbian-leaning girl. Look forward to a lesbian cheerleader on Hellcats, tough girl kicking ass on Nikita, mystery shrouded in obfuscation in The Event, The L Word stars Rose Rollins, Laurel Holloman and Jennifer Beals all back on the small screen, Glee's Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester torturing the glee club, Lea Michele's Rachel Berry as diva-like as ever and much more!

Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mithchell and Glee's Naya Rivera did attend the Much Music Awards in Toronto this weekend, but to the dismay of fan girls worldwide, they were not together. Still, after posing for some super sexy shots on the carpet, Shay and Naya, who play two of the most iconic lesbian TV characters on their respective shows, did pose together for a snapshot that Shay posted to her Instagram! Let the fan fiction begin. But first, here they are on the carpet.

It's been 10 years since The L Word premiered on Showtime on Jan. 18, 2004, and so much has changed since then. 

Because the LGBT TV is the best TV.

While SheWired covers American and Canadian series that feature lesbian characters, we’re not always privvie to the gay ladies of UK television. But UK-based writer Steph Mann has devised a quick and handy list of the UKs five must-watch, Netflix, Hulu or YouTube shows with lesbians.

According to the Florida Family Association, a conservative political organization led by David Caton, the girls of Pretty Little Liars are a group of hot, fashionista lesbians poisoning the minds of oh-so-impressionable thirteen-year-old girls one girl-on-girl make-out session at a time.

We adore CSI’s Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), Law and Order: SVU’s Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), and Prime Suspect’s Jane (both Maria Bello and Helen Mirren for the U.S. and U.K. versions respectively). But there are a few female cops of bygone eras (and one new hotshot we had to include) that deserve our props, too.

Lesbian mom K. Pearson Brown ponders where the good gay moms are on television. We do have some real-life celebrity lesbian moms who are terrific role models like Jodie, Rosie, Melissa and Cynthia Nixon, but when it comes to those powerful characters of the serial dramas that we tune into each week, I yearn for a gay version of Rosanne who shows what motherhood is really like.  

Check out this new clip from the movie. Matarazzo and a few other legendary gay icons, including John Waters and Leslie Jordan, all appear in the new flick.
