With Gillian Anderson’s Sex Education landing on Netflix, it feels like the perfect time to gather our TV Team and talk about sex on TV, specifically queer sex on TV, and its evolution over these many years.

What if kissing instead of stabbing?

It’s no accident that one of the first major lesbian relationships in television history began in an episode where no one was able to talk.

“The first time I left my mom in the county jail, the only person more surprised than her was me.”

Here’s part two of the first round of QUEER KISSING MARCH MADNESS!

Go forth and wreak havoc, my lil vixens!

Never before have my distaste for a show and love for its cast been so at odds.

“Jessi showed me that it was cool to focus on my ambitions and to form deep relationships with other girls instead of being boy-obsessed.”

Ten years ago, Doctor Who was the first show to let me see myself, and to feel seen; when I felt entirely alone, it showed me a universe waiting for me.

Buffy is a queer rite of passage. Everybody’s got a Buffy story. These are some of ours.

We talked to One Day at a Time writers, Becky Mann and Michelle Badillo, about gay representation on TV, how Autostraddle came to be in the script, their queer TV roots, what kind of LGBT stories are missing from TV and what’s in store for Elena in a potential next season.

Autostraddle walks you through the entire history of trans female characters on American television from 1965-2015.

We’ve finally arrived at a place where we have enough queer characters on TV to fight about them. What a time to be alive!

We’ve come so far since same-sex kisses on television only happened once in a show’s entire run, rarely involved lesbian or bisexual characters and generally were obscured by somebody’s hair!

Orange Is the New Black, The Fosters, Sense8, Pretty Little Liars, Glee, and more!

“I truly believe in story, I think the stories we see and the ones we choose to engage with are one of life’s most vital elements, it’s right up there with food and shelter. This has always been true.”

Season two is almost here. It’s time to ready your heart for the drama bombs.

“Stahma Tarr has undergone one of the most remarkable patriarchy-smashing story arcs I’ve ever seen, just a straight up Squib-to-Slytherin transformation that actually all started when she fell in love with another woman.”

If we had a Time-Turner, this list would be 1,000 stories long.

Faberry and Brittana and Swan Queen and Xena and Janeway and Korrasami, oh my!
