For Pride Month, it's a good time to talk about our favorite LGBT couples on tv and movies (representation is important!). What are your favorites?

    A few of mine:

    1. Brokeback Mountain – a heartbreaking love story between two repressed men. I will always be salty that Heath Ledger didn't win Best Actor and this didn't win Best Picture.

    2. Rope – Alfred Hitchcock's film starred two gay actors (John Dall and Farley Granger) in a gay relationship. Only Hitch could have gotten away with this in 1948.

    3. Rebel Without a Cause – James Dean and Sal Mineo. There is a strong homoerotic subtext between Jim and Plato.

    4. Farewell My Concubine – two dan in Chinese opera have a lifelong bond. Starring Leslie Cheung and Zhang Fenyi. Watch this film. It's incredible.

    5. Heavenly Creatures – Kate Winslet's breakout, about two teens who fall in love and commit murder.

    6. Rent – Jonathan Larson's musical had queer representation in Angel and Collins AND Maureen and Joanne.

    7. Talented Mr. Ripley – a strong homoerotic subtext. The best work Matt Damon and Jude Law ever did, hands down.

    8. Moonlight – a black queer romance was a critically acclaimed success in 2016. It won Best Picture. Brokeback walked so Moonlight could run.

    9. The Favourite – a love triangle between Queen Anne and her two ladies in waiting. Excellent costume drama, and Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone is magnificent.

    10. Succession – Tom and Greg count and you cannot convince me otherwise. Tom would castrate Greg and marry him in a heartbeat.

    11. Queen Charlotte – Brimsley and Reynolds almost stole the show from the leads with their sweet, touching love story.

    12. Heartstopper – adorable gay romance between two rugby players in a British boarding school.

    13. Fellow Travelers – omg. The chemistry between Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey is amazing. Incredible series.

    14. The Pitt – the romance between Garcia and Santos is the rare romance in this rather clinical show.

    15. Ponies – Twila and Ivanna have a Cold War, cloaks-and-daggers romance. Love them and everyone should watch Ponies!

    16. Heated Rivalry – come on, you knew I had to. Ilya and Shane have a secret romance while being rivals in hockey. Epic chemistry between the leads, , this series is amazing.

    17. Severance – Severance is wrongly promoted. It's promoted as this weird sci-fi series, but it's really a love story. Burt and Irving are exhibit A.
