Timeout's Best Classic LGBTQIA+ TV Shows You Need to Watch

"Representation matters. In more recent times, we've witnessed an explosion of queer representation on our screens. There's the ever-churning engine of RuPaul's Drag Race turning out new seasons and spin-offs at a dizzying rate, incredible series like Pose bringing authentic trans POC stories to the screen, and It's a Sin finding the joy and heartbreak in queer '80s London. Then there's children's show Steven Universe, a delightful animated adventure featuring a race of lesbian space rock aliens. We're also seeing more diversity in LGBTQIA+ characters, including those involved in mainstream shows. While bingeing away on TV shows can be a source of entertainment and escapism, when they reflect back our own identities, or the identities of people we love, or even those we have never heard of – it can be an incredibly enlightening experience. We've rounded up some of the best classic queer television shows of the past to put on your watch list." - timeout.com/sydney
