8 FEEL-GOOD QUEER SHOWS TO ADD TO YOUR PRIDE MONTH BINGE-LIST ASAP

Pride Month watchlists can get heavy fast, and listen, there is a time and place for the emotionally devastating canon. But sometimes you want something lighter: the career chaos, the first crush, the messy ex, the found family, the romantic decision everyone saw going left from jump.

The Bold Type is a glossy workplace dramedy about three best friends working at a women’s magazine, and Kat Edison’s bisexuality arc gives the show some of its best emotional material. Kat is bold, impulsive, stylish, politically engaged, and frequently convinced she can fix her entire life with one dramatic decision.


Stream on: Netflix



First Kill is a teen supernatural romance about Calliope Burns, a Black monster hunter, and Juliette Fairmont, the vampire she definitely should not be falling for. The show is full of sapphic goodness, family secrets, monster drama, and the kind of forbidden romance that'll definitely make you swoon. It's campy, sexy, and very bingeable.


Stream on: Hulu



The Fosters centers Stef and Lena Adams Foster, an interracial lesbian couple raising a blended family of biological, adopted, and foster children.

While A League of Their Own was canceled far too early, even one season was enough for it to make an impact. Inspired by the 1992 film of the same name, the series follows World War II-era women’s baseball teams and leans all the way into the gayness of the players in the league. Max Chapman’s storyline gives the show its most tender arc, as she fights for her place in baseball while also coming into herself, her desires, and the world waiting beyond the life everyone expected her to live.


Stream on: Netflix



Spike Lee’s Netflix reimagining of She’s Gotta Have It centers Nola Darling, a pansexual Black artist in Brooklyn balancing her lovers, her art, her friendships, and her need to define herself on her own terms.

Stream on: BET+



Lena Waithe’s Twenties follows Hattie, a masculine-presenting queer Black writer trying to break into Hollywood while juggling friendship, romance, and a career that refuses to move at the speed of her delusion.
