10 Gay Watches (TV Shows)

Padma (she/her) 

For me, starting a television show is a big deal. If I’m going to commit my time and energy to caring about characters and reflecting on their decisions, I need it to be good. I also cannot watch shows that show no diversity, and I often get bored very easily. I don’t mean to say that I can’t care about characters that are different from me, but I find that it adds another interesting layer of depth and reality when shows include characters that are POC and/or queer. It’s even better when these characters aren’t pushed off into a B story, with such little screen time that their presence almost doesn’t matter. So, here is a masterlist of TV shows that include main characters who are queer!

Alibi, or An Abandoned Road

Elessar Younglove (they/fae) 

​I wrote this song when I was 17 years old. Below is a picture of me at that time. The song is a bit sad as, when I wrote it, I was struggling with my emotions and mental health, not to mention the fact that I was closeted while attending a Catholic high school. Now, this song shows me my strength and how far I’ve come. It feels right for it to be the final creative piece I submit to “The Michigan Gayly.” Thank you all.

The pleasure of the look

Atticus Spicer (they/he) 

soft jaw, 
         plum
    and gentle,
empress,
my coherence leaves
    and gaze follows behind, 
limp and          ------ dragged 
by a voyeurist shame

More Than a Daydream

Elessar Younglove (they/fae) 

Our foundation was sturdy
Compiled of mutual interests
Weeks of dinner date and movies
When I realize I trusted your intent 
And more than trust there was fondness and joy
A beautiful girl and a happy not quite boy

Growing to Love What They Called a Sin

Elessar Younglove (they/fae)

I want to say I love 
​Like a needle through my skin 
I want to say I love you 
In the way Adam first tasted sin 
I adore you and it seems a waste
To say something so beautiful 
In such a humble place
