Best shows with gay characters

I'm watching all of these immediately. The representation is so natural in this comedy. I can't recommend this show enough. I'll forever be heartbroken we won't get a third season.

The stereotypical white cis gay who popped up in a recurring capacity for comedic effect? Or if they were the central character, their sexuality would be downplayed and scenes of intimacy would be non-existent? No shade to some of these characters of course, because a lot of them paved the way for the positive queer representation we see today. Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Keir Gilchrist, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Amy Okunda, Michael Rapaport.
