Favourite gay couples from fiction?

[AdrianMarcus]

In TV and movies I liked the relationship between Robet Deniro's character and the man in his apartment complex Flawless. It's not a romantic one, so they aren't a couple, but I did like they way his shift in attitude was portrayed because I hope my parents have a similar response and eventually decide to accept me once I tell them.

I didn't like the characters in Modern Family. I don't know why, but something about the gay couple in Modern Family bothered me. I was glad to see a gay couple portrayed on TV but in some ways it felt like a spoof, but maybe it was just me?

I agree with the buffy characters though. I remember that show, which probably just dated me , but I do remember being happy to see that. I didn't like the fact that willow had been perfectly straight before. This is probably also my bias from growing up in the South where people still think you get turned gay. I prefer characters that have always known they were gay, I don't mind characters that are legitimately bi. I do believe sexuality is a spectrum, but in TV I haven't see that many gay couples I really like. Not even the tru-blood gay couple, but my friend will kill me for that if he reads this, but I didn't like them, sorry.

sorry, one more thing: there was a gay 'couple' in this one obscure British series I bought out of desperation when I was looking for things to watch and had no cable. Anyway, there was a romantic episode where the main character encountered the Cpt. From WW I whose identity he had stolen, they meet, fall in love, there is the kiss, and then he vanishes through a portal.

The series was horrible, horrible, horrible, but that one episode was done nicely. I think it was called Torchwood. It was about a paranormal investigation organization underneath the streets of somewhere in the UK. Sorry I can't remember the details, but I am 98% sure it was called Torchwood.

I tried to think of other gay couples I liked in TV and movies, but I can't think of any and I have been thinking for a really long time.

I really liked the couple in Jodi Picoults novel "Sing You Home". Vanessa and Zoe. I've read/watched etc dozens of lesbian/gay couple stories but this one really hit me. I've already read the book about 5 times from cover to cover.

In the fifties, you could tell the difference between boys and girls because of nude showers on the Mickey Mouse Club Show. God bless Walt Disney. He knew that boys were horny for each other.

what ? 0___o

I havent read a book in a LOOOOOOONG time. The last book I read was "Wicked".

But when I got out of high school, back in the 1980's, I came across a couple of books by Patricia Nell Warren......

The Front Runner


and

The Fancy Dancer



Both are excellent books, but I perferred The Fancy Dancer to The Front Runner.
The two guys in The Fancy Dancer are the epitamy of their characters, but so much more.
The writer gave a lot of feeling to these characters, but held back on any real emotions they had.
I also love the fact that they were two men from completely different "worlds", but found a way to become one, despite thier differences.

And another reason I like PNW's books, is that they arent pornos on paper, they are stories with emotional attachments and real human feeling.

Everything I tried reading since has been nothing but a let down.....sex, sex, sex.....no emotion, no human attachment.

Well, there was this one fantasy book, it was freeking awesome. No sex in it what so ever, nothing but pure emotional attachment.....I cried through the whole freeking book! Wish I could remember the name of it.

Haruka and Michiru

Zoicite and Malachite

Both from Sailor Moon cartoon !!!

I enjoyed the homo eroticism between Merlin and Arthur. Arthur's dying scene was so tender I couldn't believe they didn't kiss

I agree with you, Aquarian Dragon... those two surely made the best bromance types...

Oh, I didn't remember Callie and Arziona. And I find them very hot!!!

to add to what i said before about willow and tara from buffy ~
i know a lot of people hated willow and kennedy together (mostly because kennedy was tara's complete opposite , and the fact that she was in a relationship with willow at all just pointed out how tara had been killed off)
buuut if you look at the relationships in the final season of buffy the vampire slayer

buffy and spike - ends in the last episode due to spike exploding (totally makes sense in context)

faith and robin - was pretty much a one night stand anyway . it gets left pretty ambiguous

xander and anya - ended in the last season , but any hope of them getting back together was completely destroyed by her getting slightly cut in half

willow and kennedy - the only relationship to survive the series is a relationship between two women . no matter how annoying kennedy was , this totally breaks the cliche that all lesbian relationships on tv must end by one dying or one going insane ...

i thought that was pretty cool
