Gay shows on prime
You know what they say — April flowers bring May television shows with lesbian, bisexual and queer women and/or trans characters. But do they? Good, in May of 2025 I would actually say, “yeah, actually, they kinda do.” There’s a lot to be stoked about this month, so let’s get into it!

Bet: Season One // May 15
Netflix’s live-action (and English-language) adaptation of the manga series Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler finds a novel student Yumeko at a gambling-focused elite boarding school packed of evil children, intent on carrying out a covert mission. There’s a lot of homoeroticism in the series, as well as two main characters, RiRi and Mary, who are queer.
Big Mouth: Season 8 // May 23
In its closing season, this queer-inclusive animated series will see its kids “step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to show up because they hold each other.” Gay actor Cynthia Erivo joins the voice cast playing the role of “Missy’s Vagina.” Ayo Edebiri plays Missy. SO that will be neat!

What TV shows with lesbian, pansexual and queer women and transsexual characters are on Amazon Prime Video? What a good interrogate you may have typed into your computer browser, looking for Prime Video queer television programs with lesbian storylines and/or Diverse themes and characters!
While various television shows with queer female and/or trans characters rotate in and out of the Prime Video library, content produced by Prime Video stays there forever and is mostly available worldwide, and that’s what we’re focusing on with today’s list.
The Absolute Most Lesbian Amazon Prime Video First TV Shows:
A League Of Their Own
2022 // 1 Seasons // 8 Episodes
Not only is this program the gayest Amazon Prime video TV show, it’s one of the gayest TV shows ever. Bringing queer narratives to the forefront of a story in which they were once erased, the A League of Their Own TV show wedged into our hearts with fists full of hope, sportsmanship and a record number of very hot queer characters, almost entirely played by very hot homosexual actors. If you wanna realize more, we’ve luckily written ten billion articles about it, and this review is a great place to
The Problem With Overcompensating
Watching all eight episodes of Overcompensating—the new Amazon Prime Video comedy drama created by and starring social media star Benito Skinner—several questions crossed my mind. For instance: When exactly is this supposed to be set? We’re told right away that Skinner’s traits Benny, a closeted homosexual college freshman, had his sexual awakening watching a loincloth-clad Brendan Fraser swing through the trees in George of the Jungle (1997), and that he’s around 9 in the year 2000 when Britney Spears’ “Lucky” was still in the countdown. By my math, that should mean Benny is heading off to college around 2010. Yet at one point in the display, Charli XCX—who is, along with Jonah Hill, among the series’ executive producers—shows up to inexplicably accomplish at this fictional college, singing songs that she released in 2012, 2014, and 2017. That would make Overcompensating … not a show that takes place today? But also not a specifically millennial period piece? It’s all very puzzling.
The bigger and more profound question, though, is not about Overcompensating’s time period, but about its core: Who, exactly, is this for? The show follows Benny,
The Best LGBTQ TV Shows and Movies on Amazon Prime
If one were to rank all the majorstreamingservices by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a pretty tough one to pin down.
On the one hand, you have to give credit where credit is due: One of the service’s very first stabs at authentic programming was “Transparent,” which in spin was one of the first shows to star a trans main ethics. That show now has a lot of baggage (the fact that the trans woman at its center was played by a cis man, and the fact that that man — Jeffrey Tambor — was fired after sexual harassment allegations is, put mildly, the worst), but it’s hard to understate its historical significance.
Beyond the thorny topic of “Transparent,” Prime Video does have a nice track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes; in particular, many of their shows focus on homosexual women, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades. In 2023, the streamer dropped a phenomenal limited series retelling of David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers,” starring Rachel Weisz as twin lesbian gynecol
