Caution! Spoilers Ahead.
Everyone knows that LGBT+ couples don’t get enough representation on screen. Because they’re so few and far between, it’s even harder to find a healthy queer relationship that’s – hopefully – endgame. If you’re looking to catch up on some current TV, here are some queer couples in healthy relationships that you won’t want to miss:
1. Connor Walsh and Oliver Hampton – Coliver – How to Get Away with Murder
Connor and Oliver might honestly be the best couple on television right now. We’ve seen Connor develop from a “I don’t do boyfriends” kind of guy to head-over-heels for Oliver. They’ve stuck by each other through HIV, their crazy families, different murders and crimes. We’ve finally made it to church and they have a little bit of normalcy, which is honestly the best we can get in this show. Their love truly knows no bounds. At this point, they would probably die for each other, but since that’s definitely possible in HTGAWM, we won’t push it that far.
2. Waverly Earp and Nicole Haught – WayHaught – Wynonna Earp
Nicole and Waverly had chemistry from their very first scene. From what I hear, we’ve been promised endgame and, even though they’ve had ups and downs, at least we know they’ll make it through. If you want a cheesy, wholesome, flirty relationship, WayHaught is the way to go.
3. Levi Schmitt and Nico Kim – Schmico – Grey’s Anatomy
Before Season 15 began, they announced Alex Landi (Kim) would star in this season of Grey’s Anatomy as the first openly gay male surgeon on the show. Many fans pointed out that in order to explore a gay storyline, they would need two gay male surgeons. Thankfully, Schmitt is joining him in this storyline – and now we have Schmico. Additionally, Schmitt’s actor Jake Borelli recently came out to the public, which adds to the authenticity of the representation. In true Grey’s Anatomy fashion, their identities have been completely naturalized. We’re in the beginning of this relationship and it’s already too pure to handle.
4. Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru – Deanoru – Marvel’s Runaways
Queer teenage superheroes? Marvel’s first on-screen gay superhero kiss? We’re here for it. Hulu’s new show at first teased Karolina and Chase Stein, but then led into this sweet relationship between Nico and Karolina. Outwardly they’re opposites, but they grew up together and know each other so well that it just fits. With only ten episodes, there’s not a lot to catch up on and we’re still in the beginnings of their sweet relationship.
5. Raymond Holt and Kevin Cozner – Brooklyn 99
We might not see enough of Kevin, but they still have the best relationship. They’re unapologetic and they both accept each other’s personalities with no qualms whatsoever. Kevin does not like cops very much due to the discrimination that Captain Holt has faced. Yet, he respects Captain Holt’s career and adheres without complaint to the drastic safety measures that are sometimes necessary.
