This is also where we can yell about TV shows that were canceled way too soon .

Over the course of TV history, there have been some monumental TV shows that have focused on LGBTQ+ stories. And while they have all been incredible to watch, sadly, there is still a trend where queer characters are killed off for shock value, sometimes even in a series finale.

Named the"Bury Your Gays" TV trope, it usually shows a beloved LGBTQ+ character getting killed off for simply shock value and/or for furthering the story of a straight character. And, a lot of times, the LGBTQ+ character’s death comes after a moment of happiness.

Despite years of shows being called out for using this trope, many still consistently do it, with notable recent examples includingThe 100,Killing Eve, and more.

However, alongside the shows that have missed the mark, there are also countless incredible LGBTQ+–centered shows that give queer characters the happy endings they deserve.

So, here are 21 of my favorites that I recommend all the time:

1.Wynonna Earp

2.Our Flag Means Death

3.Heartstopper

4.Derry Girls

5.Feel Good

6.She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

7.The Magicians

8.One Day at a Time

9.A League of Their Own

10.Dickinson

11.Sex Education

12.Station 19

13.Brooklyn Nine-Nine

14.The Wilds

15.Legends of Tomorrow

16.Lucifer

17.The Bold Type

18.Teenage Bounty Hunters

19.Love, Victor

20.The Haunting of Hill House

21.And finally,Schitt’s Creek
