Gay TV Character Map

This interactive map is designed to show those scripted TV programs currently airing around the world that include regular or recurring gay male and bisexual characters. (So, it doesn't include reality TV shows, or shows that have featured one-off gay/bi characters or episodes, or that have only included gay characters in the past.)

Note, we've left the map of lesbian TV characters to our sister site, AfterEllen.com.

This is map will be updated on an ongoing basis, and your input is welcome! Please email corrections and additions to editor@afterelton.com, or leave them and any other suggestions in the comments below.

Click on the designated TV icon to get more info about the show.

    Map update

    Hey, guys, with ER gone, I suppose Chazz in Chicago needs to be removed from the map; conversely, you can add Genoa City, Wisconsin, which has Y&R's Rafe Torres.

    Gay Australia

    While Australian TV is somewhat lacking in the gay male characters area (we seem to have a fair share of lesbians though, no prizes for guessing why)we are not completely bereft of homo hotties: Secret Life of Us Home and Away Number 96 (currently off the air [like Beautiful People etc.]-but still the best show ever- featuring the first fully integrated gay couple in television history)
