How do you like your queer representation? Personally, I like mine straight up. That means messy, weird, and morally questionable—ideally also with a great sense of fashion and killer one-liners.
But listen, not everybody wants that: if there’s one thing we know, it’s that LGBTQ+ representation isn’t one size fits all. One user found that out the hard way.
Now I know what you’re thinking: both, we can have both. And yes, that’s absolutely true. But it’s also painfully clear at this point that when it comes to delicious, bitchy, flamboyant villainy, nobody does it like us gays.

Prestige TV has certainly given us a lot to love in the way of dastardly, tortured gays.
And the past few years have provided plenty of amazingly evil, unbelievably hot lesbians to root for. “Killing Eve,” anyone?
Hell, even Annalise Keating was a messy bisexual!
And we can’t forget the OGs, the ones who started it all…
Let’s be real: we can’t get enough. Keep the gay villains coming, people.
As long as they stay…you know…fictional.
