When it comes to homosexuality in the media, at least male homosexuality, quite frankly, it's lackluster (I don't see enough lesbian relationships to actually comment on them). Both guys are generally pretty dull, and the media's typical "effeminate" man is often a completely pathetic and unattractive mess. Nothing against "effeminate" men, hell male crossdressers rock (I even dream of crossdressing sometimes, and I'm a straight guy, for your information), but the media's typical portrayal of them, ugh. To me, lots of same-sex friendships in fiction would make better gay couples than most of the gay relationships we actually get. Anyway, here's a few from me.


1) Steve Mcgarrett and Danno Williams from the modern Hawaii Five-0 show. My god, can you imagine these two in a romantic relationship? The sex appeal alone would be off-the-charts. And they already behave like a couple who while nagging at one another, really are in love. Chin-O being hooked up with either men would work too. It could even make for a great gay love triangle.

2) Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural, IF they weren't biologically related. As far as complicated gay relationships go, wow, this one would be...phenomenal. I haven't seen the last season yet by the way, so please don't spoil it, okay?

3) Stryker and Kabal. Hell, for all we know, they're already a couple.

4) Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in their younger years.


I want gay relationships in the media to be treated exactly like straight ones, with romantic and sexual scenes that are passionate and electric. All these duos above would come close to that if you added a sexual element. Yes, I know the actors in three of my suggestions probably wouldn't be comfortable with it, but again it's hypothetical, meaning, let's pretend that they are. And really, that's one problem with the acting industry, not enough gay/bi actresses or actors that could be paired with one another as co-stars. If John Travolta truly is gay like rumors have said, then it's tragic he never played any gay characters in his younger years (as far as I know, anyway). Goddamn homophobic society.

I've always thought Fez and Hyde from That 70s Show would make such an adorable couple.

I actually agree with Stryker and Kabal, to some extent. It does seem possible there could be potential for the two to be in a more intimate relationship.

Raj and Howard(from TBBT) would make a great couple. Although the show already play with that idea sometimes.

Ah, gay shipping... Be careful when stepping into this dark corner of the internet, you might never find your way out again. ;P

One of the more popular ones are Dean, Sam and Castiel from Supernatural. Yes, even if it is indeed incest, Sam and Dean are a very popular gay shipping couple, and Castiel is thrown in there for good measure.

I've liked the idea of Stryker and Kabal since I first saw them work together in the recent MK story mode. Another MK gay shipping couple I like is one of my own creation - Rain and Reiko. I once wrote a fanfiction about Rain wanting to take over Edenia and got Reiko's support who has recently taken over the throne of Outworld, so to me it has always made sense for those two to be shipped. I have also seen another popular MK gay shipping couple in Rain and Kung Lao... not sure why though.

Though I haven't seen the Teen Wolf series yet, I often see alot of references to it and the cute guys in there... there might be alot of potential of gay shipping some of them. Just another reason for me to check it out. ;P

You already did by suggesting it.

Lesbian couples I'd like to see

1) Li Mei and Sheeva, or Jade.

2) Dana Scully and Monica Reyes in X-Files, back when the show was on the air.

3) Mulan, from the "Once upon a time" TV show, needs a girlfriend. Aurora wouldn't have been so bad, but a relationship between them is probably off the table. In the Wonderland version that just ended, Alice and Anastasia could have been interesting.

4) Any of the female characters in the Killer instinct series could be hooked up, as we don't know any of these gals' sexual orientation.

5) Lots of potential gay couples for the Resident Evil series. Helena +Ada or Sheva, Jill+Claire, Hunk+Billy, just to name some that come to mind.

6) Skye and Jenna Simmons from "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.".

Well, there's a lesbian couple in a TV-show that is hinted at, but never fully confirmed (I don't think it is, at least), which is Xena and Gabrielle. Though there are hints aplenty in the show, the two bathing together, kissing from time to time etc.

As for MK characters, I could see Kitana and Jade have some moments together... Or maybe that's just because I imagine the Edenians in Outworld could easily have been very open-minded sexually. Just look at how they dress and act. Even Mileena, who is just a clone of Kitana, is a very sexual character which could be the result of the natural sexuality of an Edenian and the bestial nature of a Tarkatan... But that's a discussion for another time.

I also believe there are some lesbian rumours between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy...

American Dad's Steve Smith + Snot. They're destined to be a couple in say, ten years after they figure out after the rejections and failed interactions with women that they are there for each other through it all.

I also really just want to see Stan to hit the roof when Steve announces his GAY JEWISH wedding.

There is no greater fictional lesbian couple than Xena and Gabrielle.
