Dramas where they say "gay"

This show is extremely outspoken about LGBTQ+ rights! They say the word gay more times than most other shows I've seen and they are blatant about discussing sexuality! No beating around the bush for these folks!

Marriage equality, the standards gay men are pressured to uphold just to be treated as humans even by supposed allies, the contradictions of BL dramas being exported from a country where gay marriage isn't even legal. Those are just some of the things mentioned!

This just genuinely feels like a queer series.

Akk coming to terms with/allowing himself to accept his attraction to men plays a huge part in this series. Ayan has a lot of great dialogue surrounding this such as "When I first found out, it was hard too." and "This is normal. This is our nature just like anyone else." (paraphrased) they also visit a diversity cafe with lots of actual diversity!

Lots of talk of sexuality! My favorite line is when Wen says, when talking about gay marriage, that we might just have to wait for the conservative dinosaurs to die out. love that

Ep 12 or so has a VERY realistic depiction of homophobia and does a very good job of showing that that is unwelcome!

Neung is gay! Which,,,, obviously; but he talks about it I'm pretty sure by directly saying he's gay. Also there's a lovely scene where he's talking about soulmates and talks about straight, wlw, and mlm in the lore :) ALSO! There's a very beautiful gay wedding 

Love that they say gay and it's not just a "gay-for-you" situation!! He comes to terms with his sexuality not just revolving around his relationship

They say "Whether you're gay, bi, or pan or any other" !! One of the only instances of pansexuality being mentioned (by name) that I've seen!

Discussions and struggles with sexuality are pretty prevalent, even if not always directly stated every time. 

One of the few shows  I've seen where they attend a Pride event!! Love to see it. Though the sexuality of the main characters isn't really personally acknowledged, it doesn't have to be in this instance.

ML says he's down to date any gender whilst other ML basically acknowledges he's never liked women! Also there are WLW who discuss loving women!!!

I don't recall them actually using the word gay (correct me if I'm wrong!), but the main plot is literally revolving around a couple who died because of homophobia soo

edit: They do discuss bisexuality by name!!

One of my favorite parts of this show involves the main characters sexuality being directly discussed.

One of the MCs says he's down to date men or women. There's definitely more discussion about sexuality but I won't get into specifics.

it's been like 5 years since i watched this but I specifically remember the MC getting called "gay boy".  Also believe bisexuality is discussed and it's called grey rainbow so I'm pretty sure they focus on gay rights and stuff. I forget, sorry. 

He interviews LGBT people, also. And there's homophobia addressed I believe.

There's a whole thing about coming out and being afraid of what his mother might think. I'm pretty sure there's more but I forget lol

Lots of discussions of being gay/MLM. One of the MC's flat out states that he is a gay man. There's a gay wedding also!!!

Really only one instance I can recall where Kao says "if loving you makes me gay, then I guess I am." but he shows 0 interest in women so it's not a case of the gay-for-you trope imo

They briefly talk about sexuality. No one really struggles to come to terms with their sexuality unlike most others here, but it is mentioned.

My sweet boy Shin is an openly(?) gay man :)

Pretty sure Neo talks about being bi but I could just be manifesting

NOT gay, but there is a trans character and they discuss her gender affirmation surgery!

It's directly stated that Kinn is gay. It's also never a point of contention (probably bc everyone else is gay too)

This is very much so a queer story. I don't know if it was created by queer people but it absolutely seems like it

They don't really talk about the characters sexuality too much but they have a lot of discussion about same-sex marriage at the end of the show which is awesome!!
