The toast of the indie world, The Outs is a prime example of the people getting what they want: The series was funded entirely on Kickstarter, filmed in Brooklyn and incorporates local musicians. While the majority of shows on our list are comedies and dramadies, The Outs is a more sober look at gay life in New York, exploring the disconnect between emotional and physical intimacy, the struggle to find someone who wants what you want, and what happens when things don’t work out.
It’s the perfect show to watch while you brood over your morning coffee.
NEXT: Until RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars arrives, there’s Jenifer Lewis and Shangela!

Husbands is brilliant, Brad Bell especially is a brilliant comedian and a pretty good actor too, I also love his you-tube channel where he puts his comedy sketches and general thoughts. It’s really a shame all the sitcom makers aren’t beating a path to his door.
Sometimes he reminds me of the UK comedian Kenny Everett who was a big part of my teenage years and sadly passed on from aids soon after Freddie Mercury.

I’m SO in love with the internet age of media…
Not only were these shows better than I was expected, but they really bring to the forefront how starved we are for complex, varied, and realistic gay characters on tv.
Even the cartoon-cutout characters featured here feel more fleshed-out than the upper-middle class, white, sanitized, theater queens and/or suit-and-tie professionals that we’re served again and again by the networks. Probably because these are mainly people representing their own lives. I would have loved to have grown up in an era of such democratic representation of queer images. Way to go guys!
Would love to see an equivalent line up for queer ladies, or even *gasp* a complex bisexual character or two.
