As the event marks 50 years in the UK, Sky's arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer and arts and entertainment producer Jayson Mansaray take a look at the representation of the LGBTQ+ community on screen.In the 1970s comedy greats like Larry Grayson graced the country's television screens, but the camp presenter never officially came out, likely due to attitudes towards homosexuality at the time. Fast-forward to the present, and popular television has come a long way when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation.From the wildly successful Russell T Davies series It's A Sin, through to Bake Off winner John Whaite and dance partner Johannes Radebe becoming the first male same-sex couple on Strictly Come Dancing, it is hard to deny we are in far more progressive times.But when it comes to dating on the reality show Love Island, ITV producers have cited "logistical difficulties" in diversifying the format to include LGBTQ+.

In 2022, Heartstopper arrived on Netflix, and everything changed.It was an absolute gift for LGBTQ+ teens and young people, centering around two teenage boys who figure out their feelings for each other, without any death, disaster or gratuitous cruelty.For LGBTQ+ people who had grown up before, positive representation of same-sex couples were rare – but they did exist, and they were vital.As Pride month comes to a close, Metro.co.uk are catching up with LGBTQ+ people about the on-screen romances that meant everything to them growing up.We’ve had Skins’ Emily and Naomi, Six Feet Under’s Keith and David, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s Willow and Tara.Today we speak to The Only Way Is Essex star Demi Sims, who came out as bisexual at 19 and has been open, honest and unapologetic about her sexuality since.Demi has offered brilliant bisexual representation as fans watched her date and fall in love with girls on reality TV, including on Celebs Go Dating and Eating With My Ex.Demi, 25, didn’t have Heartstopper as a closeted teenager, but she did have something else: Santana and Brittany in Glee.They began as friends, moving on to friends with benefits before starting a proper romantic relationship before, finally, getting married in a double same-sex wedding alongside Kurt and Blaine.The marriage episode aired in February 2015 – before same-sex marriage was even legal in the United States.Demi found it ‘so important’ to find a show where ‘love is love no matter what gender’Reality star Demi discovered Glee when she was ‘so young’, and was entranced by the way it portrayed same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ characters, particularly Santana and Brittany.‘When I was a teenager and I wasn’t out yet, watching that was like the first gay,

Russell T Davies’ Queer as Folk, another series that focused solely on the lives of LGBTQ+ people – many continue to be amazed at how far we’ve progressed.In 2021, everyone was talking about Davies’ Channel 4 masterpiece It’s A Sin, which stars Olly Alexander and Neil Patrick Harris and follows the lives of a group of young men who together endure the horror of the HIV/Aids epidemic of the 80s, as well as the pain of rejection and the prejudices that their peers faced throughout the decade. However, while LGBTQ+ representation has reached all-time highs in some facets of the media with shows like Modern Family and Orange Is The New Black, filmmaker and director Kevin Morosky believes there is more to be done, and has called for future TV shows to create space for ‘truly intersectional’ characters.‘With It’s A Sin, don’t get me wrong, it’s about a particular moment in time, but I think it’s a little dangerous when the narrative comes from a negative place,’ he told Metro.co.uk.Morosky – who retold his experience of heartbreak through short, poetic vignettes in his self-published novel Notes – expressed there were ‘other ways’ of telling stories like this ‘that give more power to the character.’‘I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this,’ he added.‘I didn’t think that show was super progressive, of course; it was a story that needed to be told.

The character was written specifically with Cattrall in mind. Canadian writer and director Stephen Dunn said that he wanted Cattrall to play Brenda before he knew what And Just Like That… (sequel to Sex and the City) was, praising her for her acting skills and immediate engagement in taking this role on. One of Cattrall’s on-screen sons, O’Connell added that viewers should get ready because the “last four episodes of the show are insane” where her storyline takes a “really fun turn.” Cattrall took part in her first non-binary love scene in the Queer as Folk reboot and used an intimacy coach to help during the filming of these scenes. Dunn applauded her ability to be open throughout the dialogue on LGBT+ issues and relationships, stating that she was “so dialled into the character’s learning curve around queerness”. “She’s been such an ally, she really understands the queer community in this way, and she understood how her character strangely fit into this queer family.
