The 25 Most Necessary LGBTQ TV Shows of the 21st Century

25. “Tuca and Bertie” (2019)

What it is: The dearly departed “Tuca and Bertie” was one of TV’s leading shows about friendship, dating, and creature a hot mess: tried and factual subject matter many queer people can relate to. The titular avian duo — impulsive party animal tucan Tuca (Tiffany Haddish) and sensible but anxious song thrush Bertie (Ali Wong) — have one of TV’s loveliest friendships, as the two total opposites help each other through career and sentimental struggles. While the main romantic partnership of the entertainment is between Bertie and her adorably square boyfriend Speckle (Steven Yeun), Tuca is very much an out-and-proud double attraction bird, flitting around from romantic partners of all genders and species.

Why it’s essential: The finest season of the show, Season 2, features Tuca entering a relationship with Kara (Sasheer Zamata), a seagull nurse. Initially a positive bond, the exhibit steadily tracks the flaws in the pairing, as Kara puts Tuca down and forces her to change to fit the mold of her flawless partner.

ABOUT GAY USA

GAY USA was created in the soon 1980s by gay activist and video producer Lou Maletta. Lou realized that mainstream news outlets had only a superficial sympathetic of the LGBT society and — in particular, at that time — the AIDS crisis. So he decided to build a more knowledgeable, urbane, honest source of news. He took news crews to LGBT events around the country. He sent reporters to the Democratic and Republican conventions from 1984 to 2000, grilling politicians on gay and AIDS issues, while covering demonstrations in the streets. He covered every major news story of discrimination and liberation for twenty years, and put it all on television around the country.

Co-hosted by Andy (since 1985) and Ann (since 1996), the exhibit continues to report — every week — the latest developments on legalizing same-sex marriage in the U.S. and worldwide, fighting for equality in Russia and South America and Asia, stopping murders of LGBT people in Africa and Central America, and much, much more. We continue to cover the HIV/AIDS pandemic and other health news. And we have an Entertainment News segment each week, focused on LGBT people and subjects in show busines
