I’m only asking cuz all the examples I can think of off the top of my head at least, regarding recent LGBT+ characters/representation (Steven Universe, She-Ra, Owl House, etc.), all coincidentally involve gay/bi women. I’m having a much harder time thinking of any gay/bi men.
I hope you know what I’m getting at and I’m not coming off as a “WHERE’S WHITE/STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH?!” guy.
Jack Harkness from Doctor Who
:lt-kitsuragi:
Movies: Call Me By Your Name, Moonlight, Brokeback Mountain
Lil Nas X
Gregg and Angus from Night in the Woods
:shinji-screm:
The dudes in the anime Yuri on Ice (though they stop juuuuuust short of making it explicitly romance)
Some of the dudes in the anime Hunter x Hunter (though I wouldn’t say they’re good representation)
There are gay relationships in the anime Shinsekai Yori
My favorite band, Ghost, is sorta made up of fictional characters (it’s complicated) and they do a lot of gay stuff on stage. I think it’s safe to say all the frontmen have been bisexual.
It is with great reluctance and a heavy heart that I add rupaul’s drag race to this list
Todd from sad horse show is asexual
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. I’ll add more if I think of any

I thought this was one big sentence at first and I was trying to parse it
Jojo’s bizarre adventure is the only recent example I can think of. A lot of people say the show has homoerotic undertones, and in season 5 there is a gay couple, Tiziano and Squalo.
But I think that fem queer representation is more common at least in animation. For kids shows, maybe execs think they are “safer” because straight guys can objectify queer women, but not queer men. I’m thinking of Legend of Korra here, how Korra and Asami end up together, but they’re the only named same-sex couple.
Jojo always felt super queer coded, like Joseph is madly crushing on Caesar like a bi king is the only way I can interpret his actions in part 2 lol.
Moonlight is quite well done
Please like me on Netflix has a main character who’s a gay man coming to terms with his sexuality, it’s pretty good
