Grey’s Anatomy (Season Twenty – ABC)
Spanning nearly two decades, hit-medical drama Grey’s Anatomy has introduced some of TV’s most notable queer characters.

While the staff at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital deal with life-or-death consequences on a daily basis, they struggle to maintain their personal lives and relationships. The new season re-introduces trailblazing queer characters Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) and Dr. Nico Kim (Alex Landi).

Beyond the Aggressives: 25 Years Later (Special – Showtime or Paramount+)
The GLAAD Media Award-nominated documentary Beyond the Aggressives: 25 Years Later picks up two decades after Daniel Peddle’s groundbreaking 2005 film centering masc-presenting queer people of color in NYC. In the sequel, Peddle revists four of the original subjects—Kisha, Trevon, Octavio and Chin—who share an array of their personal triumphs and challenges over the past 25 years. Interwoven with fresh voices from the wider BIPOC community, the film delves into how much language, culture, and visibility of the trans community has evolved, and grapples with the complexities of gender identity, expectations, and expression.
