26 LGBTQ TV Couples I Personally Believe Should Win An Award For "Best Onscreen Chemistry"

"We all know David is a dramatic person, and we love him for it, and never have we seen Patrick roll his eyes or ridicule his husband for his quirks and insecurities. David is Patrick's safe space when he's nervous about coming out to his parents; Patrick is David's home when it comes to voicing his inner musings that he stifled otherwise.

"Their proposal was just about the perfect depiction of this — Patrick choosing four gold rings because he KNOWS David that well, David asking if he's sure because he has difficulty loving himself. MY WHOLE HEART." —ananyeah

"Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane are one of the best couples on TV, and you cannot change my mind about it. They’re so cute together and they make each other better, and they're able to completely open up to each other." —cheese

"Eve and Villanelle from Killing Eve. Their chemistry is undeniable, and every time they’re in a scene together, the tension is so palpable." —MetropolisJo

"Amanita and Nomi from Sense8! They're just so in love and deeply connected to each other that I literally sometimes forget they are actors. The chemistry is wonderful, and their genuine interactions are just the sweetest and most tear-jerking ever." —koontzk87

"They are so similar — two straight-faced, secretly dramatic intellectuals who complement each other so well. In any episode where either one's life is in danger, their dynamic is depicted so beautifully! I am still waiting for the episode where they get to have a big renewal of their vows — they deserve it!" —ananyeah

"Their relationship only lasts a few episodes, but they're so stinkin' cute together! I love how we get to see Abbi explore what it's like dating a woman for the first time, especially when that character is played by the legendary Clea DuVall. The yellow-hat storyline never fails to make me laugh!" —Kayla Yandoli

"Their chemistry is incredible." —KK12345

"Brian and Justin from Queer as Folk (US). The actors have outstanding chemistry and make an incredibly beautiful couple. The characters have amazing arcs, each growing individually and as a couple — and they act in pretty much the most graphic sex scenes I've seen between two men on TV, which, considering that it came out 21 years ago, is really remarkable. Those two nailed those scenes!" —a-whale

"They're chaotic, but I love Mildred Ratched and Gwendolyn Briggs from Ratched. It was so different to see two appropriately aged and actually queer women in an onscreen relationship — I sobbed through most of their scenes. So nuanced and so loving." —Libby Eggert

"The kind and gentle nanny and the gruff gardener ending up together is just too perfect — not to mention the bittersweet, hard-hitting ending for their relationship." —bookkace

"Papi gives Angel the upmost respect, constantly lifts her up, and pushes her to pursue her modeling dreams. It's v corny, but anytime they express their feelings for each other, it's very passionate." —Ajani Bazile

"I am hashtag #Bellarke until the end, but from the first scene Clarke and Lexa shared, they've played off each other's character so well. Despite all of the bad blood between their people, they understand each other as leaders and love each other so much that even after her death, Lexa still protects Clarke." —t492e49f12

"Quentin and Eliot from The Magicians! They have a family together, grow old and die together, and then come back to the present and want to do it all over again." —ConfusedNarwhal

"They start out as friends, but you root for them to get together from the beginning because of how much chemistry they have. Fraser supports and loves Harper no matter how they identify their gender, and even helps them explore it. To see their friendship slowly turn into something more so organically and realistically is so beautiful. The last scene, where they finally find each other on the balcony and kiss, is just perfection. Their love for each other truly surpasses gender and sexuality and is really just based on who they are on the inside, and it’s an incredible thing to watch." —strawberrylumps22

"They’re a healthy teen couple and they’re so cute together! Bonus points for Syd being nonbinary and us enbies finally getting our representation!" —google_106

"They have such great chemistry, and I wanted it to last forever for them!" —ashleyl31

"I think Matteo and David from the Skam German remake, Druck, have amazing chemistry. They have such an ease with each other, it honestly feels like you’re watching a real couple on your TV screen. Also, the decision in Druck to take Skam’s original story and change it up to tell a love story between a cis man and a trans man is unmatched." —erinp4a8f4b878

"Out of all of Emily's girlfriends, Maya is the best. Paige tries to drown her and Alison is a jerk toward her, but Maya is the only one who treats her right. And though she 'dies,' we never see a body, and on this show, even seeing a body doesn't mean death — so she can still be alive if they ever do a reunion 😉." —Ask_Aspie

"Maybe it’s because I just rewatched Love, Victor, but Victor and Benji are so cute in such an awkward teen way!" —Tessa Fahey

"Willow and Tara! I was so heartbroken when Oz left BTVS that I never thought I’d want Willow to be with anyone else, but she and Tara just were so perfect for each other. Even when things were bad, they loved each other so much." —thetimble

"Dominique and Katherine really help make Waverly and Nicole the iconic couple that they are today." —donuttrouble0

"They were one of the first mainstream gay couples on TV! Christopher and Lee have such great chemistry, but their love for each other causes them to do some truly messed-up things." —kronus47

"Casey and Izzie from Atypical! They start as enemies, then they develop a deep and impactful friendship, and then they finally become a couple. Their journey and chemistry are unmatched!" —muffinsfortyrus

"Titus and Mikey from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are so underrated — they're literally goals!" —edwardsjosiah16

"I'm watching Shameless for the first time, and Ian and Mickey’s chemistry is mind-blowing. Both characters are seriously flawed, but they would do absolutely anything for each other. The growth of each of their characters is directly tied to the other — they are the only reason I still watch the show." —krystanl
