As we wrap up 2015, we’ve got more gay characters on television than ever before. In fact, it’s rare to find a series that doesn’t have some kind of LGBT presence.
But not every show gets it right.
Even some of our favorite and most inclusive shows need to do some fine tuning to give their gay characters their fair due.
This holiday season we’re gifting seven shows with instructions on how they can fix their flawed LGBT story lines and characters.

Nashville
Oh, Nashville. You gave us a strapping, masculine gay character in Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) and while it only seemed like forever, he did finally come out of the closet at the end of last season. This being a soap, though, we knew his relationship with perfect boyfriend, Kevin (Kyle Dean Massey), would hit a snag and his country music career would face challenges with being an out artist.
But does every Will story have to be about him being gay? Maybe he could have money issues or find himself in a situation that could open up his career but burn his friendship with Gunnar in the process? Come on, Nashville.
