The Top 50 Gayest Parts of Pretty Little Liars Season Three

It has been quite a gay season on Pretty Little Liars. We’ve added two new lesbian/bi/queer characters and Paige even lived through the season finale! More than that though, it seems the whole city of Rosewood has gone lesbosexy crazy in their actions, fashion and sexual innuendo. So let’s see what made our Top 50 Gayest Parts of Pretty Little Liars Season Three.

50. Paige’s Toyota Matrix

  1. This makes me seriously reconsider my not watching pretty little liars. Maybe the autostraddle directors cut edition of this season?

    Also the amount of pride I get from knowing that there is “no gayer profession than baristaing” is a highlight of my day.

    • I watch the new eps via the (free) ABC family app, but I’m not sure if you can download that outside of the US iTunes Store. Of course, there are a number of links to stream via third party sites, but those aren’t quite legal (ok they’re not at all). The first two seasons are also on Netflix streaming. I hope that helps in some way, bc everyone needs to see this ish.

      • Yeah I can’t get the ABC app… boofreekinghooo…
        I will search it out, although I’ve only just got myself involved with DEXTER… I know… I’m so far behind the rest fo the world! It’s a bit heavy though, so maybe this will be a nice break!
        It better be good now… or I’m totally goona kick off.

    • It’s on MTV UK I think, or some MTV related channel, like Viva. I source it via *ahem* alternative means though.

  5. I’m pretty sure all of us watching an ABC Family show this obsessively is also a gay moment. like, do they know how much we love it? can we get guest spots?

  7. The answer to all of you wondering whether you should be watching this show is an emphatic YES. It is the most ridicu-wonderful thing on television.

  8. Sometimes I get so frustrated with the ridiculousness of the whole show and hundreds and thousands of unanswered questions… and then Emily and Paige (or recently Shana) have a scene and I’m like ‘oh yeah, this is why i watch it.’

  9. PINK DRINKS!
    If you haven’t watched this show you need to stop what you’re doing and download it right now. If you’re watching Glee instead, you’ve made a terrible mistake.

  12. Thanks Liz! I like how you managed to get a few 90s references in there. The only thing missing is a crying circle…I’m looking at you season 4!

  13. Thank you! I’ve been having major withdrawal since the season ended! Also Hannah is totally gay.

    • Caleb is such a lesbo. you know what would be cool? If him and Paige got all lesbros and teamed up to fight A together… wait, you mean they did that? would have been nice to SEE.

  15. This is wonderful… God, I love this show.

    Also, Paige changing the tire should be joint number 1 on this list… it actually gave me pause at the time.

  16. Wow, okay. I feel like I should be watching this show now.

    Also, this Paige girl is played by the girl from Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide and why are we not talking about that?

    (Probably because no one else watches the Family Channel the way I do…)

    • I never watched Ned’s cause I stopped watching Nickelodeon after Alex Mack but have watched a couple episode because I like Paige, and my first thought was “so are we not going to talk about how this girl is such a baby gay?”

  17. I stopped watching this show after Emily has been degayed at the end of 1st part of third season. Has she in 2nd part referred in any way to making out with the guy, stated that she wasn’t attracted to him?
    Because leaving the topic with words that “I’m confused” was clearly intentional, so I’ve foresaw that they won’t address that ever again.

  19. This is the season I’m on (Yes, I’m behind) and this post is all kinds of awesome.
