LGBTQ+ representation was hard to find on television for a very long time, but we persevered and found, you know, a handful. Which one of these legendary ladies are you?
It wasn't too long ago that we really had to dig deep to find LGBTQ+ representation on television but you know what, we did our best!

Bette from the L Word. In my dreams.
Callie! Okay I did kinda know when I said I wanted my nickname to be Ortho Goddess…
I also got Bette, but someone please tell me who the detective is so I can watch that show.
Kima from the wire. Excellent show (biased a bit since from bmore and awesomely I got her 😁)
Ooh thanks! That’s been on my list to watch for a while, but I had no idea there was a queer character.
Multiple queer characters!
I do have a lbtgq role model cause I’m trans but my role model isn’t on this quiz . My lbtgq role model is Jojo Siwa watching her talk about the lbtgq on YouTube helped me a lot cause before watching her lbtgq videos on YouTube I was scared to tell my parents that I’m trans
the reformed bad girl character – but je suis <least likelymost> likely.
I got Willow, and I have never seen Buffy (I know, I know) but I love redheads, so yay!
I got Willow, because I just bend that way.

I got Callie but I’ve never seen Grey’s Anatomy because I don’t watch medical dramas because I always think I’m dying or have some underlying health condition. I’m werid, I know.
I got Spencer so now I have to watch South of Nowhere which I know nothing about ! Should be fun.
Same here. Though I think I do actually live “south of nowhere”! I told new neighbor (obnoxious straight white guy)—“Welcome to nowhere” so there’s that.
I used to recap SON on my old recap blog that doesn’t exist anymore!! in retrospect, it may have been VERY bad, but also; it was the first time i saw two teen girls dating each other on television!
Same! Never heard of this show. I guess I’ll look it up
Kima from The Wire. I could not afford HBO in the 2000s, but no idea why I never watched the series later on.
NOWS YOUR CHANCE
Kima – I have never watched The Wire, probably a sign that I should
“You’re Callie from Grey’s Anatomy! Congrats on being fun, hot and successful!”
did i perhaps game the system? perhaps! but i’m rewatching grey’s and am in some Prime callie torres territory
I was aiming for Willow but got Bette Porter instead.
Alex from Degrassi TNG! Reformed bad girl and notable wearer of tank tops. Perfect.
WILLOW! I feel incredibly honored!
I got Marissa and that’s my name ironically.
Yup, love Spencer Carlin
Laughed out loud when I got Bette, because I cannot stand her.
I guess this solves that mystery. :-)
I’ve never watched Grey’s Anatomy, but I am happy to be fun, hot, and successful!
” I don’t know what to do with my life but will get very upset if my partner shares any ideas or advice that could help me fix this or any problem”
I picked this answer because it’s very accurate, but it’s also very rude!
Willowwwwwww
witch 💯
Willow. Accurate.
I was certain my *actual ortho goddess* ortho resident fiancee would get Callie but somehow we both got Spencer from South of Nowhere — which also works because that show (specifically Ashley) was her root
I got Bette Porter, who I also had as a quiz answer for who was going to ruin my life… that tracks
Team self-sabotage 4eva
Got Willow,yes!even if i didnt pick the “Blood sucking fiend” Quote but choosing tara as my girl.
Speaking of that: cant figure out some quotes:
The tv series quotes:1 buffy (willow)
6 sex and the city
( samantha)
8.OG l word ( bette)
7 maybe ally mc beal
the others i dont know , anyone,help??
Im sympathetic to britney, esp in the last 10 years,but only liked 4 songs,as Im more of a indie rock girl and for popmusic prefered other women than brit: toxic , slave ,circus, and not a girl,not yet a woman .
the latter is missing in the lyric quote identify as its really the most iconic. Was quoted in hbo girls / in dunham interviews
Spencer! 16yo lil lezzy me would’ve loved to have a gf like Ashley. Any gf really, lol.
Thanks to South of Nowhere I discovered musical genius LP 🎤
