With this in mind, we would like to talk about five of our favorite gay anime shows.

You got to see what romance really should look like, and got to see yourself in a different way, thanks to LGBT anime. There have been some pretty great anime LGBT relationships, and those characters represent gay couples in many different and positive ways. Were you an LGBT kid who enjoyed anime? If so, chances are there were some shows that had characters that explored their sexuality and helped you to make better sense of what might have seemed so confusing at the time (Sailor Moon is one of these characters). Looking for a new Japanese animation to watch? We’ve put together a list of the top gay animes of all time.
