Pride Month is here, and it’s a great time to revisit some of your favorite LGBTQ+ movies and books. It’s also an ideal time to recommend a quality show or movie to a friend or fellow reader by letting them know which queer couple you consider to be endgame.

In 2023, we are seeing more LGBTQ+ representation in the media than ever before. That means that so many people are able to see themselves represented on the screen.

Of course, some couples will resonate with you more strongly than others. Is Malec from Shadowhunters the ultimate couple to you? Or is it Brittana from Glee? There are so many other options, too!

We put together a poll so that you could let us know the ultimate LGBTQ+ couple!
