Over the last few years, queer representation in media has improved quite a lot.

And while we have more LGBTQ+ characters on screen than ever, there are a LOT of them that seem like they absolutely should have been queer.

Like Finn and Poe from Star Wars Episodes 7–9. Their chemistry was out of this galaxy! I know, I know, two men can just be close friends, but there was something palpable between these two. I hope a subplot of the upcoming Rey spin-off is her attending Finn/Poe's wedding.

Then, there's Paris Geller from Gilmore Girls. The queer energy radiating off of this woman is undeniable. I've known a lot of Parises in my day, and they're almost all bisexual. And let's not forget that kiss Paris and Rory shared on spring break!

Or Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone goes directly to Velma when they think about who's queer in the Scooby-Doo universe, but this himbo and his ascot SCREAM "homosexual," whether he's animated or live-action.

And let's not forget Debbie and Lou from Ocean's 8! The vibe between these two is so incredibly flirtatious, and it's clear as day that they are meant to be life partners. Let them kiss and do crime into old age!
