Hi guys, do you know any shows with relevant lesbian or bisexual characters that are either really good, or just older than 10 years... (The show, not the characters) Alternately, just some shows which are a little more LGBT focused than the "Standart"?

The Simpsons is the oldest running show I know of that had a lesbian character. Patty or Selma. Always forget which is which, tho. And the thing with the episode where they came out always stuck with me more due to the fact that Marge became almost a totally different character who abhorred the idea that her sister was gay.

And also maybe Mimi from The Drew Carrey Show. She married Drew's brother, who was possibly trans (they were at the very least a transvestite/crossdresser who did drag shows). I could imagine the character would have been unambiguously trans if the show aired today, making them a lesbian couple.
