OUTtv is the world’s first and leading LGBTQ+ TV channel and streaming service with a mix of original and authentic series, documentaries and specials that are made by and for the queer community.
These channels play a crucial role in not only providing visibility but also educating and entertaining viewers about the LGBTQ+ community and its rich culture.
One of the pioneering channels in the United States dedicated to LGBTQ+ content is Logo TV. Launched in 2005, Logo TV is part of ViacomCBS and has become a crucial source of LGBTQ+ programming.
Is the increase of gay characters on TV shows in the West a reflection of greater tolerance? They have hope.’
The shows get up to 2 million views each and as it has been online since 2007, some gay people have grown up with it.
‘I was in Beijing LGBT Center and a girl came up to me and said “oh my god, I started watching your show in high school!”’ says Wei.
‘That felt really good.’
To make sure the stories of gay life in China keep reaching the people who need them, the Queer Comrades filmmakers have to exercise some self-censorship so that the website isn’t blocked by the great fire wall. Channels like Bravo, VH1, and Lifetime have embraced LGBTQ+ programming and created shows that resonate with audiences across all sexual orientations.
Streaming platforms continue to expand their LGBTQ+ catalogs, showcasing stories that touch on various aspects of the community’s experiences and struggles.
In addition to dedicated LGBTQ+ TV channels and mainstream networks, LGBTQ+ representation on broadcast television has grown significantly over the past decade. They are working hard to achieve that goal, but just the fact that the website exists, broadcasting real gay people onto computer screens all over China, means that they have already achieved it.

If your monthly renewal is on the 15th of every month, you must cancel by the 14th. Since OUTtv is a pre-paid service, once you cancel, you will still have access to the service until the end of your current billing cycle. Over the years, the representation of LGBTQ+ individuals and their stories on TV has significantly evolved, reflecting the progress of acceptance and inclusion.
It is crucial to ensure that representation goes beyond token characters or stereotypical storylines. Launched in 2016, Revry aims to create a platform that represents and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community in all its vibrant diversity. Sometimes you want to fight hard and then you just have to think of the consequences.’
So instead of criticising the government, Queer Comrades focuses on how to make things better for LGBT people in China.

Wei is under no illusion that Queer Comrade’s documentaries are high art. I always wanted to make a documentary about that but I don’t have access to people who are willing to tell me their story.’
The two documentaries will be released on the Queer Comrades website by September.
For five years Beijing-based website Queer Comrades has been getting around the censors and broadcasting talk shows, news, documentaries and fiction on LGBT-related topics.
Queer Comrades first show was a talk show about fag hags featuring rock singer Helen Feng.
‘During that time it was really hard to find people who are gay and want to show their face in front of the camera,’ says founder Xiaogang Wei.
‘So we got our supportive straight girlfriends to go on camera and say “we love our gay friends”.’
Little by little they found more gay people who were willing to be on camera.
‘In the first year we were quite ambitious,’ says Wei. ‘We didn’t have any funding. Authentic storytelling that reflects the multiplicity of experiences within the LGBTQ+ community plays a vital role in educating society and fostering empathy.
In conclusion, the emergence of gay TV channels in the United States, like Logo TV and Revry, has been a crucial step toward LGBTQ+ representation and inclusion.
