Supportive Environments for LGBTQ Characters
And/or titles light on the homophobia. Because queer and trans people deserve to see themselves represented on screen without having to wade through trauma. Spoilers in the notes explain why these titles were added.
Note that this list strictly pertains to how the characters are treated by others in regards to their sexuality or gender identity; some of these dramas have characters who are mistreated for reasons not relating to their sexuality or gender identity. Also, I consider fetishization of LGBTQ people by straight people to be a form of homophobia, so I don't include titles with that (or I will at least note it if it is heavily outweighed by an otherwise supportive environment).
(Mostly dramas I've watched since I started this list in 2022 because I can't remember the finer details of dramas I watched before then.)

101. Love Songs Love Stories: Pae Jai
Thai Drama - 2015, 2 episodes
One FL's friend group is entirely LGBTQ people. They are the catty kind who are somewhat rude to each other though (as in reinforcing norms about the ways lesbian and gay people should act). Also, I don't have enough of a grasp on Thai gender/sexuality/language to know if they were misgendering one of their friends or not. No homophobia/transphobia from cishet people.

102. My Sweet Dear (Movie)

No homophobia (but the MLs are also totally closeted).
