Increased LGBTQ visibility in recent years has inevitably led to more queer and trans characters on TV, as well as more actors openly identifying within the LGBTQ community. Because of this, more than ever before, actors within the community are getting more opportunities to portray LGBTQ characters (who are often informed and enriched by an actor's own personal experiences navigating their sexuality and/or gender identity).

Openly LGBTQ actors have been able to portray queer characters on a wide range of shows, from Dan Levy on the heartfelt sitcom "Schitt's Creek" to Janelle Monáe on the psychological thriller "Homecoming" to Sarah Paulson on the horror anthology "American Horror Story."
