“Audiences are clearly hungry for new stories and perspectives, and fans are showing up to support the content that is telling stories they recognize and can relate to,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in our 2018-19 Where We are on TV Report.

This is extremely apparent when looking at E!’s TV’s Top Couple poll, where fans are voting to choose which couple is their favorite on television. Starting in mid-April, 64 couples were chosen, and have been slowly getting narrowed down, bracket style. Earlier this week, the top four were announced and they were all queer couples from GLAAD Media Award-nominated shows: Magnus and Alec from Freeform’s Shadowhunters, David and Patrick from Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek, Waverly and Nicole from Syfy’s Wynonna Earp, and Aristóteles and Temo from Mi Mariado Tiene Mas Famila on Las Estrellas. Now, only two remain – David and Patrick and Aristóteles and Temo.

David has long been a fan-favorite on comedy Schitt’s Creek, a pansexual man with a witty remark for everything, played by out co-creator Dan Levy. Two seasons ago, the show introduced Patrick (Noah Reid) as David’s business partner, who became his boyfriend, and most recently his fiancé. “I like to feel like it’s all this wonderful sort of magic of relationships and how people can change each other’s lives in really wonderful and unexpected ways,” Levy said to Entertainment Weekly about the love story between David and Patrick.

Mexican telenovela Mi Mariado Tiene Mas Famila is making waves, not just for being one of the most popular shows in several countries, but also for the inclusion of wildly popular couple Aristóteles (Emilio Osorio) and Temo (Joaquín Bondoni), dubbed “Aristemo” by their fans. The story of their relationship got a huge fan response, and also encouraged a spinoff of the two, Aristemo, La Serie, which will premiere this summer. “Seeing so many Latinx individuals embrace the identities of these two characters provides me with so much pride and leaves me wanting more of the storyline,” GLAAD intern Genesis Gil wrote on the boundary breaking show.

He Has Eaten Your Soul: James Comey, Kate McKinnon, Boy George, Justin Bieber, Lindsey Graham, Eastenders, Trevor Project: HOT LINKS

HE HAS EATEN YOUR SOUL. James Comey pens chilling op-ed about those Trump draws into his circle.

LINDSEY GRAHAM. “Trump is a f**king idiot.” He was reading someone else’s words, but we have the sound bite forever. “Sorry to the kids out there. These are the people that made a decision that (Hillary) Clinton didn’t do anything wrong, and that counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign was warranted. We’re going to, in a bipartisan way, I hope, deal with Russia, but when the Mueller report is put to bed — and it soon will be — this committee is going to look long and hard at how this all started.”

CREEPY. Shark Tank‘s Barbara Corcoran hosted a funeral-themed 70th birthday party.

JULIAN ASSANGE. 50 weeks in prison for bail jumping: “Judge Deborah Taylor said Wednesday that Assange merited near the maximum sentence of one year because of the seriousness of his offense. She rejected his claim for leniency based on the nearly seven years he spent in the Ecuadorian Embassy. The white-haired Assange stood impassively with his hands clasped while the sentence was read. His supporters in the public gallery chanted “Shame on you” at the judge as Assange was led away.”

THE TREVOR PROJECT HOTLINES. Now 24/7

HE-MAN. Noah Centineo confirms he’s playing the Masters of the Universe character. “I have an affinity for being in my underwear.”

COFFEE BUTT. Kate McKinnon’s airplane accident.

TV PRIDE. The British soap Eastenders will have its very first Pride march: ‘The BBC1 soap is set to hold an LGBTQ march this year to tie in with London’s gay pride event in the first week of July. A show source said: “It’s going to be a huge event on the square filled with joy. “Kate thought that with Walford’s London identity it was a natural fit to tie in the two. But, as with any event on Albert Square, there is certain to be plenty of drama happening alongside the celebration.”’

FINDING NEVERLAND. Boy George on the MJ documentary: “I think, one of the things that isn’t in any of those documentaries is the word ‘alleged.’ It’s just taken almost for granted that this is what happened and therefore we should all accept it. And unfortunately he’s not here to defend himself.”

SPOON OF THE DAY. Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran. The two have a rumored duet upcoming.
