All 235 Dead Lesbian and Bisexual Characters On TV, And How They Died

People die. Characters die. This is perhaps life’s most unfortunate fact: that people will die and leave the rest of us behind. It’s incredibly rare that any dramatic television series lasting over three seasons will never kill a main or recurring character, and all those deaths have driven a stake through the heart of fandom: Joyce on Buffy, Lady Sybil on Downton Abby, Charlie on Lost, Ned Stark on Game of Thrones, Jen on Dawson’s Creek, Nate on Six Feet Under — but when the person who dies is a lesbian or bisexual character, queer fandom takes it pretty hard.

The history of lesbian representation on television is rocky — in the beginning, we seemed exclusively relegated to roles that saw us getting killed/attacked or doing the killing/attacking. And until the last five or so years, lesbian and bisexual characters seemed entirely unable to date an actual woman or stay alive for more than three episodes, let alone an entire run, of a show. Gay and lesbian characters are so often murdered on television that we have our very own trope: Bury Your Gays. We comprise such a teeny-tiny fraction of characters on television to begin with that killing us off so haphazardly feels especially cruel.

Not every death listed below was wholly uncalled for. In many genres, like soap operas and shows about vampires, zombies, criminals, or games of thrones, characters are killed on the reg. That’s a different trope — Anyone Can Die. Furthermore, shows composed entirely of queer characters will inevitably kill one. But regardless, they still add to the body count weighing down our history of misrepresentation.

And, due to the recent untimely death of Lexa on The 100, this week seemed like a good one to count down everybody we have lost over the years.

This list contains every television death of an OPENLY lesbian or bisexual or queer female character on a television show. With a handful of exceptions, these are all characters who appeared for more than one episode. The exceptions were deemed exceptional because something about the characterization still fits in with the Bury Your Gays trope. Victims-of-the-week from crime procedurals (Law & Order, Cold Case, CSI, Criminal Minds or older shows) or patients-of-the-week from hospital dramas (Chicago Hope, E.R.), aren’t on this list, as that is an entirely different kind of list, but recurring characters from those shows are on this list. Nor is subtext on this list, because we’re not gonna give Xena showrunners Queer Character Credit for a character they refused to make openly queer when she was really so obviously queer. You know? [ETA: Okay, I’ve added Xena after doing further research and because if one more commenter takes up space on this thread — a thread I’m using to find more characters to add, and also to engage with thoughtful/funny readers who have opinions and feelings — to tell me that I “forgot” Xena without reading this introduction, I will become the 200th dead lesbian and the cause of death will be “Walked off a cliff with a commenter in her arms. Murder-suicide.” But Xena will be the one and only inclusion based on subtext.] Also, although I’ve done tons of research, I haven’t personally seen all of these shows, so mistakes may very well exist, and feel free to politely inform me of them in the comments, or tell me about characters I may have missed — it’s especially helpful if you can tell me the cause of death and the year.

Unsure if this needs to be said but… SPOILER ALERT.

  1. I think this is a necessary and useful list, but you have included several bisexual women who were predominantly heterosexual and only incidentally homosexual. Honestly I don’t think that characters whose sexuality in the show was mainly defined by their love for a man should be include here.

    • So where do we draw the line ? Do we reject bisexual women who’ve only had one same-sex sexual experience, but accept those that “proved” they belonged with us because they had a proper long term relationship with another woman?

    • wow, that is a super bi-phobic point of view! you call the characters “bisexual women” but say they don’t belong here because their main relationship was with a man?

      Even if a woman is never with another woman in her entire life, she can still be bisexual! What is “incidentally homosexual” even supposed to mean?

      This would be an entirely inappropriate standard to apply in real life, there’s no reason it’d be okay to apply it to TV characters.

    • Bisexual women are bisexual regardless of how many of our partners are men. We’re still bisexual no matter who we’re with. And it’s still a hit against queer women when we’re murdered.

    • bisexual (and pansexual) women who have relationships with men are just as queer as lesbian women.

    • How can you even be “predominantly heterosexual”? This is such an incorrect and harmful notion. In my opinion the only criterium is that they are a female canon bisexual. Never having been in a (main) relationship with another female does not erase their sexuality.

      I think it’s gonna be really interesting how they are going to handle the romantic life of Clarke (of The 100 who is bisexual – in case you have been sleeping the last two weeks) going forward. I can already see the outrage of the fandom if (when?) she ends up with Bellamy.
      Actually, I am still so bitter about Lexa’s death that I kinda hope for Clarke to remain single and mourn the loss of Lexa properly, like for all eternity.
      But I doubt this will happen and it would be really problematic for fans to be complaining about her ending up with a guy because he is male. Obviously, it’s not really about the gender, the Clexa shippers just don’t want Clarke to be with anyone but Lexa, but I can see what people could take away from this: That people are pissed just because he is male and that would somehow invalidate Clarke’s sexuality.

      • I’m sad to say that it’s more than likely going to be when Clarke and Bellamy get together than if because those two characters are actually together in the books which makes this whole thing even worse. They flat out created a character (one of the best characters as well), made her a lesbian, hooked her up with the main character only to kill her and cause more emotional turmoil for Clarke just so she can later end up with Bellamy. It makes the queerbaiting even more disturbing. This and some of the other things that are coming out from one of the regulars about working with Rothenberg have turned me off the show completely.

        • Ugh, I have been thinking about this a lot. This is actually what irks me the most about this whole debacle: They wrote the romantic storyline between Clarke and Lexa AFTER they already knew that the actress was not available long term. I think that had they not brought Lexa back for the third season at all, it would not have felt like an unnatural ending. A missed opportunity, yes, but it wouldn’t have invalidated the story.

          It’s one thing if they need to write a character out because of unforeseen circumstances, but they put themselves into this position in the first place.
          Then they blamed the death on other obligations of the actress all the while they simply created the romance because they knew it would keep especially the LGBT fans satisfied. They dug the hole they are sitting in now all on their own.

          I would prefer the romantic storyline to have never happened instead of this shitshow we have now.

          • Agreed… right up to the point where you’d rather not have had the romantic storyline at all.

            At some point, in the VERY distant future, decades from now, I’ll come to terms with Lexa’s death. And I’ll feel some small modicum of happiness that she had the relationship with Clarke beforehand.

            At least, that’s what I keep telling myself about Willow & Tara’s reconciliation, for that day in the distant future when I come to terms with Tara’s death.

          • I have heard multiple times now that people would rather have no lesbian storylines than disrespectful ones. How sad that really is.

            I have to admit, I have not watched Buffy to this day, but I had my fair share of TV related heartbreaks. And for The 100, I hopped on the train only really late in the game and still it hit me like a ton of bricks.

  2. Belated thank you for that little detail with Delphine.

    Denial is not the best way to live, but it could be a way of life.

  3. Here’s another missing. Sophia Varma, from Blindspot (2015). Killed herself. She was Bethany Mayfair’s ex-lover.

  4. Thirteen/Remy Hadley (House M.D.) could probably be on this list too. Canonically bisexual and although I don’t believe we see her die on screen, we find out she has Huntington’s in season 4 or 5 and then proceed to watch her develop a pact with House that he’ll kill her once she starts getting sick.

  5. You found 146 dead and 29 alive. That’s 83.5% Imagine if 83.5% of all TV characters died.

      • Excerpt from the comment section of the THR article (I want you to suffer with me :D):

        “Good lord. Get over yourself. How many straight characters have been killed off? What pains in the ass you LGBT activists are.”

        “Not 22% of them, this year alone. That’s for sure.”

        “Of course. They are the majority. To kill off 22% you had to kill like 200 persons or so.”

        “and did that happen?”

        “No because that’s almost impossible. It’s much more easy to watch 4 characters die than 200 just for statistics sake. There’s a lot more variety nowadays in television, and that’s good. But they can’t protect the characters just for the sake of them being gay or wtv, they should die like any other character because they are people first, and only them they are gay. That doesn’t matter at all, I wouldn’t mind at all if there were a series with 1000 homosexual people and 10 heterosexual that killed off some heterosexuals like they were killing the other (majority of) homosexuals.”

        Im wondering if he would still think that way if the television landscape had a ratio of 10/1000 heterosexuals, that’s 0.01 %. But he is talking about only one show and that I can’t argue because I also didn’t mind that they killed Jenny Schecter.

  6. If anyone wants to be extra angry about Denise from TWD, in the comic books, it’s Abraham who dies then with the arrow to the eye, so narratively, she was sacrificed so the straight white guy could live longer.

    • They did that because they try not to keep to the comics as much anymore so they can surprise the fans. The other lesbian on the show, Tara, didn’t even exist in the comics and the comic book character, Tara, is nothing like her. And she was introduced mid season 4 and season 6 is about to wrap up. They often kill of minor characters like Denise, heck they killed two live children on camera for the first time this season but when the first lesbian gets killed, there’s an issue. Hundreds of deaths on the show in total too.

  7. My favourite was the teen wolf one, because yes, i watched it, and yes, it was that ridiculous.

    • Ugh, somebody please tell me why I spent half my evening over there arguing with the straights.

      • And some damage-control started on AE today. As far as I can see, it’s not really working.

      • Aaah, I just smiled a bit, because I think I’ve seen you on literally every article defending the movement. Kudos to you!

        I’ve also fought my way through the comments and I’m still in disbelief about many of them. Some just don’t get it and that’s sad but not something one can change over night, but others are just so ignorant, it makes me wanna pull my hair out. And also, if you have nothing constructive to say, just go away.

        And then this one gay guy who started whining about how liberals are so shitty and that he’s getting flak from everywhere for being on the right wing and how this campaign would make people wanna vote for Donald Trump. This reminded me of Caitlyn Jenner who used the go-to argument that there are more important things to worry about. Like, jeaa, Trump is misogynist and transphobic, but he is good for the economy. WTH.

        But I have to say, I was really impressed by the way commenters from our side conducted the conversation and never turned to hateful or hostile responses.

        • Oh, yes. The Trump related comments.

          I just love that idea some people have that you can only do one thing at a time. Sorry, dude, I can watch TV and be involved in politics.

        • Ugh, it’s just exhausting. I’m halfway convinced that many commenters are really the same nasty troll. I have some notifications I want to reply to but… I really just want to eat popcorn, drink whiskey, and write some Elyza Lex fanfic. Maybe I need a mental health day from this whole mess?

          • I’ve seen some straight men and women commenting on articles like this one with real empathy, but yes, in the other hand, you have a lot of assholes.

            One peculiar thing I’ve noticed is that these assholes are, for the most part, white dudes, with very limited views on social issues and extreme, almost fundamentalist, fans of some comics and some TV shows. The best example I can find it’s the Gotham bros, who were so offended because Renee Montoya “took” Jim Gordon’s girlfriend.

            I really don’t think you can talk to that kind of people, so don’t waste your time.

          • As sad as it sounds but I really want to believe that they are doing this for fun and to aggravate other people, because if they really believe the stuff they are saying I think every hope for them is lost.

            It made me happy to see that there also were some commenters that actually tried to understand and didn’t just dismiss the topic from the get-go.

            What I also noticed is that in the articles about TWD the people were way more dismissive and aggressive in comparison to the first articles that came out about The 100.

            About the white straight guys…I think they had never any reason to think about that stuff and never will have. Combined with lack of empathy, this leads to total ignorance, so no surprise there.

  8. a wlw character died in an episode of castle (8×10) this year. but she wasn’t a recurring character, so does it still count?

    • From the article: “Victims-of-the-week from crime procedurals (Law & Order, Cold Case, CSI, Criminal Minds or older shows) or patients-of-the-week from hospital dramas (Chicago Hope, E.R.), aren’t on this list, as that is an entirely different kind of list, but recurring characters from those shows are on this list. “

  9. Check Lucy … Mina (her best friend) slept with her fiancé, not the other way around.

  10. I read through this whole list looking for the woman from The Following (whose character name I won’t bother looking up now). She married her wife on the show and was later buried alive.

    • Debra Parker was buried alive, never married to a woman. Gina Mendez, who looks a lot like Parker, was married to a woman and her and her wife appear to have survived the finale.

  11. This is like airing dirty laundry. I hate this “kill the woman that doesn’t want a man in her life”. It’s disgusting. :/

  12. The SHIELD characters were based on a gay couple in the comics, but were specifically never established as such in the show, because they didn’t want to introduce a gay character only to kill them off and face fan backlash. (Because OBVIOUSLY you need to have a REALLY SPECIAL REASON to introduce someone GAY.) Their character arcs were completely different in the comics; they didn’t die.

    Not sure if this matters for list purposes – depends on whether you consider them the same character or not. (I was surprised to see them on the list until I googled and found they used to be gay in the comics.)

    • from previous comments–

      oliviactually: “Seeing Agents Hand and Hartley from SHIELD on this list is bitterly ironic, cause the showrunners specifically said that one of the reasons they erased both character’s queer sexualities from the show is because they didn’t want to become known as the show with two dead lesbians. Yeah, fuck that show.”

      Catherine: “That is why I don’t understand how they made the list but some other characters didn’t”

      oliviactually: “Well, I’d support them being on this list if only because it’s a big f-you to the showrunners who explicitly wanted to avoid this outcome, which is bullshit homophobic erasure.”

      Riese: “precisely”

    • It’s been mentioned somewhere in the comments above that they are working on a separate article on trans characters, since the tropes and context aren’t quite the same.

  13. Haruka and Michiru from Sailor Moon died holding hands after being killed for betraying the woman they were supposed to be working for. The episode aired in 1997.

  14. Seeing this list and the other list, it is obvious what we’ve known/experienced for years. Nevertheless, to see it one one page is… a bit shocking, honestly. Personally, I’ve reached the end of my patience, and Lexa was the last straw (never mind that the list hadn’t been up for 2 weeks before new characters have been added!)

    It was really nice and affirming to see that the Clexa fans did something positive with their anger/grief.

    This all started from a really horrible place, but the ensuing discussion has been great and thought-provoking. I wonder how we move forward from here? If this has gained traction somewhat in the mainstream media, what effect might it have?

    A big thank you to all the writers for this work. Looking forward to the other lists and analysis as well. Thank you for this space, and the opportunity to comment and discuss. I’m sure it’s been said before, but it’s like an oasis in the desert.

  15. I don’t know if this counts, but in the 2008 BBC show, Survivors, Anya’s girlfriend, Pat, is one of the people who dies from the virus in the first episode and I believe she shows up in a later episode as a flashback. It’s been a while since I watched that show, but IMDb shows the character appearing in episode 1 and 5. Not exactly victim of the week but also not exactly a recurring character.

    What I remember most is that the show made it seem like Anya was the last queer woman on Earth, and I believe identified as a lesbian and then got involved with a man. Anyone else remember this?

  16. I have fallen behind on a lot of shows I usually watch (supernatural, Hemlock Grove, Lost Girl, Heroes etc) and was utterly shocked to hear about the character deaths in those shows and the descriptions of how they died. Like seriously? Why so many birthing baby deaths? Why so violent and unnecessary? Well thank you because I’m never going back to those shows now, you have saved me from the upset of having to watch that. <3

  17. Can someone chronicle ALIVE queer women please? Like queer, alive women of TV shows that are done / no more potentially deadly episodes?

  18. Any Vera fans out there with a better memory than mine? This show is so compelling and unique partly because it explores the private lives of the guest characters around the murder-of-the-episode, but even into the sixth season, there is so little revealed about the central characters private lives. The scant clues to what makes these humanly-flawed characters tick are what make the show so magnetizing. I just watched Vera season / series 6 episode 1 and, SPOILER….

    Not having been spoiled myself, I still felt it coming early on, wracking my brain to remember if DC Bethany Whelan’s obvious queerness was ever cannon. Every scene with her this episode made my oh-no-they-won’t…oh-shit! feelings grow until yet another of so very few butch(ish) black women on TV dies a lazy-writing “heroic/tragic” death – so Vera can have 15 minutes of guilty-anger feels for two episodes.

    Googling, I see Cush Jumbo is on Good Wife, now, giving interviews with coded language to say she won’t be queer like Kalinda, and that she had to be written off Vera… got shot in the back – ha ha… Her plot in the episode was that she had applied for major crimes, a good way to say goodbye to her awesome characer. Vera “scuppered” it because Whelan wasn’t ready, bleh.

    Does anyone remember a canonization moment for DC Whelan? I can’t find any good recaps online, but could swear I remember a female pronoun-type reveal at some point. The British press called the character a “sparky tomboy,” but that’s the best I’ve got, and I’m just not up for hunting through every episode she was in just to verify what I already know was another lazy writer murdering a black queer woman.

  19. I’ve got one more for you: Dot from Cloudburst (2011), surprise death of natural causes (I think it was a heart attack) in the last ten minutes of the movie.

  20. ADD CLARA OSWALD!!!, SHE WAS REVEALED/HINTED TO BE BI AND THEN SHE GOT KILLED BY THE WRITERS

    • Technically, Clara is still alive. The show brought her back in the finale and sent her off with Aislindr in their own Tardis.

      • But her heart isn’t beating and will never beat again, I’d call that pretty dead tbh. And once her and Ashildr/ME have had their fun traveling round the universe in a diner, Clara has to go back to the trap street because it’s essentially time locked until she comes back and ‘dies’.

  21. One of the episodes of The Zoo had a pair of lesbian scientists who were killed by bats in the Antartic. A lot of other people died as well in this show, but I found it a little odd that the only LGBTQ presence in the show were two characters who you knew from the beginning of the episode were going to die. http://uproxx.com/tv/zoo-recap-kamikaze-bats/

    • Wendy (Kerry Cahill) & Margaret (Shanna Forrestall) from Zoo (episode 1×04), who’re living there as part of a two-year plan designed to save their marriage. A swarm of bats swoops in and covers the solar panels that power their bunker/home.

    • And most have died…

      Although in Ash vs. Evil Dead, she died and then came back to life. Making the lesbian character an immortal evil sorceress is one way to avoid the lesbian death trope.
