He then played an important part in the developing gay love triangle involving Will Horton, Paul Narita and Sonny Kiriakis. After the first gay double date on a US daytime soap (Will/Sonny and Derrick/Paul), where it was revealed that Derrick was cut off by his family after coming out, he slept with Paul and hoped they would continue dating and see where things would go. With the change in head writers and the new writing regime axing the historic gay storyline, Derrick suddenly disappeared after mid-August, 2015. |

Paul Narita | Christopher Sean | Days of Our Lives | The first love of long-time gay character Sonny Kiriakis (one half of Days's gay "super-couple" Will and Sonny, the first married gay couple on a US daytime soap) and a successful professional baseball player, Paul came to Salem in November, 2014. He was immediately loved by fans and became part of a frontburner storyline that included his coming out, discovering that he is the son of John Black (Days of Our Lives) (an iconic long-term character) and a love triangle between him, Sonny and Will Horton, which also involved the newly introduced fourth gay character on the show, Derrick. Unfortunately, since head writers Christopher Whitesell and Gary Tomlin were replaced by Josh Griffith and Dena Higley, with their material starting to air in mid-August, Paul has appeared only a handful of times, and the frontburner storyline involving him, Sonny, Will and Derrick was axed by the new regime, which involved the killing of the gay legacy character Will, which led to a huge backlash from fans right before the show's 50th anniversary. |

While the two have a rocky start, they become close friends and Gus develops feelings for Rusty, holding his hand during the trial of his sister's killer and telling Rusty afterwards he cares deeply for him. On Rusty's end, he resists Gus' advances, admitting he thinks there's too much in their way due to distance and his fears of Gus no longer liking him once Gus gets to know him better. After Gus reveals he's moving to Los Angeles and shows faith in liking Rusty no matter what, Rusty is indicated to have given him a chance. In the next episode, its confirmed they are dating with the two openly flirting and kissing. Gus is later upset when Rusty turns out to be uncomfortable with being gay, being unwilling to hold Gus' hand in public, but cares enough about him to move past it. He later tells Sharon Raydor that you have to be very patient with Rusty but he finds it worth it for the sake of their relationship. In "Off the Wagon", Rusty tells Gus he loves him and can't imagine a life without him. Gus returns the sentiment, stating he'd waited a long time to tell Rusty he loves him too. |

Cosima Niehaus | Tatiana Maslany | Orphan Black | The creators have been a bit inconsistent in identifying Cosima's sexuality. Graeme Manson once said he thinks "Cosima’s been 'bisexual' (if you had to codify it), but maybe she’s ready to self-identify as gay. She would defend her freedom to choose, no matter where nature placed her in the spectrum."[65] Later on Twitter, he confirmed that she is indeed gay.[66] Additionally, Cosima did label herself as lesbian when she accidentally came out while giving a speech. |

Pascoe, edgy, ambivalent about his work, and far better-educated than Dalziel, makes a terrific foil, as does Sergeant Wield. In the first few books Wield is little more than a walk-on character best known for his incredible ugliness. Later, he allows his close colleagues--and the reader--to learn that he is gay. Later still, in The Wood Beyond, Hill allows him to have a happy relationship with an antiquarian bookseller.
