Whereas the last post was celebrating all canon examples of LGBT characters this one is meant to celebrate the relationships that aren't but may yet be or are ones that are just the most popular. Basically, if you ship show it. :D

Sasha, Ann and Marcy
Raya and Namaari
Lara Croft and Sam Nishimura (which is something pretty much EVERY writer in the series has tried to make Canon)
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (DCAU Only)
Merrill and Isabella
Elsa and Honeymaren
Finn and Poe
Cindy and Alice
Jinx and Lux
Jack and Miranda
Fem-Shep and Tali (still bitter about the fact that I COULD have romanced her if not for BioWare being bullied into not doing it)
Dick, Barbara and Starfire
Peter, MJ and Felicia (both woman are bi so it IS possible)
Eddie and Richie

What about you, who are the couples you like that aren't canon but are ones you prefer to the actual canon? :)

Skorpia and Perfuma. Yeah Stevenson confirmed it later but COME ON.
Finn and Poe
Fem-shep and Tali
Morrigan and Leiana
Iron Bull and Dorian and Inquisitor
Kira and Jadzia
Susan Ivanova and Talia Winters. Kinda canon and they did what they could get away with but wish it was a real plot.
Valerian Mengsk and Matt Horner.

Stamets and Culber? I really don't got one.

Oh wait. Cam and Mitchell from Modern Family. Mostly because of Cam.

Black/Yang from RWBY. You can TELL the writers are going to make it canon EVENTUALLY, but they're taking their time to do so...

Its outright stated that they did it on the show. Its not ''kinda canon'' at all. You know what else this was? It was treated like heterosexual relationships are - it was remarked upon and then life went on. This is vastly superior to making a big deal out of it because it implies that equality has been achieved.

Almost always, having women kiss is for the benefit of the heterosexual male audience not the LGBT audience. You'll note if you've been paying attention that lesbians outnumber gays on screen by a considerable amount. Babylon 5 made the correct decision. Their relationship is now remembered as one of love rather than screencap fap material for men (if you don't know what I mean by this, go to a Star Trek screencap site and look at how many views that Jadzia and *whatever her name is* kiss caps have compared to everything other cap from that episode).

Ah yes, the hetero couples have openly acknowledged season-long courtships that explicitly involve sleeping together. The gay couple is shown talking a few times and are in the same bedroom without comment once so it's deniable if the censor asks. Totally identical.

Hell apples to apples, Ivanova had a lot more of an onscreen relationship with Marcus.
