Who's your favourite gay couple from television/film?

I've only recently found Schitts Creek and have fallen in love with it. I really like the relationship between Patrick and David and think it might be my favourite representation of a gay couple on TV ever.
Who are your favourite couples on television and film?
You're right it's absolutely bonkers but so much fun. I wonder how well it's aged, not seen it in years!
It has aged perfectly. It’s one of those movies I can watch monthly.
Here’s a fun fact - when they were doing the interview circuit to promote the movie, Nathan Lane was extremely nervous because he didn’t want to be outed. It wasn’t a great time to be gay in Hollywood (or anywhere else). They were doing an interview with (iirc) Oprah, and Nathan had spoken to Robin Williams about his concern before they went out of the green room.
So she of course asks Nathan whether he’s worried that people would think that he’s gay because of his performance. Robin Williams immediately jumped in and just camped it up, and completely deflected the question. Oprah and the audience all just took it as Robin being Robin, but Nathan knew that it was a deliberate effort to prevent his embarrassment, and he still relates the story.
Just Robin Williams doing Robin Williams things. Such a good guy.
I'll add this to my list and give it a watch again soon, not been watching enough comedy these days.
