10 Essential TV Gay Couples For LGBT+ Pride Month 2020
3. Ian And Mickey - Shameless
The oldest couple on this list and yet still incredibly relevant today, the history between Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich is so well-documented at this point that it feels like it's common knowledge. But just in case you don't know anything about them, these two lads are absolutely crazy about each other and they've been that way for a decade now.
Initially just a series of hookups that led to something much, much more, Ian and Mickey were unable to fight their clear attraction to each other. And once they overcame their own inhibitions, their demons and even each other, they finally made a go of things as a couple.
They've been through so much over the past decade (including the temporary departures of both actors), but they've always found their way back to each other - symbolic of how, in a colourless world, they bring colour to one another's lives.
10 years later and the chemistry between Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher is stronger than it ever was because 'Gallavich' has taken on everything that has been thrown their way and withstood it - even the test of time. And with happier days hopefully ahead, the notion of these two finally being content with themselves, each other and their happily ever after is one that warms this writer's heart.
