    LGBT TV Deaths

    Only a small fraction of the characters depicted on television are LGBT, and only a small percentage of those enjoy happy endings. This seemed a particularly bloody year for LGBT characters, particularly lesbians, even before the newest season of Orange Is the New Black sent viewers into a fresh grief spiral. As the "Bury Your Gays" trope continues unabated into the 21st-century, it seems a decent time to look back at the most untimely and unforgivable casualties of drama on the small screen.
