Not only is he gay, he is also pretty unique, complex, powerful and a fascinating character to watch. And one of the more important ones in Scandal.
Another unique gay character, pretty messed up and deep, whose storylines are intriguing. Noel Fisher also plays him really well.
Mickey Milkovich's pairing, he's as complex as Mickey, although not as unique or interesting. But, being in Shameless, he is very interesting. Cameron Monaghan also plays him well.

Teen Wolf was a show with a lot of queerbaiting, and it had other gay characters, but Danny is here to represent them.

Nathan Miller - The 100

He was the main character but his being gay was barely shown, even though the numerous lesbians had a lot of steamy screen time. But still, being gay at that time was a big motivation for him, psychologically. It was important.
