Coronation Street
Coronation Street is a British television soap opera, set in the fictional town of Weatherfield in Greater Manchester. It has been appearing regularly since 1960, and was originally conceived by Tony Warren. It is now the world's longest-running soap opera.
For many years there was a complaint that the show was unrepresentative in not showing any gay characters, but more recently there have been suggestions, for instance by Brian Sewell that it's "too gay".[1]
LGBT characters include:
- Todd Grimshaw
- Sean Tulley
- Hayley Cropper (trans woman)
- Sophie Webster
- Sian Powers
- Marcus Dent
- Marc Selby (heterosexual cross-dresser)
- Ted Page
