This article focuses on contemporary queer television and examines its depiction of LGBTQ border crossings and migration. In recent years, a shift in the American and British televisual landscape has seen queer television drama veering away from a predominant focus on white, middle-class characters, towards an exploration of immigrant positionalities and the geopolitical relevance of state borders. However, these changes in media representation have not yet been granted sufficient academic attention. This article aims to fill this gap through analysing three relevant examples of US and UK queer television; Transparent (2014-2019) , Years and Years (2019) and Orange is the New Black (2013-2019
