This is a verified database of any and all gay-related episodes of the TV show "Law And Order Special Victims Unit" where I've listed LGBT-themed episodes and rated them on a "gay scale" from 1 to 10, along with a brief explanation. For clarity and completeness, all other episodes are listed & rated too, to show that I've watched them, and marked with a "0" if no gay content.
# episode title rating episode description
S21 E1 I'm Gonna Make You A Star 0 / 10
S21 E2 The Darkest Journey Home 0 / 10
S21 E3 Down Low In Hell's Kitchen 10 / 10 This episode is so gay it could be a 15 out of 10. Inspired by the Jussie Smollett hate-crime hoax, the plot here focuses on a string of assaults on closeted gay men, which gains publicity when one of the victims, a young singer/celebrity, comes out of the closet publicly. The episode closes with the faint suggestion that Olivia's son Noah might be showing early signs of being gay himself, after he quits the baseball team to take ballet lessons instead.
S21 E4 The Burden of Our Choices 0 / 10
S21 E5 Midnight In Manhattan 8 / 10 One of 3 concurrent story-lines in this episode concerns the assault of a transgender prostitute, with multiple scenes taking place at the Chelsea piers gay cruising area.
S21 E6 Murdered at a Bad Address 6 / 10 Characters in this episode include an openly gay A.D.A. and 2 perps serving time in prison, one HIV+ and the other deeply in the closet.
S21 E7 Counselor, It's Chinatown 2 / 10 No gay content specifically, but this episode about busting an asian massage-parlor prostitution ring does guest-star bisexual comedian and LGBT activist Margaret Cho.
S21 E8 We Dream Of Machine Elves 0 / 10
S21 E9 Can't Be Held Accountable 0 / 10
S21 E10 Must Be Held Accountable 0 / 10
S21 E11 She Paints for Vengeance 0 / 10
S21 E12 The Longest Night of Rain 0 / 10
S21 E13 Redemption in Her Corner 0 / 10
S21 E14 I Deserve Some Loving Too 2 / 10 This episode about a sleazy immigration officer includes an all-too-brief scene of a closeted gay guy's torrid hookup with another man being discovered by the detectives.
S21 E15 Swimming with the Sharks 4 / 10 In an episode dealing with corporate fraud allegations, a bisexual female CEO accuses a colleague of rape.
S21 E16 Eternal Relief from Pain 2 / 10 Kat goes undercover as a bisexual pharmaceutical sales rep, in a far-reaching episode that deals with the opioid crisis, and guest-stars Mark Linn-Baker as a corrupt doctor.
S21 E17 Dance Lies and Video Tape 3 / 10 A group of ballerinas being unknowingly featured in porn videos is at the heart of this episode, including scenes with at least one gay male ballet dancer.
S21 E18 Garland's Baptism by Fire 0 / 10
S21 E19 Solving For The Unknowns 4 / 10 In an all-too-brief scene, Det. Kat Tamin reveals herself to be bisexual, albeit in a "blink and you'll miss it" piece of dialog (about going on blind dates with both men and women).
S21 E20 The Things We Have To Lose 7 / 10 Several LGBT characters & moments here (a continuation of Episode 5) including a reluctant witness and her lesbian partner, Det. Kat Tamin openly confirming her bisexuality, and a group of trans sex workers being targeted by a serial abuser.
Bolded episodes are particularly good ones that I personally enjoyed very much, and highly recommend viewing (regardless of any gay content or not).
