Queer shows with main characters aged 35+
I am basing this on the actor's age unless the character's age is stated in the show. There are surprisingly few of these.
Not counting 40 year old characters going back in time to an earlier stage of their own life. For those, see this list: link.
Also not counting 1000 year old vampires and the like. Though if you want that, some of the ones in this list fulfill that criteria: link.
