It has always been rather hard to find positive LGBT(etc...) characters in the media, and although things are changing, things might still be a far cry away from ideal.
I could mention 'Glee', 'The New Normal', 'Bomb Girls', 'Chicago Fire' and 'Lost Girl' but if you really want to read about them you could always just head to relevant pop-culture websites.
So instead I'll be focusing on reviewing some free (!) LGBT or LGBT-friendly web comics. I'll be mentioning web comics that I've read, am reading, or relate to. But I do know that there is much more queer-positive material out there, so feel free to keep these as starting points!
This is currently my favourite web-comic out there. It is not LGBT-focused but does have some characters and story arcs which focus around the lives of some of the characters in the comic.
For starters Thea and Mimi! A cute lesbian couple whose story starts from the 4th panel in the image here:
And continues and develops to the point where they're teaching Hazel (the straight protagonist of GWS) about lesbian sex;

Questionable Content is an awesome web-comic which just got a little bit more awesome, when one of the newer characters Claire, came out as trans a few months ago.
Jeph Jacques had this to say about Claire's coming out:
"I have to admit, I am nervous about posting this comic, because including a trans person in my cast is something I have wanted to do for years and I really, really want to do a good job of it. One of the major themes of QC, I think, is of inclusion, and this seemed like a pretty important thing to include. I have given it a lot of thought and done a lot of research, so hopefully I won't screw up. I'll do my best, anyway."
