Veep (2012)

Veep includes LGBTQ+ characters whose identities are presented as incidental facts within the show's political landscape. Characters like Jonah Ryan's lesbian sister and Kent Davison's male partner are mentioned without their sexuality being a source of specific ridicule or affirmation. The show's cynical humor targets political incompetence and personal failings, not queer identity itself.

The show consistently portrays politicians' public displays of Christianity as cynical, hypocritical, and opportunistic, using faith as a tool for political gain. The narrative satirizes the exploitation of religion by its adherents in the political sphere, rather than affirming its virtues.

Veep satirizes the simplistic, often prejudiced, and opportunistic political discourse surrounding Islam, particularly in foreign policy contexts. The show critiques the politicians' ignorance and fear-mongering, positioning the audience to recognize the absurdity and harm of such bigotry, rather than endorsing negative views of the religion.
