These two paved the way for future Lesbian couples.

The Big Picture Willow Rosenburg and Tara Maclay of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were one of the first cannon lesbian couples on a popular TV series. Throughout most of the nineties lesbian couples in media were generally unofficial, such as Xena and Gabrielle from Xena Warrior Princess, or depicted as villains. They were almost always highly sexualized.

Tara was first introduced at the end of Season 4 as a member of a college magic group. Willow visits her frequently for help with spells she wants to try. Exploring magic together becomes a metaphor for exploring their sexuality, but it is not immediately apparent that they are developing a romantic relationship.

There was only one way in which the depiction of their relationship was different from the straight couples on the show. There were significantly fewer kissing and bedroom scenes. This was mostly because of censorship regulations at the time, but it did help "warm up" audiences who weren't used to lesbian couples and prevent their relationship from becoming overly fetishized.
