For about as long as there’s been cinema, there’s been lgbtq+ cinema. I don’t just signify queer subtext, of which there has always been plenty; I mean overtly queer characters as early as Zapatas Bande in , Ich möchte kein Mann sein in , and Anders als die Andern in , all of which were German films made during the country’s Weimar period. There are ahead examples of films made in Hollywood, too, before the Hays Code was adopted in , that featured LGBTQ+ characters or played with gender identity, albeit in some harmful ways.
We’ve reach a long way since then; the past 15 years in particular have been a boon for queer cinema, so much so that there are as many bad movies as excellent ones. Which means there is space for experimentation and, often, failure for queer and gender non-conforming cinema where there wasn’t before. And personally, if I’m going to watch a bad show, I’d prefer it to be at least a little bit gay. But that’s not why we’ve gathered here. No, we are he

The 43 Best LGBTQ Shows and Movies Now on Max, from And Just Like That to Six Feet Under
It’s safe to say a lot of people had a lot of problems with the switch from HBO Max to Max, but there was at least one upside to the streaming shakeup. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the excellent queer stories floating around Warner Bros. Discoverys platform.
During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and assist subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising travel for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you complete, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier. And thats a wonderful thing because the streamer has some great ones.

10 Feel-Good LGBTQ Films To Watching During Pride Month
To put it bluntly, since the recent Presidential election, Ive felt a never-ending sense of fear and anxiety as a homosexual person living in the United States. Between various executive orders targeting the trans community and one that attempts to dictate what students can or cannot learn in university and who they can be, to be out and live openly feels even more like an act of defiance than before. Given how Celebration Month started as a riot and is a call to action as well as a celebration, films about activism that dramatize pivotal events in LGBTQ+ history should always make our watchlists.
That creature said, for this list, Ive decided to conjure up ten films that end on a cheerful note because, even in these trying times, we still need stories that end in positive confirmation. Whether theyre narratives centering on queer joy or films that at least end on a positive note after a dramatic struggle, these ten films create feelings of expect that we need as their last scenes conclude with the protagonists heading into a potentially
