If it feels a bit like a CW version of an after-school distinct, that's no mistake: Teen-tv super-producer Greg Berlanti makes his feature-film directorial debut here. It's as chaste a love story as you're likely to see in the 21st century—the hunky gardener who makes the title teen question his sexuality is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, for God’s sake—but you know what? The queer kids of the future need their wholesome entertainment, too.

A gay fantasia on Elton themes. An Elton John biopic was never going to be understated, but this glittering jukebox musical goes way over the top and then keeps going. It might be an overcorrection from the straight-washing of the previous year's Bohemian Rhapsody, but when it's this much fun, it's best not to overthink it.

An end-of-year round-up of 6 of the best LGBTQ films released in from around the world
While some gay movies just seem to perpetuate stereotypes, I still find them fascinating. Sometimes it’s the only way to discover certain elements of gay society. We’re a diverse group, encapsulated under a number of different letters (LGBTQIA…).

It’s still not perfect, of course. In Hollywood, as in community at large, there are many barriers left to breach and ceilings to shatter. But those recent strides deserve to be celebrated – as accomplish the bold films made long before the mainstream was willing to acknowledge them. To that close, we enlisted some Homosexual cultural pioneers, as adequately as Time O
