While I love an easy-to-digest comedy or an unapologetically heavy drama, something is missing when our cinema treats amusing and importance as diametrically opposed. Queer cinema can be about the challenges we face, the oppression we experience, the microaggressions and aggression aggressions and all the rest, and still be fun and sexy. In truth, fun and sexy are two of our greatest tools.
Even though Hollywood has pulled back from “diversity” this was still an excellent year for queer cinema. Below, I’ve written in-depth about my ten favorites, and also felt the need to shout out 20 more queer titles. (Plus 10 non-queer movies I loved too.) But as drawn-out as we’re living in complexity, I think it’s important we reflect on which queer people are able to create in the absence of more mainstream support.

Pride Month Viewing: 20 Buzzy LGBTQ Movies Of
With another Pride Month underway, LGBTQ rights and representation in media have never been more important.
Following the Trump administration&#;s attacks on DEI and recent attempt to cancel Pride Month, GLAAD is preparing to release its 13th annual Studio Responsibility Index on June 11, exhibiting the lowest percentage of LGBTQ-inclusive films in the past three editions of the report. The study tracks scripted films released in from ten uppermost film distributors.
